Lightning-fast broadband is set to reach thousands of people in rural Cornwall, as local supplier Wildanet has been awarded £36 million from Project Gigabit.
The roll out will reach up to 19,250 homes and business in South West and Mid Cornwall.
It is also expected that 200 jobs will be created in the region. Wildanet also has a Training Academy and an apprenticeship programme.
Survey work will begin immediately and connection is set to begin in the summer.
Digital Infrastructure Minister, Julia Lopez, said: "From Tintagel to Tredavoe, we are investing millions of pounds to connect almost 20,000 homes and businesses across Cornwall to lightning-fast broadband. This will generate growth and opportunity for people in the region’s rural communities.
"The move is part of the government’s flagship £5 billion Project Gigabit programme to spread fast, reliable and fit for the future broadband to rural and remote communities in the UK."
Cornwall Council portfolio holder for economy, Louis Gardner, said: "We’ve been working closely with DCMS to progress these procurements and it’s good news that the two contracts have been awarded, bringing the benefits of access to ultrafast, full fibre broadband connections to more of Cornwall’s residents. This builds on the legacy of previous investments since 2011 through the Superfast Cornwall programmes, including existing 49% coverage of gigabit-capable full fibre, one of the highest in England for a rural county."
