KCOM broadband deals

About KCOM

KCOM provides full fibre broadband to homes and businesses throughout Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. A business with deep-rooted beginnings, KCOM’s pioneering expertise in telecommunications spans over 100 years. In 2019, KCOM began delivering its full fibre network to homes in Yorkshire. It was one of the first providers to offer full fibre broadband (also known as fibre-to-the premises and fibre-to-the-home) in the UK.

In January 2020, KCOM announced its blueprint to bring full fibre broadband to thousands more homes and businesses across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, as part of a £100 million investment programme.

KCOM channels future-forward solutions. So, by developing the FTTP infrastructure in towns and villages in the region, more homes and businesses can benefit from full fibre connectivity. With full fibre, customers can confidently work online or remotely, opening up greater flexibility for households to be able to change-up their work life balance.

What type of broadband does KCOM offer?

KCOM was one of the first providers to offer full fibre broadband in the UK. Many homes already have a form of fibre broadband, known as fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) and this has worked well over the years. However, fibre cables only go to the street cabinet (shared with neighbours) and don’t reach directly into the home.

The connection from the cabinet relies on old copper telephone wiring to deliver broadband. This can be the reason for buffering, connection drops and other common broadband frustrations, as copper wires are limited in the amount of data that they can transmit to your home.

FTTP is a future-proof solution that presents better connectivity for multiple-device homes which use greater bandwidth often at the same time. Full fibre has stepped up as a next-level solution, delivering average download speeds of 100, 300, 500 and 900Mbps (depending on package selected. These are some of the fastest speeds in the UK.
