]]> karen Tue, 01 Oct 2019 14:45:00 +0100 Who has the fastest Broadband in the West http://www.leithhill.net/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=39 An update on Kijoma service speeds compared to the rest for the West of West Sussex.
The four groups with Hooksway in the centre are Kijoma customer tests , the rest are.... The rest..


]]> karen Mon, 22 Feb 2016 10:04:00 +0100 Broadband and Telephone - cheaper than the rest ! http://www.leithhill.net/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=38
Kijoma, unlike other mainstream Providers owns and runs all of its Networks and infrastructure. This is not funded by subsidies or hand outs, it is funded ultimately by the customers who use it.

What it does mean of course is if there are any faults then we can detect them and fix them far faster than the other Providers. We do not have to book the company which owns the lines or infrastructure to investigate, we also do not threaten customers with a £140+ bill if the fault turns out to be due to something they own or use.

It also means we can and do upgrade our Networks and these upgrades benefit our existing customers first. Our aim is not to chase new customers and let the existing ones stagnate, as some do.

To add to this we can also provide services such as Telephone via our Networks and as this has no reliance on BT or their antiquated phone lines then it also means we can provide it much cheaper and with a far higher call quality.

We use and recommend Voipfone (cache) an award winning Telephone Provider. You can say goodbye to line rental and connection fees, as many of our customers have already and say hello to much lower cost calls, direct support without foreign call centres, FREE 1471, 1571, Caller ID and FREE calls to other customers on the same system, wherever they are. Not forgetting being able to have multiple calls on the same line at the same time and of course stupidly low cost International calls.

Don't take our word for it though, visit http://www.kijoma.net/phone and enter in the details from your last BT bill, then compare the totals.

Some customers have gone from paying £35 a month to £5 a month, many even less. Business customers save even more and savings of ~£1000 a year are not uncommon.

Where else can you get Broadband and Phone with 1 penny calls for under £17 a month ?

]]> karen Mon, 18 Jan 2016 12:23:00 +0100 New tariffs and upgrade work a plenty http://www.leithhill.net/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=35
As it is effectively our customers and not the public purse paying for the upgrade work then it only seems right that we should introduce new service levels this year.

These will initially only be available to existing customers within upgraded areas. We are aiming for more flexible tariffs without set limits and as a bonus a combined phone and Broadband option!

By combining phone and Broadband customers will make actual real world savings over a typical traditional fixed line bundle, including eliminating the need for £16+ line rental!

Some customers have already independently moved their telephone service away from ancient phone lines and now enjoy low cost calls worldwide, clear and sharp sound quality, free calls and and a whole host of free benefits that they used to have to pay for or were not available.

None that we know of have ever looked at going back. We certainly haven't.
]]> karen Sat, 31 Jan 2015 10:54:00 +0100 Broadband in West Sussex - where is the public money going? http://www.leithhill.net/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=34
Many of you may live in areas Kijoma do not as yet cover. If this is you then you may find it interesting to note the situation in some areas of the county where significant time and money are currently being spent. At least two of these areas already have a fast Broadband service in place and have had for ~9 years with over 96% population take up.

However it was decided ~3 years ago by the County Council that the service (from Kijoma) in those areas did not exist and they publicly declared there was/is NO Broadband in these places via their website and in the media, plus they also put it in writing to us.

So if you find your area is not included in the public funded upgrade of BT's system and you lack an option of Broadband service of 2 Mbps or over then perhaps it might pay to ask why your location is less important than one where another commercial provider already operates?

It is hardly surprising that this apparent abuse of public resource for competitive gain is causing other ISPs such as Kijoma to hold off investing in new areas while this uncertainty exists.

Our West Sussex Network infrastructrure as a result, has been replaced at least twice since 2005! This has been a programme of continuous investment in order to ensure Kijoma provides the best service possible.

Now it is time to once again upgrade our systems to the next level. This time we will need to change all customer client Aerials which still use the older technology, as well as the Infrastructure and system equipment.

]]> karen Wed, 14 May 2014 08:42:00 +0100 New coverage in 2014 http://www.leithhill.net/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=32
This decision has been taken here as competing commercially with a state funded competitor would be a foolish move, especially as the conditions of this funding completely prejudice genuine independently provided services such as those provided by Kijoma.

However, we have added one area of coverage to our Superfast and reliable Broadband Network in Staffordshire.

The area of Needwood is now enabled for Kijoma's Superfast service and our coverage map on the area websites, including www.tatenhill.net will be updated soon to reflect this.
]]> karen Wed, 29 Jan 2014 10:14:00 +0100 2013 - A Summary http://www.leithhill.net/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=31
To make up for this, here is a summary of last years Milestones :-

Early 2013 saw the success of the mammoth task of changing our peering arrangement on our largest Networks. This Network now directly peers with Level3, one of the largest and most well connected Tier 1 providers in the world (www.level3.com) via one of their PoP's (Points of Presence) in Sussex.

This change was partly due to ongoing performance issues with our former supplier, but mainly due to our drive for greater quality and lower latency connectivity to the worlds Internet.

Demand for our service continued to rise during the year and we continued to focus installation effort on the areas with the greatest demand first. This decision was made due to the sheer volume of orders from all over our coverage areas. We had to maximise the time spent installing our service compared to travelling to/from locations.

The Network installed in 2012 covering parts of Staffordshire and Derbyshire grew in 2013 and now serves 100's of customers in the area with Superfast Broadband, including 2 major Schools, 2 Pubs, a College and three Business Parks.

Kijoma continue to monitor the political situation with respect to Broadband, noting that one commercial provider, BT, has ended up with all the tax payers money as part of the "competitive" government BDUK process. Where this money, all £1.2Bn of it will be spent, is currently "secret".

This causes a lot of uncertainty for all other genuine commercial providers such as Kijoma when it comes to deciding where to place additional long term investment of their own.

Services provided by Kijoma and others are currently not recognised, consequently this state funding can be used to over build our Networks coverage areas.

This will affect our 2014 expansion and upgrade program until more detail is known about where the money is to be spent. Existing customers and Networks are unaffected.
]]> karen Wed, 29 Jan 2014 09:43:00 +0100 NEW! Super Fast Kijoma network goes Live in Staffordshire http://www.leithhill.net/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=30
While up to 38 Mbps "Super Fast" Fibre Broadband is being gradually rolled out in nearby Burton on Trent, residents and businesses in these rural areas now have the option of an actual 40 Mbps service starting at a mere £13.99 a month.

For more info, visit http://www.tatenhill.net . If you live in the area then please order soon to take advantage of the reduced install rate currently available, it cannot last forever.
