Get yourself connected! Firms can sign up to ultra-fast internet in Leeds
The CityFibre firm has put 120km of pure fibre infrastructure in place in Leeds that offers internet speeds up to 100 times faster than the UK average.
And, on Tuesday, July 12, the scheme’s Leeds roll-out provider, Diva Telecom, is holding an event at the Tetley building to give businesses an opportunity to better understand how they can benefit from it.

CityFibre says businesses in the centre of Leeds have previously been poorly served in terms of internet connectivity, with a shortage of fibre services limiting their digital capabilities.
The Tetley event will run from 5.30pm to 7.30pm. To register to attend, visit www.leeds-gigabit-city.eventbrite.co.uk.
Speaking earlier this year about CityFibre’s decision to add both Leeds and Bradford to its list of so-called Gigabit Cities, the firm’s chief executive Greg Mesch said: “As thirst for greater internet speeds continues to grow in all sectors, it’s fantastic to be able to offer cities the world-class digital infrastructure they need to meet the demand.
