This expansion represents a particularly important step for the two municipalities, allowing thousands of residents to benefit, for the first time, from high-speed internet, essential for the daily lives of families and for local competitiveness.

In Albufeira, coverage begins in the parish of Paderne, where approximately 2,000 families will finally have access to the dstelecom network. In Silves, fiber will reach the parishes of São Bartolomeu de Messines, São Marcos da Serra, and União das Freguesias de Algoz e Tunes, bringing connectivity to approximately 6,800 families.

“We want to bring connectivity to those who don't yet have it. That is the true impact of our mission: to ensure that all Portuguese, regardless of where they live, have access to quality internet services,” says Ricardo Salgado, CEO of dstelecom.

dstelecom's fiber optic network has a multi-operator model, allowing residents to choose between the main telecommunications operators on the market, ensuring healthy competition and access to better prices and service conditions.

To check coverage, residents can provide their address and, ideally, a landmark by emailing euquerofibra@dstelecom.pt or calling the toll-free number 800 910 660.
