The Development of Broadband in Hull

Broadband in Hull and the surrounding areas is going through exciting changes every day. More and more people are benefitting from faster speeds than ever before, with an ever-growing network of independent broadband providers and consistently expanding FTTP infrastructure supporting multiple households. Hull has long been a leader in full-fibre broadband, in a country where figures are still at only around 7 out of 10 households getting access. 

‍

At MS3, we’ve supported the infrastructure for broadband suppliers in Hull by acting as a network provider in the area, along with The Humber Region and beyond. Our operation is purely wholesale, meaning that we provide the necessary independent fibre networks and facilitate connections, allowing internet service providers to offer new connectivity to thousands of households. The rollout across Hull, Scunthorpe and other regions of Northern England is set to benefit 80,000 households.

Throughout this piece, we’re going to dig into the benefits of introducing more independent fibre broadband in Hull, while also putting the spotlight on some of the providers we work with.

Benefits of independent full-fibre broadband in Hull

The increase in choices of broadband providers in Hull is bringing a wide range of benefits to the people in the area. 

‍

Combatting broadband monopoly

For many years broadband in Hull and the surrounding areas has been vastly provided by larger companies like KCOM (in Hull) or Sky (Scunthorpe etc.). While they are perfectly effective, market domination resulted in a lack of options for some years. MS3 is helping to combat this monopoly by rolling out independent fibre networks, meaning that consumers can check out a multitude of deals, compare more options and ultimately find the best choice for their needs. 

‍

Localised support

Another benefit of independent fibre broadband in Hull is the capacity for more streamlined localised support. By going local, you’re choosing a company with their operations based in the area, meaning they can respond to your concerns or problems faster. This could mean better, faster network issue resolutions, with less red tape on the way through customer assistance.

‍

Better value for money/pricing

The single-minded monopolising of broadband in Hull has allowed the bigger brands to drive up prices. Independent fibre networks allow independent suppliers to offer better prices, if not better value for money, with more focused, dedicated service at rates the rival the titans.
