Quickline review: prices, speeds and coverage
Quickline is one of the UK's alternative networks, an independent full fibre operator that built its own infrastructure rather than renting Openreach lines. Rural Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, using a mix of full fibre and fixed wireless to reach communities the national networks bypassed.

How fast is Quickline, really?
Full fibre delivers its advertised speed regardless of your distance from the exchange, unlike the copper-based products it replaces. See FTTP vs FTTC vs cable for what the labels mean.
Price rises: what actually happens
None. Quickline commits to no mid-contract price rises for the length of the term, and offers up to £300 of switching credit to help cover an existing exit fee.

Score and review count taken from Trustpilot on 10 August 2026 and subject to change. The summaries above are our own reading of recurring themes across recent reviews, not quotations. We have no control over the reviews themselves and do not moderate them.
Who owns Quickline, and is it stable?
Majority owned by infrastructure investor Northleaf Capital Partners since 2021, with a remit to close the rural digital divide, and delivering several publicly funded Project Gigabit contracts across the North of England.
We flag this because it matters: the altnet sector is consolidating hard, and knowing who actually owns your provider is reasonable due diligence. Our guide on whether altnets are safe to switch to explains what protections you have either way.
Checking availability
Altnet coverage is decided street by street, not town by town, so two houses on one road can have different options. If Quickline covers you, their own site is the place to order. If you want to know what we can price and check at your address right now, use the checker below.
Quickline: frequently asked questions
Will Quickline put the price up during my contract?
No. Quickline commits to no mid-contract price rises, so the monthly figure you agree at sign-up holds for the whole term. That is a meaningful difference from providers applying a fixed increase every April, and worth counting when you compare the cost across two years rather than the first month.
Is Quickline full fibre or fixed wireless?
Both, depending on the address. Quickline builds full fibre where it can and uses fixed wireless to reach properties where digging is impractical, which is how it serves genuinely remote rural sites. Which one you would get depends on your exact location, so it is worth asking before you order.
Does Quickline help cover the cost of leaving my current provider?
It advertises up to £300 of switching credit towards an existing contract exit fee. That is a real saving if you are stuck mid-term elsewhere, though the amount you get depends on what you are actually charged to leave, so check the terms against your own exit fee rather than assuming the maximum.
What contract length does Quickline sell?
A 24-month term is the only length offered, so there is no shorter option or rolling monthly deal. Paired with the no-rises commitment that gives a genuinely predictable two-year cost, but it does mean committing for the full period.
