End the monopoly of KC on Phone & Broadband/Fibre services in Hull.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

KC charge what they like for their services despite more competitive rates being available from other providers. However, no other provider can offer their services to the people of Hull. Why?

We need to end this!
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.
