Quickline FTTP Broadband Goes Live in 3 North Lincolnshire Villages

Alternative network ISP Quickline, which is rolling out their gigabit speed full fibre (FTTP) broadband infrastructure to 96 rural locations (55,000 premises) across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire in England, has today announced that their service has started to go live across Tetney, Kirton and Barnetby le Wold in North Lincolnshire.

Almost 4,500 households across Tetney, in East Lindsey; Kirton, near Boston; and Barnetby le Wold, close to Brigg, can now be connected to Quickline’s new Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network. Customers in these areas are usually charged from £29 per month on a 24-month term for 100Mbps (50Mbps upload) speeds with free installation, which goes up to £49 for their top 900Mbps (450Mbps upload) tier.

The provider, fuelled by £500m from Northleaf Capital Partners (acquired Quickline in 2021), has previously stated that they hold an aspiration to cover 500,000 premises in UK rural and semi-rural areas with “ultrafast broadband” via both Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP / XGS-PON) and 5G based fixed wireless infrastructure “by 2025” (here).

Quickline claims to have already covered 300,000 premises via their wireless network, while their much more recent full fibre deployment has covered 10,000 premises across over 20 rural communities (Dec 2022). But they’re next working to reach another 96 rural locations (55,000 premises) via FTTP across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire in England (deployment plan).

Julian Chalk, Head of Network Enablement and Engagement, said:

“Our fibre service is a game-changer for communities which have endured slow, inconsistent broadband for too long. When some providers talk about fibre, that actually means fibre is connected to a cabinet in your local area, but then outdated copper cables carry it to your home or business. That severely impacts the broadband speeds and reliability you receive.

Our full fibre broadband comes all the way to your door, so you can enjoy greater reliability and higher speeds. With Quickline, you get the full experience.”

It’s worth noting that the ISP are also offering new customers a “zero cost, zero conditions broadband deal“, which essentially means they’ll get 3 months (90 days) of service for free, with “no requirement to sign up to a contract” (a kind of try before you buy style model).
