What our customers say

  • We're on the 250Mbps package and it works a treat, no issues. We've cancelled our Sky subscription since getting it and just download/stream now.

    James Wilson of Hull
  • I have to say a massive thank you to @KCOMhome today for a fast and effective service sorting my Lightstream at home today! Service with a smile, a new router and so helpful. I'm up and running faster than ever!

    Jan Hornby of Hedon
