Quickline UK List 96 Locations for FTTP Broadband Rollout in 2023 UPDATE

Rural focused UK ISP Quickline, which is deploying a mix of Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) broadband networks, has today announced that their rollout will expand speeds of up to 1Gbps to “more than 55,000 rural homes and businesses” in 96 places across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire in 2023.

The FTTP side of their network build is currently still in the early ramping-up phase of deployment, but despite that they’ve already managed to reach more 10,000 premises across over 20 rural communities in the space of just 8-months. This is being supported by an investment of £500m from Northleaf Capital Partners, which acquired the company in 2021.

Quickline previously stated that this funding would be used to fuel their future ambition to cover 500,000 UK premises in rural and semi-rural areas with “ultrafast broadband” via a mix of FTTP and 5G based FWA (wireless) infrastructure “by 2025” (here), although until recently we didn’t know much about the FTTP specific side of that plan.

The good news is that the operator has today revealed their complete rollout plan for 2023, which lists 96 locations (see further below) where their new full fibre network will start reaching over the coming year – reflecting some 55,000 premises in the same window of time.

Lee Allison, Chief Operating Officer at Quickline, said:

“Building on the momentum from last year, 2023 is going to be even bigger and better for Quickline and the communities we serve.

Rural communities have been crying out for fast, reliable broadband for far too long. Our mission is to provide that and to close the digital divide between urban and rural areas.

If your community is on our 2023 rollout plan, it means full fibre broadband is on its way to you soon. Keep an eye out for our engineers, who will be out and about connecting homes and businesses, and register your interest on our website to be notified when fibre broadband is available to you.”

Residential customers covered by their FTTP network are usually charged from £29 per month on a 24-month term for 100Mbps (50Mbps upload) speeds with free installation, and that goes up to £49 for their top 900Mbps (450Mbps upload) tier. But Quickline are also giving their customers some peace of mind with a commitment that their tariffs will remain unchanged for 24-months.

Naturally, they’re bound to face competition from other gigabit-capable broadband rivals in some of the areas they’re targeting, thus much will depend upon their ability to maintain a strong pace of build and raise awareness of their presence in the locations they’re targeting. Quickline’s pricing is already quite competitive, so they should be good on that front, for now.

The announcement also noted that Quickline had separately already “passed 300,000 premises with its existing next-generation fixed wireless broadband network“.
