NextGenUs Service Soft Launch

[Adrian]

The site next to the Total on Chanterlands Ave is an O2 mobile base station. A few other operators have also placed street level masts around Hull.

 If you look at the map and draw a circle round the blue zone the center of the blue zone would be where the mast is which puts it about  Great Thornton St  flats where Fibrestream was putting Fibre to plus would they not want the mast as high as possible

I have been using NextGenUs service as my primary internet connection for a few months now. It has been very reliable, has worked when Karoo has been down and I have seen speeds in excess of 40Mbps.
Many applications have been used over it and you can't tell it isn't a wired connection, it doesn't behave any differently. Ping times and latency are actually lower than on my Karoo ADSL2+ Gaming profile making the service perfect for VOIP and online gaming.

can i ask what post code you are  please  ? on the map  how far are you from the middle of the blue zone ?

[Adrian]

Hi, I'm in the HU3 postcode area about 1KM from the NextGenUs equipment. I am in the blue zone section 3

[MickyByte]

It's a shame I live in the HU7 area near North Point Shopping centre, I doubt I will get this NextGen service everyone seems to be talking about recently.



Damn 

[bobthebuilder]

i am in the hu3 3 area si hopefully i can get good speeds too

[MickyByte]

I wonder if there is any possible way to contact them personally besides email

[dylan]

It'll be nice to see what it's like when a few more people are using the service too.

I'm really surprised at the latency though. That's not bad at all! Very respectable.

[Frenchie]

Indeed. Just wait until it gets busy with hundreds of subscribers.
The words chickens and hatch come to mind!

[piscosour]

Any plans to go the other way and cover Brough? We're moving there in the next few days and wondering if we can avoid Karoo/KC altogether!

@NextGenUS

Think i might take the plunge and use the new service.

Just spoke to karoo regarding my talk 1 package and internet service.. The problem i have is i don't us the landline for calls but 'have to' have the phone package to be able to keep the line rental so my internet will work..

I have a contract phone which i use for all my calls so i'm paying £131.88 a year for something i'm not even using.. I'm also not happy with getting 7mb, We need to be moving with the times and receiving better internet, Sooner!

Unfortunately i was hoping i could be loyal to my local company as i try to support my local companies when and where i can.. But the proposed plan to put fibre from the exchanges to the cabinets to improve our internet service over a 10yr rollout plan, is just too long for me, And considering i know they are starting with Kingswood and then the outer reach villages means that where i live will be one of the last to be improved..

I will enquire with NextGenUS about having their equipment installed and all being well i will invest in this new service and report back with my findings..

I have already been informed by NextGenUS that they will install equipment to check that i can receive a minimum of 10mb+ and if this is not possible they will not charge.. If i am happy with the speeds they can give me and they are happy they can provide a minimum of 10mb+ then the contracts can be sorted and payment made..

I will consider my options today and keep people informed.

Regards
El

Any plans for this service available to be available to the west, like in Brough for example?

Will it be 'continually' better than the Karoo 8mbps MAX? Main uses will be PS3 network gaming, TV catchup downloads and streaming and general internet.

If so I would betempted to dump my KC line completely.

Also it will be interesting to see how it copes, when (if) it gets a lot of users on there....
