Angus is set for a £2 million broadband boost.
The investment is part of the Step Change Project that will provide up to 93% of the region with high-speed internet.
Members of the Angus Council strategic policy committee will hear about the authority’s plans to sink two £1m payments into the scheme at a meeting on Tuesday.
Chief executive Richard Stiff said the emphasis will be on maximising the number of premises that can access fibre broadband.
He added: “The combined investment is expected to take overall fibre coverage in Angus to over 93% of premises from a starting point of less than 70%.
“Nearly half of Angus’ deployment is expected to be delivered within the initial phases of the project, giving many rural homes and businesses an early opportunity to take advantage of high speed broadband.
“In addition at least 2Mb will be delivered to areas with no basic broadband.
“There is a risk that it will not prove possible to supply all premises with the anticipated minimum supply capacity of 2Mb, particularly in the most remote locations.
“Community expectations in relation to digital connectivity will be raised by these various investments but the supply is unlikely to meet all expectations.”
The rollout will begin next year and should be complete by 2016.
