Quickline UK Bring FTTP Broadband to 4 New North Yorkshire Villages

UK ISP Quickline, which is deploying a gigabit-capable full fibre (FTTP) broadband network across parts of England, has today announced that they’ve just gone live across four more villages in Rural North Yorkshire – Babthorpe and Hemingbrough, near Selby, and Killinghall and Ripley, near Harrogate (total of almost 2,000 premises).

Among the premises in the North Yorkshire locations being announced today are some – equating to around 120 of the almost 2,000 premises – that have been delivered under phase 4 of the £12m Superfast North Yorkshire (SFNY) contract (details).

Residential customers reached by their new full fibre network are typically 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. The first 3 months of service are also free.

The operator, supported by funding of around £500m from Northleaf Capital Partners, holds an aspiration to cover 500,000 premises in rural and semi-rural areas across North East England with “ultrafast broadband” via both FTTP and their 5G based fixed wireless technology “by 2025” (here). Some 300,000 of that figure are already being reached by their wireless network.
