Quickline has rolled out its gigabit-capable broadband to thousands of homes and businesses in remote villages and hamlets across the East Riding of Yorkshire.<\/p>\n
Quickline was awarded more than \u00a3118 million by the UK government under its Project Gigabit programme in July 2024 to provide around 72,000 hard-to-reach premises in the East Riding and Lincolnshire with access to gigabit-capable broadband.<\/p>\n
Quickline has now delivered gigabit-capable broadband to around 8,500 homes and businesses across the East Riding, with a portion enabled through Project Gigabit funding.<\/p>\n
In the North Cave area, to the west of Hull, more than 800 homes now have gigabit-capable connectivity, with Broomfleet, Ellerker, Newport and Hotham all live, along with parts of North Cave itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In Holme-Upon-Spalding-Moor, more than 1,100 homes and businesses can now connect to Quickline\u2019s full fibre network and another 600 addresses are being served in Patrington.<\/p>\n
Earlier this summer, Gilberdyke, west of North Cave, went live, giving more than 1,350 homes and businesses access to gigabit speeds. The hamlet of Newport also benefited, with more than 700 addresses able to get connected and the rollout to the remaining 10 per cent of the village due soon.<\/p>\n
Alongside the build, East Yorkshire-based Quickline has been engaging with local communities including with a Tech Explorer workshop for young people to help them make the most out of their home broadband.<\/p>\n
Quickline\u2019s Social Values Team has also visited Newport Primary School to deliver bespoke digital skills workshops to pupils, improving online safety awareness among pupils.<\/p>\n
Lauren Robson, project manager at Quickline, who oversees the Project Gigabit rollout across the East Riding and Lincolnshire, said,<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to see such strong progress across the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSome truly rural communities are now receiving service thanks to the Project Gigabit contract being delivered by Quickline, and it\u2019s making a real difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOur outreach activity in these communities is a hugely important part of our mission, ensuring we not only provide the means for decent connectivity, we also help to educate and inform at the same time by engaging with different groups and organisations.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur aim is simple \u2013 to lift people out of digital poverty by giving them the connectivity they deserve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m proud to be part of that, alongside the wider Quickline team.\u201d<\/p>\n
