Hull Broadband connect their first residential customer

Martin Lauer, Managing Director of the firm, said: "As a local businessman, I simply love the idea of Hull gaining its independence in terms of telephone and internet provision.

The first non-Kcom residential broadband service is being connected in Hull today. Jonathan Gibbins, IT Manager of The One Point, will be the first person in the city not to rely on Kcoms hardware or technology for his Internet connection. Mr Gibbins can also use the service to make telephone calls.
