Quickline Expand 50Mbps Wireless Broadband Cover in West Lindsey

Fixed wireless ISP Quickline claims to have boosted its existing 50Mbps broadband network coverage in the Lincolnshire (England) district of West Lindsey, which should mean that they’re able to reach some of the remotest outlying rural homes and businesses in the area.

A spokesperson for the ISP said, “In the past, some of the remote houses, farms and businesses that were too far away from the street cabinets used by traditional telecoms companies, were out of reach and these properties were subject to very poor internet connections, in some cases could receive no connection at all.”

Sadly the provider hasn’t revealed precisely what they’ve done or which new areas are covered by the latest upgrade, although there are some quotes from residents of East Stockwith and the surrounding areas. The development complements the other recent expansion of Quickline’s network via the Government’s Broadband Delivery UK pilot (here).

David Forington, A Farmer in East Stockwith, said:

“Our previous connection with BT business broadband was frequently problematic making it very difficult to run our farming business, as over time more and more emphasis has been placed on using the internet for payroll, VAT online banking, etc. The service was about 1.0 Mb but also unreliable with frequent faults.

We are about 3 miles from a fibre cabinet in the village of Morton but BT had never given an official time scale for a high speed service. I personally don’t think they will ever bring it here as it is probably not financially viable.

We heard about Quickline through the local press and village newsletter and attended an open evening in the local pub. It was relatively simple to install and works very well. We are very pleased with the system and able to use the internet to run our business and use it in the home.”

According to Quickline’s website, the installation fee for their service is usually £150 (likely to be less in the BDUK pilot areas, not least due to the 2Mbps USC subsidy scheme) and the monthly rental options are as follows (remember that you don’t require separate fixed line rental for wireless connections).
