Quickline Builds to 40,000 Premises Under UK Project Gigabit Broadband Rollout

Rural UK ISP Quickline, which is busy deploying a new gigabit-capable full fibre (FTTP) and fixed wireless (FWA) network across parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire (3-Year Rollout Plan), has revealed that they’ve so far built to 40,000 premises out of the total 121,210 premises contracted across its publicly subsidised Project Gigabit contracts.

Just to recap. The provider holds four contracts under the Government’s £5bn Project Gigabit scheme, worth a total of c.£300m in public subsidy. In terms of current progress, they’ve so far completed 7,150 premises passed for South Yorkshire (54% of contract), 6,660 premises passed in North Yorkshire (20% of contract) – ahead of target, 13,610 premises passed in West Yorkshire (52% of contract) and 13,270 premises passed for the East Riding of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire (28% of contract).

Quickline currently aims to extend gigabit-capable broadband to a further 360,000 UK premises across thousands of rural communities (roughly 170k via publicly funded projects and almost 200k from commercial builds). The provider recently reported that they ended 2025 with 200,000 premises passed via full fibre (plus 200k more via wireless).

Customers of the service currently pay from just £24.99 per month on a 24-month minimum term for symmetric speeds of 200Mbps, which rises to £32.99 for 1000Mbps (1Gbps). New subscribers can also benefit from up to £300 of switching credit, which helps to cover early termination chargers if you choose to leave your old provider while still within contract.

Dan Hague, Project Gigabit Delivery Director at Quickline, said:

“Delivering more than 36,000 Project Gigabit connections during 2025 – and passing 40,000 early in 2026 – is a huge achievement for our teams and a clear demonstration of the pace, capability and commitment we bring to these contracts.

Each programme brings its own challenges, but across all four we’re seeing strong momentum, milestone delivery and, most importantly, real impact for rural communities that have waited far too long for reliable broadband.

We’re proud of what’s been achieved so far and are firmly focused on maintaining this pace as we continue to deliver through 2026.”
