Quickline broadband speeds

Quickline offer full fibre broadband to the home with speed options available from 200Mb per second up to 1000Mb per second on average.

Average download speed Average upload speed
Connect 200Mb 200Mb
Extra 500Mb 500Mb
Complete 1000Mb 1000Mb

One of the major benefits of Quickline broadband is that they offer symmetrical upload speeds, so uploads are as fast as the headline download speed.

While this becoming more common with full fibre networks, it's still yet to be offered by major providers including BT, TalkTalk, and Sky.

Quickline say their Connect plan with 200Mbps speeds is suitable for smaller households with up to 10 devices connecting at a time, while their Extra 500Mb plan is better suited to larger homes with more occupants going online at the same time.

For customers who want the fastest broadband, Quickline Complete offers gigabit broadband speeds that can accommodate multiple users and devices all connecting simultaneously.
