More than 2,000 rural homes and businesses in North Yorkshire now have access to gigabit-capable broadband through progress on Quickline’s Project Gigabit contract.
Quickline was awarded the North Yorkshire lot in summer 2024. Since the build got underway in December, the first official delivery target has already been exceeded by more than double.
Under the terms of the government contract, Quickline was required to connect 866 premises by the end of June 2025.
Communities to benefit so far include Minskip and Staveley near Boroughbridge, Muston and Reighton near Filey, and Hutton Rudby near Stokesley.
A further 2,560 properties in the contract area covering North Yorkshire have been reached through Quickline’s associated commercial build.
Dan Hague, Project Gigabit Delivery Director at Quickline, said: “North Yorkshire is a large, predominantly rural area and many of the communities we’re connecting are among the worst-served in the UK. The terrain presents unique engineering challenges, but our team is making fantastic progress.”
