www.nextgenus.net/current_fibre_ ... index.html An alternative

It seems good but I wouldn't trust down to the fact it isn't that well known and I don't know anyone that uses it so I cannot get info on how it is. The alternatives I meant was virgin, sky and BT.

I know a few people who've got it and they very impressed with it. On their official Facebook page there is plenty of positive feedback and as yet nothing negative at all.

I'm seriously considering changing

Let me know how it goes. I'm moving back to Hull in summer, and can't stand Karoo! One of the benefits of living in West Yorkshire: you pay for Sky and you can get the internet for next to nothing!

Walking back from the rugby on Friday down Chanterlands Ave, they had a big billboard advertising Sky Broadband. It wasn't on a major route for out-of-towners, and you can't get it in Hull, so can I ask what the hell was the point of advertising it?!

I don't have any problem with it,i've used it at work and home and on speedtest i can get 11mb at both,no problems 24/7. The only time i had a problem was at home and that was down to a cheap phone line extension and old modem,the moment i switched it to adsl with a quality extension lead it's flown along without a hitch. This is in Hedon.

That's odd. I never saw this thread last night but at 11pm I was downloading at 1.7Mb per second from Astraweb. I'm about a mile from telephone house.

I was on Call of Duty, and watched the footy on Skyplayer and it was great... And I'm in Willerby!!

We have 3 laptops, an XBox Live, 3 iPod Touches and 3 phones running on our broadband at the height of our home use and apart from it dropping every now and then rarely have any problems. We're on Dorchester Road, Bransholme.

If anyone has an iPhone, Apple are releasing an update this week which allows iPhones to release a WiFi signal for up to 5 devices through the phones 3G. And if you're lucky enough to be on 3 mobile, they give an 'all-you-can-eat data' plan which is literally unlimited, unlike other networks which have a fair usage limit.

Happy Days!

Only iPhone4 tho!!

Bit late now, but yesterday a lot of phones were down as well, couldn't contact anyone in Witham area yesterday afternoon. Seemed to be sorted by 3.30pm.

More like UNLUCKY 3 is the worst network in the UK hence the reason they give favourable plans out.

Where abouts on Dorchester Road are you and what time do you all go to bed? Oh, and what's your security system like?

Just interested, that's all.

I'm unlimited on O2... I have no trouble.

Maybe due to the power cut on and around New Cleveland Street yesterday afternoon.

Pfft, comes as standard on my HTC Desire HD.

I have the wildfire, 2000mins 5000 texts and all you can eat data..all for 20quid a month. bargain..

Seems interesting!

I can cut and paste the FT article, but I don't know if that breaks any forum rules

Was having the same problem with it dropping me out, as I work from home alot it was no good this happeneing, ring 602555 and tell them, they increased the noise level(db's) which should steady the broadband signal and make it more stable. So far it has been ok.

Who's that with?

Probably 3. Only problem is his phone won't work unless he's stood next to a mast

Hope this actually comes off.

You can actually get Virgin in Hull only telephone and internet services but the internet is actually available unlimited only a 20mb connection though

What they actually did was turn your line speed down. That increases the SNR and makes the connection more stable.

Anything 6dB and above should be stable, sometimes a bit lower is also ok.
