CityFibre has begun work on its £27m projects to connect almost every home and business in the Wakefield to full fibre.
Construction on the citywide full fibre network has begun in Lupset and is being delivered by O'Connor Utilities (OCU) on behalf of CityFibre.
The overall project is expected to be completed by 2024 with services available from a range of broadband providers earlier than this. Across the UK, CityFibre is already working with launch partner Vodafone, TalkTalk, Zen and other providers.
City Manager Steve Moore said: “We’re making progress across Yorkshire and this is the start of an new chapter for the city and its digital ambitions.
“It’s important to remember that any short-term disruption will pay off tremendously in the long-term - once the network’s built, it will serve the community’s connectivity needs for decades to come.”
