Quickline has secured £11 million in public funding to expand its Project Gigabit rollout, bringing full fibre broadband to 6,000 more homes and businesses in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. This investment supports the UK government’s goal of nationwide high-speed internet, ensuring even rural areas gain access.
Quickline’s launch of a telecoms apprenticeship program is revolutionizing rural broadband through skills development. The initial cohort of apprentices enrich Quickline’s operations, gaining practical experience and enhancing gigabit broadband delivery in rural Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
Quickline, the UK broadband operator, has successfully connected the initial homes to its Project Gigabit-funded full fibre network in Yorkshire, achieving this milestone less than three months after securing the contract. This achievement, although modest in scale, signifies a promising acceleration in the UK government’s fibre broadband initiative.
