The new service will allows broadband download speeds of up to 40Mb through the use of fibre-optic cables from the local exchange to the street cabinets.
The planned units are larger than the conventional green boxes, being 1.4m tall (4'7").
Locations include Warren Park Road, Old Cross, Highfield Road, Castle Street, Priory Street, Market Place and Ware Road.
