More than 10,000 government-funded rural premises have been addressed by Quickline through its work on two Project Gigabit contracts; West Yorkshire and the York area (Lot 8) and South Yorkshire (Lot 20).
Each contract includes phased delivery targets. By the end of March 2025, Quickline was required to connect 6,273 funded premises in West Yorkshire and the York area. This target was surpassed, with 6,426 homes and businesses connected, including premises in communities such as Harden, near Bingley and Bradshaw, near Thornton.
In South Yorkshire, the first milestone target of 3,621 addresses isn’t due until the end of June, but as of 31st March, Quickline has achieved this number. Communities addressed include Barnby Dun, near Doncaster, Ealand, Keadby, and Todwick.
When including the addresses Quickline has reached as part of its commercial build across rural West and South Yorkshire, more than 30,000 addresses now have gigabit-capable connectivity.
Dan Hague, Project Gigabit Delivery Director at Quickline, said: “We’re still in the early stages of our Project Gigabit contracts and have a long way to go, and we remain focused on staying on track and delivering the broadband connectivity that rural communities across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire need and deserve.”
