🍟 Happy National Fish & Chip Day! 🐟

Mr Chippy York is a much-loved York takeaway, but its broadband connection had long been a source of frustration. Located in the heart of the city centre, the business experienced slow speeds, lag and drop-outs that made day-to-day operations more difficult than they needed to be.

When the pandemic struck in 2020, those challenges became even more apparent. Like many businesses, Mr Chippy became increasingly reliant on digital technology, from point-of-sale and card payments to online ordering. Its old broadband connection struggled to keep up.

Since upgrading to Full Fibre, the business has been able to support the technology it depends on every day, helping staff process orders, manage payments and serve customers more efficiently.

As more businesses embrace digital tools, reliable Full Fibre connectivity is becoming an essential ingredient for success, helping businesses operate smarter and make the most of opportunities online.

We expect Mr Chippy to be busy this ! 🍟

Today is World Telecommunication & Information Society Day 📡

This year’s theme is , “Strengthening resilience in a connected world”. It’s a reminder of how much our communities rely on the digital systems that keep everyday life moving.

Building a more resilient digital city starts locally, with the networks and tools we all depend on. From new Full Fibre builds to 5G, we are continuing efforts to improve digital resilience and inclusion across York.

York’s connectivity landscape plays a quiet but essential role in daily resilience:

• helping people stay connected
• supporting businesses to operate smoothly
• keeping vital services running behind the scenes

Reliable connectivity underpins everything from home working to streaming services, and this is why we continue working with network partners to extend this vital infrastructure to areas needing stronger access to digital.

🎉 Happy Workaversary! 🎉

This spring marks Linz’s 11th year at City of York Council – and she continues to play a key role in making Digital York what it is today.

A big part of her work involves supporting voucher funding, which forms part of the ongoing work to bring Full Fibre to areas still waiting for better connectivity, as part of the wider Project Gigabit rollout.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a Linz celebration without a mention of her Cockapoo, Ricky 🐾. He’s currently taking it easy after a recent injury, but we hope he’ll be back to his usual adventures soon! 💛

Recent Ofcom figures show that nearly eight in ten UK homes now have access to Full Fibre broadband. Here in York, Full Fibre coverage is estimated to be around 86% – and no, this isn’t an April Fool!

With around a fifth of the country still waiting for Full Fibre, every newly upgraded area creates opportunities for households and businesses to do more online – from remote working and digital learning to accessing day-to-day services.

This is why Digital York continues to play a vital role in supporting the rollout locally, helping more residents, businesses and community groups benefit from fast, reliable connectivity.

Project Gigabit is now targeting those final underserved pockets, including some of York’s harder-to-reach areas. The places still waiting for Full Fibre are what we often refer to as NOT SPOTs.

Do you know a location in York that still feels underserved? Send us a message with a few details so we can follow it up!
