A recent survey from bOnline has shown that many SMEs are unsure about the availability of altnet in their area, with confusion over the UK’s broadband roll-out strategy.
Dragonby, a hamlet in North Lincolnshire, has become the first community to be connected by Quickline’s new in-house Build Team.
The infrastructure team is responsible for building the fibre networks that connect villages and hamlets to Quickline’s broadband.
Lee Jackson, Quickline Build Team Manager, said: “Having an in-house Build Team is crucial to ensure we have the resources and the capability to meet our ambitious full fibre rollout targets.
“We are able to accelerate our rollout in rural communities without being reliant on others, which sets us apart from many internet providers.”
Quickline aims to bring fibre broadband to more than 55,000 homes and businesses in 2023.
Quickline CEO Sean Royce said: “Having a fast, reliable broadband service is essential for staying in touch with family and friends, home entertainment, online shopping and so much more.”
