Quickline’s fibre network is now live for thousands of residents and businesses in villages across the Isle of Axholme in north Lincolnshire.
The network went live in the village of Westwoodside in January following the lighting up of Belton at the end of last year.
Work is now complete across the additional areas of Beltoft, West Butterwick, Althorpe and Derrythorpe, totalling more than 2,500 properties.
And, as part of the government funded Project Gigabit contract recently awarded to Quickline, communities including Crowle, East Lound, Graizelound, Owston Ferry and Wroot are also set to be connected to gigabit-capable, full fibre.
Chris Akrill, Head of FTTP Operations at Quickline, said: “Rural communities have been struggling with poor connectivity for a long time, with slow and unreliable broadband being a daily challenge.
“At Quickline our focus is on closing the digital divide between urban and rural areas and connecting those hard-to-reach communities.”
