Quickline broadband deals: every price, including the rolling one

What does Quickline cost right now?

Direct answer: From £24.99 a month for 200 Mbps symmetrical fibre to £59.99 for 2300 Mbps, on a 24-month contract with £0 to set up, unlimited data and a router included. Quickline sells four fibre packages and every one of them is symmetrical, so the upload speed matches the download speed. The price is fixed for the whole term and then reverts to a rolling rate of £33 to £77.

This table has three price columns because Quickline's own documents contain three different prices for every package, and almost every write-up quotes only the first. What you pay on the current promotion, what the same package costs at the standard 24-month rate with no promotion, and what it becomes on a rolling contract, which is also what your bill becomes the day your minimum term ends. The first column was read from Quickline's own ordering system at a served address on 18 September 2026; the last two come from its Residential Standard Charges policy issued 27 April 2026.

For the arithmetic on any provider, our price and contract checker works out the real cost of a deal over its term, our hand-checked deals table carries every figure with the date it was verified, and out-of-contract prices covers what happens at the end of the term across the market.

Why can you not read Quickline’s prices?

Direct answer: Because Quickline prints them inside images. Quickline's prices are pictures. Each package card on its own home broadband page is a PNG with the price, the contract length and both speeds painted inside it, and a screen reader, a search engine and an assistant all get the speed at best and "Banner Image" at worst. The only money written as readable text on its public home broadband page is "Less than 83p a day", "2.5x the speed for +£1 a week", "Gigabit speed for +£4" and "Less than £2 a day".

We went looking for Quickline's price list the way anybody would, by opening its home broadband page, and found four package cards with no price on them in any form a machine can read. The card that sells 200 Mbps carries one phrase, Less than 83p a day, and nothing else. The price itself, the contract length and both speeds are painted inside a PNG, and the image's alt text carries only the download speed, so the alt text on the £24.99 card reads "200Mbps Fibre Broadband".

Then we ran the order journey. A postcode, a real address, and Quickline produced its four packages with the prices shown, which is where the figures in the table above come from. Those prices are images too, and in the order journey the alt text is worse: "Banner Image". So a customer using a screen reader can get as far as choosing between four packages and be told, four times, that they are looking at a banner image.

Three things follow from this, and they are worth separating. The first is accessibility, and it is the serious one: an image of text is the textbook example of what assistive technology cannot read, and this is an image of text in a purchase journey. The second is commercial and falls on Quickline itself: a price no search engine and no assistant can read is a price that does not appear in answers, which is a large part of why so much of the market quotes Quickline's prices second-hand or not at all. The third falls on you. Do not judge Quickline on the slogan, because a price per day is designed to be compared with nothing; the number you actually need is the monthly one, next to the rolling price below.

None of this looks deliberate. Quickline publishes its standard and rolling prices as plain text in its own charges policy, which is more than several providers on this site do, and the images are almost certainly a design decision nobody revisited. Its Residential Standard Charges policy is properly dated, plainly written and more complete than several providers manage, and the whole second half of this page is built on it. Until somebody puts the four numbers into the HTML, the table above is the price list, and we will keep it current.

If you rely on a screen reader, our guide to broadband rights for disabled customers covers what providers must do and what to ask for, and our own comparison renders every price as text.

What happens when the 24 months end?

Direct answer: Your price goes up, by between 28.4% and 66.7% depending on the package. Quickline's terms say after the minimum period the services continue on a rolling basis and the charges revert to Quickline's then-current standard rates, as published in its Standard Charges Policy, and those rates are £33, £44, £55 and £77. On Full Fibre 1000 that is £22.01 a month more than you were paying the day before.

Follow the gigabit package through, because it carries the biggest step in both pounds and percentage terms. You sign at £32.99 a month and that is what you pay for all 24 months, with no April increase and no mid-contract change of any kind. Over the term that comes to £791.76. On the first day of month twenty-five the price becomes £55, which is £22.01 a month more, and a year of leaving it there costs £660.

Two things make this fairer than the same section on several other provider pages on this site, and they are worth saying before the criticism. Quickline publishes the rolling rates as plain text in a dated document anybody can read, and a good many altnets do not. And Quickline undertakes in the same clause to tell you about a month before the minimum period ends, which is a contractual promise rather than a courtesy. Between the two, a customer who reads their email has everything they need.

What is missing is the same thing that is missing everywhere: the number is nowhere near the point of sale. You will not meet £55 while you are choosing a package, and you will not meet it in the basket. You meet it in a policy document reached from the footer, or on your bill. So the practical advice is the same as it is for every provider that does this: put the end of the minimum term in your calendar on the day you order, set the reminder a month early, and run your postcode again then.

Turned round the other way, those same two columns say what the commitment is worth. Committing to the term rather than paying the rolling rate saves £192.24 on 200 Mbps, £360.24 on 500 Mbps, £528.24 on 1000 Mbps and £408.24 on 2300 Mbps across 24 months. That is a real discount for a real commitment, and it is a fair trade. The thing to remember is only that the discount ends when the commitment does.

It is worth being clear about who actually pays this, because it is not everybody. A household that rings Quickline at the end of the term and asks for a new deal will usually be offered one. A household that switches pays whatever the new provider charges. The person who pays £55 is the one who does nothing, and Ofcom's whole body of work on out-of-contract customers exists because that is a very large group.

Our guide to out-of-contract broadband prices explains what every provider charges once the term ends and how to negotiate it down, the price and contract checker works out the real cost of a deal across its term, and how to switch broadband covers the move itself, which now takes one request.

The price freeze, which is real

Direct answer: It holds. Quickline's claim is no mid-contract price rises, and the terms behind it say the price you sign up to is the price you pay for the whole minimum term, with no mid-contract increase of any kind. That is a genuinely better deal than the CPI-plus-3.9% and fixed-pounds increases most of the market applies, and it is the strongest thing on Quickline's price list.

We check this claim on every provider that makes it, because it is the single most commonly overstated promise in UK broadband, and on Quickline it stands up. There is no annual increase clause, no CPI-linked adjustment and no fixed pounds-and-pence rise written into the residential terms dated 28 August 2026. What you sign is what you pay for all 24 months.

Put that next to the alternative. A provider adding a fixed £4 each April to a 24-month contract applies two increases inside the term, so the advertised price is never the price you average. A provider on a CPI-linked formula does not even tell you the figure when you sign. Quickline does neither, and on 200 Mbps that means £599.76 across the term is not an estimate but an arithmetic certainty.

Two honest qualifications. The freeze covers the recurring charge, not the one-off charges, so a missed engineer appointment still costs £75 and a late payment £5. And the freeze stops at the end of the minimum term, which is the whole point of the section above: holding a price for 24 months and then raising it 66.7% is still a rise; it just happens at a moment when you are free to leave, which is the difference that matters and is in Quickline's favour.

One more clause worth knowing: the promotional prices are for new customers only, and you are excluded if anyone in your household has been a Quickline customer in the previous twelve months. That is standard across the market and it is the reason the end of your term matters: you cannot simply re-sign at the new-customer price, so the comparison you run at month twenty-three should include everybody, not only Quickline.

Our guide to in-contract price rises lists what every provider adds and when, price rises by provider tracks the announcements, and which providers actually hold their price explains how to tell a real freeze from a marketing one.

Fibre or 5G: your address decides

Direct answer: Quickline sells both, and an address gets one or the other, never a choice between them: the checker returns the fibre list or the wireless list according to what is built to the property. Fibre is the better product by a distance: 200 Mbps symmetrical at £24.99 with £0 to set up, against 100 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up at £39.99 with £49.99 to set up. Quickline treats the wireless product as a fallback for homes the fibre has not reached, not an alternative to it.

This matters more than it sounds, because the two products are priced as though they were the other way round. £39.99 buys you 100 Mbps over 5G. £24.99 buys you 200 Mbps over fibre, in both directions, with no installation charge. Over a 24-month contract, setup included, the wireless product costs £409.99 more than the fibre one for half the download and a twentieth of the upload.

That is not a criticism of the pricing so much as an explanation of it. Fixed wireless costs Quickline more to deliver per customer than fibre does, it is sold where fibre does not reach, and it is not competing with the fibre price because no household gets to choose between them. Quickline still actively sells fixed wireless and promises existing wireless customers priority for a fibre install when the fibre reaches them, which is the right thing to do and worth saying.

Two practical consequences. If the checker offers you 200 Mbps wireless at £49.99, note that the same download speed on fibre would be £24.99, and that the gap over a contract is £649.99: that is the price of living where the fibre has not arrived, and it is worth knowing before you sign rather than after. And the speed promise is weaker on wireless than on fibre, which the next section but one sets out.

Our guide to fixed wireless against fibre compares the two technologies on latency, contention and reliability, rural broadband covers the options where fibre has not arrived, and full fibre deals lists every FTTP option at your postcode.

What is included, and what leaving costs

Direct answer: Included: £0 to set up on a promotion, a free Wi-Fi 6 router on every package, fibre and wireless alike, and unlimited data, with no traffic management policy published. Leaving early is charged on a published formula: everything still owed for the rest of the minimum term, less VAT, less the costs Quickline avoids by no longer serving you, less a 4% monthly discount for early payment, with VAT added back. On top of that, there is no early termination charge at all on the social tariff or on a rolling monthly contract, and Quickline says so in the policy itself.

Unreturned equipment is charged at the recommended retail price rather than a fixed penalty, which is a fairer basis than most providers use. The one to watch is the visit charge, because £75 applies to a missed appointment as well as to an engineer call-out, and Quickline is not in the scheme that would pay you for missing one of its own. That asymmetry is covered further down.

Our guide to leaving a contract early explains what a provider may lawfully charge and how to challenge a figure, router return charges covers what happens if you keep the kit, and 24-month deals covers the longer contracts across the market.

The 75% floor, and the exit it comes with

Direct answer: On fibre, the speed between the internet and your Quickline router will not drop below 75% of the speed you signed up for, and will average the full speed over 24 hours. On fixed wireless, the floor is 50% rather than 75%, with a 24-hour average of at least 75% rather than the full speed. And if speeds consistently fall below the minimums in the Network Standards Policy you can end the agreement in writing with no early termination charge.

Most providers answer the speed question with a guaranteed minimum they will compensate you for missing, and the figure is usually set low enough to be safe. Quickline's fibre floor is unusually high: the speed between the internet and your Quickline router will not drop below 75% of the speed you signed up for, and will average the full speed over 24 hours. Read that twice, because the second half is the part that matters. A floor of 75% with a 24-hour average of the full speed is a stronger commitment than a minimum guaranteed access speed set at half the advertised figure, which is what a good deal of this market offers.

The wireless promise is materially weaker and Quickline says so plainly rather than burying it: the floor is 50% rather than 75%, with a 24-hour average of at least 75% rather than the full speed. That is the honest position for a shared radio network, and a customer choosing between Quickline wireless and a competitor should price the difference in rather than assume the two guarantees are the same.

The remedy is the good part: if speeds consistently fall below the minimums in the Network Standards Policy you can end the agreement in writing with no early termination charge. A clean exit is worth more to a household than a few pounds of credit on a bill, because the problem a slow line creates is not financial. Quickline markets this as its service promise, which is the same 75% floor dressed as a marketing line: get the service promised, or leave with no penalty if Quickline cannot fix it within 30 days of you reporting it. If you ever need it, report the fault in writing, keep the date, and ask for the 30-day clock in writing too.

The qualification is the one that runs through this page: Quickline has not signed Ofcom's voluntary Broadband Speeds Code of Practice, so its 75% floor is a contractual promise rather than a code obligation. In practice the contractual exit is the stronger of the two remedies, and the published floor is higher than the code would require, so we would not hold the absence against Quickline. It does mean the promise lives in the contract rather than in a regulator's code, which is worth knowing if you ever have to argue it. Quickline also states that average download speeds are those available to at least 50% of customers at peak time, between 8pm and 10pm, which is the standard Ofcom basis for an advertised speed.

Our guide to speeds lower than advertised sets out what to do when a line underperforms and what your rights are, our speed test measures what you are getting, and what speed you need works out the right package before you order rather than after.

The social tariff, at half its own rolling price

Direct answer: £16.50 a month for 100 Mbps, which is exactly half Quickline's own standard rolling price of £33 for the same speed, and there is no minimum term and no early termination charge on the social tariff, so a household whose circumstances change is not trapped. Offering one at all puts Quickline among a minority of altnets, and pricing it at exactly half its own standard rate for the same speed is a defensible way to set it.

A social tariff is a cheaper package for households on qualifying benefits, and Quickline is one of the providers on Ofcom's published list. The Quickline Social Tariff is £16.50 for 100 Mbps, and the pricing is not arbitrary: Quickline's charges policy prices the same 100 Mbps fibre on a rolling contract at £33, so the social tariff is exactly that figure halved. Very few altnets offer a social tariff at all, and fewer still tie it to a published rate of their own.

The best thing about it is the exit: there is no minimum term and no early termination charge on the social tariff, so a household whose circumstances change is not trapped. That is the single most important feature of a social tariff and a surprising number of providers get it wrong, because a family already under financial strain is exactly the one that cannot afford to be locked in.

Our social tariffs guide lists every social tariff in the UK, what each one asks you to prove and which providers let you leave without a penalty if your circumstances change, and cheapest broadband deals sorts the open market by ongoing price. The cheapest social tariff we have found anywhere is £12.50 a month. Ofcom's own list was last updated on 17 August 2026.

Does Quickline reach your address?

Direct answer: Across North, East, South and West Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, with build reaching into Nottinghamshire and North Lincolnshire under the South Yorkshire contract. The government put the full fibre footprint at 260,000 premises on 6 August 2026, of which 61,240 were built under four Project Gigabit contracts covering Lincolnshire and the East Riding, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire. Availability is property by property, so run the exact postcode rather than the town.

There is a figure on Quickline's own homepage we have chosen not to use, and it is worth explaining why rather than quietly leaving it out. Quickline's homepage says it now serves over half a million homes and, a few sections lower, that it has delivered internet to over 300,000 homes and businesses. Neither figure is dated or defined, and neither reconciles with 260,000 fibre premises plus a wireless network of roughly the same order; the larger of the two looks very like the target its owner set in 2021. We use the government's 260,000 rather than either homepage figure, because it is dated, defined and independently published.

The other figure worth having is take-up, because premises passed is not customers. Quickline publishes no customer count at all. What it does publish is take-up of 15% on its first West Yorkshire contract and up to 20% in some commercial build areas, on its own account, which is a normal number for a rural altnet three years into a build and tells you the network has far more capacity than it has customers. The underlying technology is XGS-PON, which is capable of 10 Gbps and is why a 2.3 Gbps package exists at all.

If Quickline has not reached you, most addresses now have another route: Ofcom's Spring 2026 data puts full fibre availability at 82% of UK premises and gigabit-capable availability at 89%. Our full fibre deals page lists every FTTP option at your postcode, the availability checker shows which networks reach a property, and Leeds, Sheffield and Hull cover the cities nearby.

The build, the money and the owner

Direct answer: Quickline Communications Limited, company number 05034183, incorporated in February 2004 and registered at Albion Mills in Willerby, East Riding of Yorkshire. It is majority owned by Northleaf Capital Partners, the Canadian infrastructure investor, since June 2021, with management, Bigblu Broadband and Harwood Capital retaining minority stakes. Behind the build sit roughly £297 million of contract value on the government's own guidance pages and a £250 million capital raise from the UK Infrastructure Bank, completed in August 2024 to fund the four Project Gigabit contracts, of which the government says £127 million has been invested so far. Its last filed accounts run to 31 December 2024 and were filed on 2 October 2025.

Take the public money first, because it shapes everything else. Quickline holds four Project Gigabit contracts covering Lincolnshire and the East Riding, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire. Together those are roughly £297 million of contract value on the government's own guidance pages, which makes it one of the larger suppliers in the programme and, for a company of its size, an unusually state-shaped balance sheet. The government's own August 2026 release puts the amount actually invested to date at £127 million, a good deal below the contract value, which is what you would expect part way through a multi-year build.

Alongside that sits private money: a £250 million capital raise from the UK Infrastructure Bank, completed in August 2024 to fund the four Project Gigabit contracts. And behind both is the owner. Quickline is majority owned by Northleaf Capital Partners, the Canadian infrastructure investor, since June 2021, with management, Bigblu Broadband and Harwood Capital retaining minority stakes. The stake and the price have never been disclosed, and we would not read anything into that beyond the ordinary practice of private infrastructure funds.

Its last filed accounts run to 31 December 2024 and were filed on 2 October 2025. The accounts for 2025 are due on 30 September 2026, so anyone weighing a 24-month commitment can wait a fortnight and read them. We would rather tell you the filing is imminent than quote a two-year-old figure as though it described the company today. For context on how the company sees itself, Quickline cut its own prices in January 2026, taking the 500 Mbps package from £39 to its current price and the gigabit from £49 to its current one, which is a company competing on price rather than harvesting a captive base. It also won Best Rural Fibre Provider and Community Champion at the UK Fibre Awards 2026, confirmed from the awards organiser rather than from Quickline.

There is one corporate story worth keeping an eye on rather than acting on. Northleaf was reported in May 2026 to have expressed an interest in acquiring KCOM in Hull, which would put Quickline and KCOM under the same owner. The report is single-sourced and unconfirmed. A change of owner would not alter your contract or your price, and we would not tell anybody to avoid a provider over a press report, but it is the sort of thing that shapes a rural network's priorities a year or two later, so it belongs in an honest page rather than out of it.

Our guide to why the fibre boom is consolidating explains what happens to customers when an altnet changes hands, what altnets are covers the sector, and the brsk page is what one of these stories looks like at the end.

Reviews, complaints and compensation

Direct answer: Quickline's Trustpilot profile stood at 4.8 out of 5 from 6,249 reviews on 18 September 2026. It has no published broadband complaints figure, because Ofcom tables only providers with a stable market share of 1.5% or more. The reservation is compensation: Quickline is not in Ofcom's automatic compensation scheme, so there is no automatic payment for a missed appointment, a delayed repair or a delayed install.

A 4.8 out of 5 across more than six thousand reviews is a strong profile on a base large enough to mean something, with 89% at five stars. Two qualifications keep it in proportion. Trustpilot records that Quickline invites its customers to review, which lifts a score relative to providers whose reviews arrive unprompted. And 6% of those reviews are one-star, which is the tail a headline figure hides and is worth reading before you order. In Quickline's favour, it has replied to 100% of its negative reviews, typically within 48 hours.

On compensation the position is the common one among altnets and it is not in Quickline's favour: Quickline is not in Ofcom's automatic compensation scheme, so there is no automatic payment for a missed appointment, a delayed repair or a delayed install. For scale, the scheme pays £10.34 a day for a delayed repair, £32.31 for a missed appointment and £6.46 a day for a delayed start, none of which a Quickline customer is entitled to. Set that beside the £75 it charges you for missing an appointment and the asymmetry is plain. Quickline is not a signatory to Ofcom's Fairness for Customers commitments, which are signed by the twelve largest providers and by nobody else either, and Quickline has not signed Ofcom's voluntary Broadband Speeds Code of Practice, so its 75% floor is a contractual promise rather than a code obligation.

Where it does well is the complaints route itself. Its code dated 18 August 2026 says it aims to resolve complaints within five working days and undertakes to tell you before that point if it cannot. The dispute route is the Communications Ombudsman, listed on the scheme's own register under Quickline Communications Ltd, which we read from the register rather than from Quickline, and you can go there after six weeks from the date the complaint was first received, or sooner on a deadlock letter. Quickline's own complaints code states six weeks, which is correct, and a good many provider codes across this market still say eight. That is a small thing, and it tells you somebody is maintaining these documents rather than filing them.

An absence from Ofcom's table is neither a good record nor a bad one; it means the provider sits below a stable market share of 1.5% or more, the share at which Ofcom tables a provider. Our Complaints Floor report explains how much of the UK market now sits outside those tables, our automatic compensation guide lists which providers pay automatically, and complaints and your rights covers what to do when a provider is not in the scheme.

What our own table shows, and what it misses

Direct answer: As of 1 September 2026, our own hand-checked deals table carries two Quickline products and both of them are 5G fixed wireless rather than fibre: 100 Mbps at £39.99 and 200 Mbps at £49.99, each on a 24-month contract with £49.99 to set up. And at an address that can take fibre, Quickline's own entry fibre package beats both of them on price, on download speed and on upload speed at once. We would rather say that on our own page than let a reader work it out for themselves.

We check every deal on this site by hand, and when we checked on 1 September 2026 the Quickline rows were both fixed wireless. That is not wrong, because those products are real and Quickline sells them. It is incomplete, because Quickline's fibre is cheaper and faster and does not appear. At an address that can take fibre, a reader comparing on our table would see £39.99 for 100 Mbps when Quickline's own checker would offer them £24.99 for 200 Mbps symmetrical with £0 to set up.

The size of it, over a 24-month contract with installation included, is £409.99 on the entry wireless package and £649.99 on the larger one. We would rather print that on our own page than let somebody find it out later. The live comparison lower down draws on the same feed, so until Quickline's fibre reaches it the same limitation applies there, and the fix in the meantime is the table at the top of this page, which carries every fibre price as text.

It is also a fair illustration of a wider point about comparison sites, ours included. A feed shows what a provider has put into it, not everything the provider sells, and no comparison table anywhere covers the whole market. That is why every page on this site tells you to run your own postcode on the provider's own checker as well, and why this one prints Quickline's whole price list rather than only the rows we can book.

Our hand-checked deals table carries every figure with the date it was verified, how we rank deals explains what the ranking does and does not account for, and our editorial policy covers what we do when we find a gap like this one.

Quickline against the other lines at the same address

Direct answer: On price inside the contract Quickline is strong: £32.99 for 1000 Mbps symmetrical against £37.99 at Fibrus and £29 at Ogi, and it holds the price where Ogi and the large providers do not. Afterwards it is the same story as everybody else, and the last column is where the differences actually live.

Read the third and fourth columns together first. Where they match, the provider holds its price for the whole term, and Quickline, Fibrus, Connect Fibre and YouFibre all do. BT, Sky and Ogi do not, so their advertised price is never the price they average. Then the last column puts Quickline back in the pack: £55 afterwards is a 66.7% step, where Connect Fibre reviews rather than steps and Fibrus and YouFibre step to published figures of their own. Nobody on this table is a hero at the end of the term; the difference is how visible the number is beforehand, and Quickline publishes it.

The other column worth reading is the second. Quickline's fibre is symmetrical on every tier, so 1000 Mbps means 1000 Mbps upload as well, and that is unusual at this price. If you push work out of the house, back up to cloud storage or upload video, it is the single strongest argument for Quickline over anything else on this table.

For context on the market as a whole, when we last hand-checked every deal, on 1 September 2026, the 373 broadband-only deals from the 28 providers we compare started at £13.50 a month (4th Utility, 150 Mbps on CityFibre), with good full fibre clustering between £23 and £34 a month and a median of £28.

Who should choose Quickline, and who should not?

Direct answer: Choose it if its fibre is live at your address, you value symmetrical upload, and you will put the end of the term in your calendar. Look elsewhere if you want compensation when the line fails, if only its fixed wireless reaches you and a fibre competitor also does, or if you want everything on one bill.

The test is the same as everywhere on this site: run the postcode, see what is actually available, and compare the cost across the whole term rather than the headline.

What should you check before you order?

Direct answer: Six checks, five minutes: get the price in writing, diarise the end of the term, find out whether your address gets fibre or wireless, ask about the rolling option, claim the switching reward on time, and check the social tariff first if a benefit applies.

One more worth knowing if a friend is already a customer. Quickline pays £100 to each side, referrer and new customer, as a gift card once the new service is installed and live. The switching reward and the referral cannot usually be combined, so take whichever is worth more. The switching promotion is currently stated to run until 30 September 2026.
