Rural UK ISP Quickline, which is building a new gigabit-capable full fibre (FTTP) and fixed wireless (FWA) network across parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire in England (3-Year Rollout Plan), has revealed that a further 7 communities in East Yorkshire (England) have now been connected as part of their associated Project Gigabit contract.
Just to recap. The provider holds several contracts under the Government’s £5bn Project Gigabit scheme, including the £118.9m (public subsidy) one for the East Riding of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire (Lot 23), which was announced back in July 2024 and originally aimed to reach around 72,000 additional premises over the next few years (officially the contracted figure is currently 47,800).
According to the latest data from the Government’s Building Digital UK (BDUK) agency (here), Quickline has so far covered 13,270 premises under this contract. The latest seven locations to go live on the new network include Langtoft, Rudston, Kilham, Cherry Burton, Etton, Catwick and Tickton – reflecting about 2,000 premises (note: two thirds of that is via Project Gigabit and the rest are part of Quickline’s commercial build).
Lauren Robson, Quickline, said:
“Some of these communities are small, quite isolated and have been waiting a long time for decent connectivity. We’re incredibly proud to be involved in delivering a network that is making a real difference to the lives of people who live and work here.”
Quickline currently aims to extend gigabit-capable broadband to a further 360,000 UK premises across thousands of rural communities (roughly 170k via publicly funded projects and almost 200k from commercial builds). The provider recently reported that they ended 2025 with 200,000 premises passed via full fibre (plus 200k more via wireless).
Customers of the service currently pay from just £24.99 per month on a 24-month minimum term for symmetric speeds of 200Mbps, which rises to £32.99 for 1000Mbps (1Gbps). New subscribers can also benefit from up to £300 of switching credit, which helps to cover early termination chargers if you choose to leave your old provider while still within contract.
