Vis-IT York
Nowhere in northern England says 'medieval' quite like York, a city of extraordinary cultural and historical wealth that has lost little of its pre-industrial lustre. A magnificent circuit of 13th-century walls encloses a medieval spider's web of narrow streets. At its heart lies the immense, awe-inspiring York Minster, one of the most beautiful Gothic cathedrals in the world. York's long history and rich heritage is woven into virtually every brick and beam, and the modern, tourist-oriented city – with its myriad museums, restaurants, cafes and traditional pubs – is a carefully maintained heir to that heritage.tains locomotives including the Mallard, which broke the world speed record for steam trains in 1938.

Interwoven with the city’s historic walls is one of the most extensive dark fibre networks in the UK, linking all public buildings, and accessible to businesses right across the city.
Connected to the northern internet exchange platform, York offers high speed, highly resilient, and secure infrastructure on which to operate business critical internet services. The only exchange operator outside the capital, the network gives York and the North of England complete independence from London.
TalkTalk, alongside its partners Sky and CityFibre, were delighted to choose York as the first UK City in which to deploy their Ultrafast Fibre network. York shares their passion for how digital technology can transform society and impressed them with its clear vision and drive to become the Digital Capital of the North
