   Anyone else here but Kingston?
The Independent is carrying the story of Diana Wallis, Liberal Democrat MEP for Yorkshire and the Humber, who has written to the European Competition Commissioner calling for them to intervene over Kingstons monopoly of the Broadband market for Hull.

Diana is calling on her constituents to write to OFCOM complaining about how they are held to ransom in the area. Due to a lack of fibre, Virgin cable is also not available.

Kingston have hit back saying they do allow other ISP`s to resell their services - just that none have chosen to do so, so far.

"There is a popular misconception that Kingston Communications prevents other ISPs from providing broadband services in Hull. This is not the case. We are obliged by Ofcom to make wholesale internet products available to ISPs that wish to provide broadband services in this area via our network.

The broadband market in Hull is open to any ISP who wishes to offer services here. Whether or not they do so is purely a commercial decision for them based on their view of the attractiveness of the market."
