Quickline has made its full fibre broadband network available to communities across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, including Barlby, Hebden, Metheringham, Tealby and Belton.
Build teams are now working in Riccall, near Sleby, North Yorkshire, to bring connectivity to the village, while work will soon begin in Settle, North Yorkshire and Caistor in Lincolnshire. Quickline is also building in South Yorkshire for the first time, bringing full fibre to the village of Finningley, near Doncaster.
The company has built a robust and diverse supply chain, combining its own internal build team with reputable build partners to create capacity to connect 110,000 premises annually.
Additionally, 60 new mast sites have gone live since January, providing homes and businesses with broadband via Quickline’s 5G fixed wireless broadband technology.
Sean Royce, CEO of Quickline, said, “It’s been an incredibly successful year with some important milestones in our ongoing mission to bridge the digital divide between rural and urban areas.
“We’ve scaled up our business with purpose and expanded our teams to further improve our ability to build and grow our networks, so we can continue to provide fast and reliable broadband to rural communities that would otherwise be left behind.
“We’ve invested in the very best technology to deploy an XGS-PON gigabit-capable full fibre network and have plans to introduce 2.5 Gbps in the new year.”
Julian Chalk, head of enablement and engagement at Quickline, added, “We’re proud to have connected many very hard to reach communities over the course of 2023.
“As we head into a new year, we’ll be announcing many more communities where we’ll be taking our full fibre broadband, giving homes and businesses the opportunity to enjoy significantly improved internet speeds.”
