Quickline Connect 10,980 North Yorks Premises to Subsidised Gigabit Broadband
UK ISP Quickline has announced that they’ve covered “almost” 11,000 premises across North Yorkshire (England) via their gigabit-speed full fibre (FTTP) broadband network, which has occurred two months ahead of schedule as part of their £70m+ publicly subsidised contract under the government’s Project Gigabit scheme.
The North Yorkshire (Lot 31 – £73.5m) contract was first signed back in mid-2024 and originally contracted the operator to expand their existing fibre network in the county to cover a further 36,300 premises in hard-to-reach rural areas. According to the latest June 2026 data from the Building Digital UK (BDUK) agency, Quickline is currently contracted to reach 34,490 premises (it’s been modified a little since the original award).
Quickline has now reached almost 55,000 subsidised Project Gigabit premises across its four contracts, alongside significant additional commercial deployment throughout Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. But sadly the latest update doesn’t summarise their current build locations.

Imran Amir, Quickline’s Local Project Manager, said:
“Reaching 10,000 funded premises in North Yorkshire ahead of schedule is a fantastic achievement and reflects the incredible work of our teams and build partners.
North Yorkshire is a vast and complex area to build across, so hitting this milestone early demonstrates both the strength of our delivery model and our commitment to ensuring rural communities are not left behind digitally.
Fast, reliable broadband has become essential infrastructure for homes, businesses and communities, and we’re proud to be helping transform connectivity across the region.”
At the end of 2025 Quickline’s full fibre broadband network covered 200,000 premises (excluding fixed wireless coverage, which also covers c.200,000 premises – not all gigabit-capable) – mostly across rural parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. The operator currently aims to extend gigabit-capable broadband to a further 360,000 UK premises.
