Quickline expands full fibre broadband to more South Yorkshire villages

Homes and businesses in Barnby Dun and Hatfield Woodhouse, north of Doncaster, now have access to gigabit-capable broadband and can order their new service from Quickline.

Almost 1,700 premises can today (24 February 2025) connect to gigabit-capable broadband with the remaining address located across the two villages set to benefit in the coming weeks as the rollout continues under the UK government's Project Gigabit.

Project Gigabit is a government-funded programme to enable hard-to-reach communities to access lightning-fast gigabit-capable broadband. It targets homes and businesses that are not included in any commercial plans of broadband suppliers, reaching parts of the UK that might otherwise miss out on upgrades to next-generation speeds.

Julian Chalk, Head of Network Engagement and Enablement at Quickline, said: “We’re proud to be delivering gigabit capable broadband to rural communities across South Yorkshire through Project Gigabit. Our mission is to connect communities like Barnby Dun and Hatfield Woodhouse to a world of possibilities and to do it promptly, making a real difference to the people who live and work here.

“Reliable broadband is essential to carry out everyday tasks in modern life and we’re committed to helping our customers to thrive in the digital age.”

Homes and businesses in Barnby Dun and Hatfield Woodhouse can book their installation now to experience Quickline’s high speed connectivity and start benefiting from lightning-fast broadband.

Quickline Communications have also donated tablets and Chromebooks to support digital skills training across South Yorkshire, helping jobseekers and economically inactive parents gain employment.

The devices are being used in initiatives such as a digital skills course for parents, where participants receive a tablet upon completion to help them apply for jobs.

Young jobseekers at the Doncaster Youth Hub are also benefiting from Quickline’s Chromebook donation, supporting them with interview preparation, job searching, budgeting, and more.

Quickline’s support of these digital inclusion schemes is part of the broadband provider’s social value commitment within their Project Gigabit contract, which will deliver full fibre broadband to 32,000 hard-to-reach homes and businesses across South Yorkshire.
