Telephone and Broadband Engineers York

The ‘UFO’ (ultra fibreoptic) broadband project is being developed by Sky, Talk Talk and City Fibre to make York the first UK ‘gigabit city’.

Their construction work has already begun in parts of the city. For queries and complaints about street works, contact the McNicholas 24 hour Careline, tel: 0845 2000214.

For more information on the UFO project, visit www.ultrafibreoptic.co.uk or email: info@ultrafibreoptic.co.uk. Further details about the new services in York, including launch dates and Sky and TalkTalk’s pricing, will be confirmed by the companies involved in due course.

Benefits of ultrafast broadband

The scheme will provide:

a state of the art, city-wide, pure fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) network
broadband speeds of 1 Gigabit (1000 Mbps) to tens of thousands of homes and businesses in York
better quality and value
‘Ultra Fibre Optic’ offers speeds 100 times faster than standard broadband. Homes that have it can download:

an HD movie in less than 30 seconds
100 photos in less than 5 seconds
a music album in a second
For businesses, it’ll improve productivity and the ability to better compete both locally and nationally.

This will be the first time ever that a UK city has been connected with such high speeds on a city-wide basis.

Sky, Talk Talk and City Fibre are working in partnership with the local community to ensure the network delivers the numerous benefits faster broadband can provide, including helping to grow the local economy and supporting York businesses to better compete in the UK and overseas.
