As part of a government-funded project, about 76,000 homes and businesses in rural Hampshire will have access to high-speed internet.
The £104 million project is a component of the £5 billion Project Gigabit initiative, which connects remote areas to gigabit-capable broadband.
January 2024 is when the first live connections are anticipated.
The "substantial investment" would "boost economic and social prosperity," according to Hampshire County Council.

Once connected, locals and businesses should have access to quick broadband services over a network that can handle up to 10GB of speed.
CityFibre, a full fiber provider, has been awarded £318 million for the Hampshire, Suffolk, and Norfolk projects.
In Hampshire, City Fibre will also invest £54 million of its own money.
By March 2029, the project is anticipated to be finished in the area.
"Reliable, high-speed full-fibre broadband to areas that are not commercially viable," Hampshire County Council leader Rob Humby said.
The government hopes to have gigabit-capable connectivity and nationwide coverage in 85% of the UK by the end of 2025.
