Wireless ISP Quickline Joins Cityfibre’s UK Full Fibre Network

Broadband ISP Quickline has today become the latest ISP to join Cityfibre’s growing national wholesale Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network, which will enable them to launch gigabit-capable internet packages across a number of initial UK towns and cities during early 2021.

As most people know, Cityfibre is currently investing £4bn (here and here) to rollout FTTP across around 1 million premises by the end of 2021 and then 8 million across 100+ cities and towns (c.30% of the UK) – the latter target is expected to be “substantially completed” by the end of 2025 (depending upon how they define ‘substantially’).

A good number of UK ISPs have already joined their network, such as Vodafone (Gigafast Broadband), TalkTalk and Zen Internet among others, although at launch they aren’t all live or available in every one of the towns and cities being covered. The same is true for Quickline, which will initially only offer packages to people in Doncaster, Leeds, Huddersfield and Batley & Dewsbury.

Nick Thompson, Commercial Director at Quickline, said:

“Quickline are delighted to be partnering with CityFibre to bring gigabit services to a whole new audience. Over the last 10 years Quickline have been dedicated to beginning superfast connections to rural communities across Yorkshire & Lincolnshire.

In 2021 we are broadening our footprint, delivering superfast, ultrafast and gigabit capable services in North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and Lincolnshire. We are broadband specialists and partnering with City Fibre allows us to offer our services in new areas.”

At present we couldn’t see any details about related packages on Quickline’s website, but hopefully that will soon follow.
