Internet providers

Hi
I will be moving to hull at the end of September into private accommodation (not owned by uni) and am a bit confused about internet providers. Am I right in thinking that KC is the only option? Or are there others?
Although kc is the only provider, there are apparently some companies that offer wifi exclusive packages, but i'd just stick with kc. If you live in certain parts of hull, like near uni for example, then you should be able to get light stream which offers great speeds ^_^

Unlimited is only available if you are going to be in an area where lightstream is available. If you already know your term time postcode you can check here http://www.kc.co.uk/products/broadband/

If you have Lightstream, there is an unlimited package (at a very hefty fee due to them having a monopoly here) named light stream ultra 250 http://i.imgur.com/l21weoW.png (bottom package) Although im told it isnt truly unlimited but still offers far more downloads than the other packages.

Also recently I heard a new company has started coming to Hull called Pure Broadband I believe, although probably will have limited availability but might be worth looking into.
