Over 98% of Gloucestershire homes and businesses can now access a superfast broadband connection, through one of the first types of UK projects of its kind that started in 2012 to increase superfast coverage in the county.

Quickline Communications has been commended for its use of PIA infrastructure, being awarded Path to Collaboration status by Openreach.
This enables the altnet to benefit from a simpler approval process when using Openreach products.
COO Lee Allison said: “Our relationship with Openreach is very important to us and this recognition from them is a major milestone for Quickline, supporting our goal to accelerate our full fibre build plans across rural Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.”
