Sean Royce, KCOM Managing Director, said: “Seven years ago we promised our customers the fastest broadband in the UK and, following the completion of our Lightstream rollout KCOM has completed its £85m ($104m) rollout of "gigabit-capable" FTTP broadband ISP network and a slower FTTC (fibre-to-the-cabinet) network. The Lightstream project covers more than 195,000 properties across Hull and East Yorkshire and has been delivered ahead of a UK government deadline for gigabit-capable networks of 2025. In the UK, there are currently around 550,000 premises with fibre to the cabinet (FTB) connections but only about 200,000 have access to 100Mbps speeds.
