Quickline UK Expand FTTP Broadband to 3 New North Yorkshire Villages

Broadband ISP Quickline, which is building a new gigabit-capable full fibre (FTTP) and fixed wireless (5G FWA) network across rural and semi-rural parts of the North East and Midlands of England, has confirmed that a further three villages across North Yorkshire have now been connected to their network.

The latest additions include Brearton, Scotton, and Riccall in North Yorkshire. The new fibre across this area is understood to have reached some 1,600 premises (homes and businesses). Residential customers will typically pay from £29 per month on a 24-month term for 200Mbps 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.

Quickline is being supported by funding of c.£500m from Northleaf Capital Partners and c.£177m of public subsidy from Project Gigabit (here, here and here). The provider holds an aspiration to cove around 500,000 premises in rural and semi-rural areas across Northern England and beyond with “ultrafast broadband” – via both FTTP and wireless technologies – “by 2025” (here). Some 200,000 of those rural premises will be tackled by their wireless network, with the other half or more coming from FTTP.

Credits to Thinkbroadband for spotting this one, which also notes that Openreach’s full fibre is also available to some of the homes in these communities.
