Fibre broadband cables will be installed in Worle next month, affecting more than 4,000 homes.
Virgin Media will carry out works as part of the fibre to the premises scheme, which offers broadband speeds of up to 1Gbps.
Works will begin in March on homes in Ebdon Road, Queensway, Magdalen Way and Wansbrough Road among others, and they are expected to last approximately six months.
It is hoped the project will bring much faster broadband and TV connectivity to the area.
Traffic disruptions and roadworks are expected.
Virgin Media will host community events so people can find out more about the scheme.
