Hull Digital Meet Up

by Dave Foy on February 1, 2009

I’ve written a fuller piece over at the Definition website on this so I won’t repeat myself too much here…

Founded by the irrepressible Jon Moss, Hull Digital is a new website that aims to be the hub of the digital community in the city of Hull. If you live in or around Hull and work on the web or otherwise with digital technologies, we’d love you to get involved. Whether you’re a web developer, digital marketer, or are involved in any way with digital technologies for business or pleasure, you’re most welcome.

What’s the point?

Following the principle of ‘together we stand’, Hull Digital aims to be a means of sharing ideas, networking, and even getting us off our backsides from behind a monitor screen and meeting the people with who we share a contribution to the local digital economy.

Particularly, the group intends to make lots of noise about the monopoly enjoyed by our local ISP, and campaigning for ways to bring alternative broadband providers into the city, including fibre optics.

The first Hull Digital meet-up happens today and will be the first of many. Get involved, spread the word, see you there!

Interesting look at the knock-on financial and social benefits of the next generation of fibre-optic broadband.

Nice service to check your internet broadband download speed courtesty of SpeakEasy.

Strange how my ISP tell me my speed should be up to 8MB yet I seem to be getting 1.8MB at best…
