Gigaclear has begun work to extend its network to more than 16,000 homes and businesses in Yorkshire.
The altnet’s footprint currently extends across 23 counties in southern and central England and its move into Yorkshire is a continuation of its expansion northwards.
Engineers will start working in Brayton this week, moving on to Cawood, Thorpe Willoughby and Hillam later in the summer.
Gigaclear is planning to connect a further six communities in West and North Yorkshire alongside North Yorkshire County Council’s highways department and parish councils.
Delivery Director Tony Smith said: “Reliable and fast broadband speeds are no longer luxuries but are necessary in order for many people to live their lives fully.”
