Quickline secured contracts exceeding £300 million to upgrade connections across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, providing gigabit-capable broadband to up to 25,000 rural premises in East Yorkshire. In a separate initiative, Quickline made gigabit broadband available to approximately 8,500 premises in East Yorkshire, largely through an £118 million Project Gigabit contract awarded in July 2024. This contract aimed to deliver gigabit broadband to 72,000 hard-to-reach homes and businesses across Lincolnshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire. Quickline also rolled out gigabit-capable broadband to thousands of homes and businesses in the East Riding of Yorkshire under this Project Gigabit programme. A North Yorkshire contract, awarded in summer 2024, provided gigabit-capable broadband to over 2,000 rural homes and businesses. Network construction for this contract began in December 2024, with Quickline exceeding initial delivery targets.
