Martin Williams, partnership director at Openreach, said: "We’re bringing full fibre broadband to Ferndown and letting local people know what to expect.
"This is a major infrastructure upgrade, so there will be more engineering teams, equipment and vans around town, and we're working hard to keep disruption to a minimum.
"Wherever possible, we’ll use our existing network of ducts and poles to avoid roadworks, new street furniture and disturbance."
Full-fibre technology is said to offer improved reliability, more consistent speeds and the capacity to meet growing data demands well into the future.
The upgrade promises to improve day-to-day online activities, from streaming and gaming at home to video calls and online banking for businesses, with fewer interruptions.
Openreach’s full fibre network currently reaches more than 21 million properties.
The company aims to expand coverage to 25 million homes and businesses across the UK by the end of 2026.
