York-based operator UK Fibre Networks has rebranded Fastr Broadband as it continues to roll out its network to 8,000 homes and businesses in its native city centre.
Quickline Communications has held a series of community activities to mark its rollouts in East Halton, North Killingholme and South Killingholme.
A prize-winning balloon drop was hosted in each location with three months of free broadband for the winners.
The altnet also held a pizza party at the Ashbourne Hotel, in North Killingholme, for residents. Food was served by a mobile fish and chip van in East Halton and South Killingholme, with residents claiming vouchers from Quickline’s social media channels.
It also sponsored a quiz night at the Black Bull pub in East Halton, providing prizes and a free drink for every participant.
Julian Chalk, Head of Enablement and Engagement, said: “So many people from all three villages joined in with our community activities and we received great feedback from residents who’ve been crying out for better broadband after being neglected by other providers in the past and we’re proud to be able to meet their needs.”
