Residents in Fifehead St Quintin are the first to benefit from a Dorset Council and Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) funded programme to help rural communities get a top class internet connection for free.
Wessex Internet has started connecting people in the village via a community project set up to help residents take advantage of the government subsidised voucher scheme available to rural areas.
It was additional top-up funding from Dorset Council and Dorset LEP's Getting Building Fund that made the scheme possible.
"Without the Dorset top-up, communities like Fifehead St Quintin would still be forced to cope with inadequate broadband not fit for the 21st century," said Ludo Skinner, Director of Infrastructure at Wessex Internet.
"A sub-standard connection because you live in a rural area is unacceptable. Connectivity is a necessity " rural communities, businesses, schools, and the healthcare sector all depend on it to thrive."
