'Strong momentum' for Quickline as it rolls out broadband in rural Yorkshire
Yorkshire-based internet provider Quickline said it had entered 2026 with “strong momentum”, following confirmation of significant delivery progress across all four of its Government-backed Project Gigabit contracts.
The project is a programme to deliver gigabit-capable broadband to homes and businesses that would otherwise be left behind by commercial rollouts.
Quickline built to 36,650 premises during 2025, representing 30 per cent of the total 121,210 premises contracted across its four contracts. The firm said it had since reached more than 40,000 premises.
Dan Hague, Project Gigabit delivery director at Quickline, said: “Delivering more than 36,000 Project Gigabit connections during 2025 – and passing 40,000 early in 2026 – is a huge achievement for our teams and a clear demonstration of the pace, capability and commitment we bring to these contracts.
“Each programme brings its own challenges, but across all four we’re seeing strong momentum, milestone delivery and, most importantly, real impact for rural communities that have waited far too long for reliable broadband.
“We’re proud of what’s been achieved so far and are firmly focused on maintaining this pace as we continue to deliver through 2026.”
Quickline said it has connected 7,150 premises in South Yorkshire and 6,660 premises in North Yorkshire.
In West Yorkshire, the firm has connected 12,610 premises, while East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire saw 13,270 connected.
Quickline said that North Yorkshire had already “exceeded expectations”, achieving its March 2026 interim milestone early in January.
The firm’s South Yorkshire contract is now almost two-thirds of the way through its delivery period.
