About KCOM

KCOM is a leading provider of communications and IT services. Its foundations date back to 1904 when Hull’s local authority established its own telephone network and is the reason Hull is the only city in the UK where BT does not operate. KCOM was owned entirely by Hull City Council until its flotation on the London Stock Exchange in 1999 and in August 2019 was acquired by infrastructure investor Macquarie for £627m.

The company has a long history of innovation. It installed the first all-digital telephone network in Europe and launched the first commercial broadband service in the UK. It also introduced the UK’s first online TV service in 1999, pre-empting today’s streaming and downloading technology by decades.

Today KCOM provides broadband and phone services to more than 140,000 consumers and businesses in Hull, East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire and last year began a £100m expansion of its full fibre network to dozens of new communities across the region.
