Alternative network operator and rural ISP Quickline has announced that their new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network has just gone live in three more West Yorkshire (England) villages, including Southowram, Clifton and Holywell Green.

The local deployment means that almost 3,000 homes and businesses across these three villages can now place an order for Quickline’s full fibre service. Further premises across the Calderdale district are expected to benefit from this as the roll-out expands. Check out the operator’s 3-year roll-out plan for more details.

NOTE: Quickline is supported by around £300m of public subsidy across four Project Gigabit contracts (here, here and here), a private investment of £500m from Northleaf Capital Partners, plus c.£225m in term loans and debt guarantees from the National Wealth Fund (NWF) and a £25m term loan from NatWest.

The provider initially aims to cover 200,000 UK premises with their full fibre lines by the end of 2025 (up from 65,000 premises in Nov 2023), before rising to over 400k by 2028. This includes both their commercial builds and the aforementioned deployments under the government’s £5bn (state aid) Project Gigabit broadband programme.

Residential customers reached by their new full fibre network are typically charged from £22 per month on a 24-month term for 100Mbps (50Mbps upload) speeds with free installation, which goes up to £49 for their top 1000Mbps symmetric speed tier (you also get the first 8 months of service for free on their top tier).
