For the residents of Bournemouth, super high speed internet access is creeping closer after work officially started on the Fibrecity project.
The scheme will give the town's residents a chance to connect to an FTTP (fibre to the premises) network, built by H2O Networks, with speeds up to 100Mbps.
The project will cost around £30m and will be the largest of its kind in Europe, according to the company.
Bournemouth homes and businesses in the BH10 and BH11 postcodes can opt-in to the scheme.
The city's sewers will play home to the fibre optic cables themselves, a small trench will take the fibre to a box installed on the outside of the customer's home.
BT meanwhile is also getting involved in fibre, announcing earlier this week that it is hooking up Muswell Hill, London; and Whitchurch, South Glamorgan with fibre to the cabinet.
