Hull ISP cuts off suspected file sharers

lets see how long karoo are around for, at the end of the day they are a business to make money, every banned customer or new potential customers who go else where because of their policy will cost them. lets see if they change their mind very soon

that was quick, now lets see how long it is b4 they get rid of the 3 strikes and your out policy.. i think soon as they start losing customers

They won't though lose that many customers. Karoo/Kingston Telecom pretty much have a monopoly in the Hull area.

just get a bt line or sky,
most people can pick what isp they want, and those that cap or cut people off will lose customers.. just like when tiscali capped me, i moved isp. no problems, their loss.

Not in Hull though... Hull is the only place in the UK not served by BT.

I just moved from BT to 02 . BT were becoming a pain in the bum with their silly restrictions; £15.99 for Option 1 with a 10Gb download limit with a £1.20 per Gb over limit, and an 18month contract. In this day and age of YouTube and online streaming, those limits are pathetic. Elsa watches a lot of Pinoy TV online, and 10 Gb doesn't last long.

The deal I got with 02 is unlimited downloads and AND 2 months free all for £17.13. Plus free connection and UK call centres. My local exchange has BT as the sole supplier, with no LLU or anything like that, so I'm stuck with ADSL platform products only. If I was in an LLU area, 02 would have offered the above deal at just £7.82 monthly.

yes Rob, I'm thinking of changing to O2 if bulldog don't knock at least £15 a month of my bill. i didn't mind paying £40 a month more than 2yrs ago for the service they provided, but now with O2 offering less than 1/2 the price of that, time to go ..
