Can you have VM through the Kingston Communication network?
My mother lives in the Kingston Communication area, and she is under the impression that she can only use Kingston Communication for her broadband and telephone service.
Can anyone tell me if this is the case or not?

Unlike the rest of the UK, KC have a almost complete monopoly in Hull, but there are some alternatives. The main one is Nexus Telecom (via the KC network) for phone service and Sure Broadband for internet.
Virgin Media on the other hand do not serve Hull at all!
At least as far as I know!

She actually lives in Swanland (North Ferriby), which is to the west of Hull.
I've checked the post code on the VM website, and it says she can have VM National for £7.99 per month. But will she still have to pay KC line rental?

Re: Can you have VM through the Kingston Communication network?
If you can get VM National you can get just about any BT Wholesale provider. Of which there are tons that are better than VM national.
Swanland also has AOL, TalkTalk and Sky LLU services.
Again, why the hell would you want VM national.

You could try entering the postcode into the Broadband checker at http://www.samknows.com

Because I won't use Tiscali, BT, or AOL, due to previous experience. I have personally found VM the best of a bad bunch.

Whoever she goes with, will she still have to pay the KC line rental?

i think so, unless it someone liek sky who have llu and can offer the line rental thorugh them but i think sky pays it to bt they lease it form bt and then lease it back to you, but i cant be sure but she will still need the line rental just cant be sure if it will be form kc, check and see if sky is avaialable apart from bad cusotmer service tiscali are slightly better my suggest stay away from virgin national if oyu can get someone else use them
