thats y i not signed up yet want confirmation on what fair usage is becuase i dont see you can have a 50 meg connetion and only download at full speed for 15 mins before your capped for 24 hours

As far as I understand, it isn't capping exactly that they're doing - I think it's similar to the old Max style priorities, those who've downloaded their 4GB allowance get lower priority than those that haven't.

So, i can get this NextGenUs in my area; HU54PH?

If so, would i be able to keep my karoo land line, but take this new ISP?

Without contacting NextGenUs and signing up for an installation I don't know if you could get it.

Yes you can keep the land line, I have.

So i'd have to enquire first for the installation.

Is there a costly price on this?

The installation costs are in one of the other threads, I think it's £200-£300 depending what monthly fee you want to take. I've gone for £300 which gives a monthly fee of £8.50 I believe. When they're doing the installation they will tell you what speed you will get, if you're unhappy then that's the time to say STOP and they will remove the equipment and not charge you. If for any reason they can't get a minimum of 10mbps. Given how close you are to me, I'd say you'll probably get the same or very similar speeds to what I get.

They're focusing heavily on their FTTH deployment in a Lincolnshire village at the moment so if you do submit an application, you might not hear back for some time.

Looks like they are looking at the Hull area again.  Got an e-mail this morning in reply to one I sent in early July - they provided pricing information asked for my full details to arrange survey. 

Already with Airnet as didn't get any response in July.
