Alternative network operator and ISP Quickline, which is deploying gigabit-capable broadband networks (FTTP and wireless) across rural and semi-rural parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire (England), has today become the latest provider to launch some big Black Friday discounts on their packages and Amazon vouchers worth up to £1,000.
Building on their current half price for 12 months offer to new customers taking any of their packages, for the Black Friday weekend (until 11:59pm on Monday 2nd December) Quickline says they’re also giving away Amazon vouchers to all new customers with the value of the voucher ranging from £30 to £1,000. The size of voucher you receive will be decided by a prize draw – outcome to be revealed on 3rd December.
Packages start at £14.50 per month (£29 after 12-months) for a 200Mbps symmetric speed broadband service with a free router and installation, which goes up to £24.50 per month (£49) for their top 1000Mbps tier. The provider also promises “no in-contract price hikes” and 24/7 tech support 365 days a year.
Ben O’Leary, Head of Product and Proposition at Quickline, said:
“We’re passionate about bringing cutting-edge technology and reliable internet to rural communities that have been left behind for far too long. Our Black Friday deal is not just about great savings, but also spreading a little extra cheer with our Amazon voucher giveaway. It’s the perfect time to make the switch to faster, more reliable broadband – just in time for Christmas.”
The provider’s original ambition was to cover around 500,000 premises in rural and semi-rural areas across Northern England and beyond with “ultrafast broadband” – via both FTTP and FWA technologies – “by 2025” (here). Some 200,000 of those rural premises were due to be tackled by their wireless network, with the rest coming from FTTP.
However, since then they’ve secured several state-aid funded Project Gigabit contracts, which will bring full fibre broadband with public funding to almost 170,000 premises in mostly rural areas, which rises to 360,000 when you include the provider’s complementary commercial build.
