The next phase of Project Gigabit will see 570,000 rural homes and businesses receive a broadband boost.
Hard-to-reach premises across Cheshire, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Essex, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Lincolnshire, East Riding and North Yorkshire are next in line to benefit from the government's £5bn investment.
Digital Secretary Nadine Dorries said: "This investment is levelling up in action; building new Internet connections in our rural communities so people have the speed, reliability and freedom to live and work flexible, and take advantage of new technologies."
The news follows an £8m broadband boost for 3,600 rural homes and businesses in northern Scotland announced at Budget.
