Following numerous searches with ALL (wired) providers, they are unable to offer their services to my Hull postcode.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Kingston Communications is a private company and the UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for its operation or the operations of other service providers.
