Rural-focused ISP Quickline, which is deploying their own gigabit-capable full fibre (FTTP) and fixed wireless access (FWA) broadband networks across rural parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire in England, this week said they were “proud to say our customers don’t have to worry about unfair [price hikes]” after continuing their price freeze.
The announcement, which was celebrated by the handing out of free ice cream in several of their recently covered communities (Isle of Axholme, Belton and Westwoodside), means that Quickline has once again frozen their prices for all 24-month contracts (no mid-contract hikes).
A total of 400 ice creams were handed out to residents in rural Lincolnshire during the PR stunt. James McAra of Quickline said: “Unlike other providers, we’re committed to keeping our prices the same for our customers for the full duration of their contract. We thought it would be a really nice way to celebrate this by handing out free ice creams, especially with a bit of sun shining.”

I hope this team continues around Eastern Lincolnshire, they’re rolling out to North Cotes by December. Very close to places like Tetney and Holton-Le-Clay, the latter is a reasonably sized area with no fttp or even fttc and only Virgin as the overpriced fast offer. If they move fast to those two places it can beat the battle with Grain and MS3 who are cabling nearby Grimsby, and from firsthand experience of Quickline I’m certain those residents will be delighted compared to the other altnets.
