Seems odd ?
I feel confident that someone on MN will be able to explain why this might be the case.
IN Hull obviously

Historically, Hull has its own telephone company KCOM. It’s open market now but for some reason BT doesn’t seem to have put any infrastructure in as yet….

It’s 30 years since I lived in Hull but back then they had their own phone company.

Yep. Hull has its own phone company.

And iconic white KCOM phone boxes instead of BT red

Yes, they were the only place that had their own phone company back in the days when we all just had BT everywhere else. Kingston Communications IIRC

Oh great.

How am I supposed to get my yoni massaged now?

Yep. Company called Kingston I think do/did all telecoms in Hull.
I used to work for a High St retailer and I had to deal with Kingston to get phone lines for new stores in Hull.

You had to say that when I’d just picked up a full mug of coffee, didn’t you?
