dstelecom has just extended its multi-operator optical fiber network to Pardais, in Vila Viçosa, thus ensuring that the population can contract telecommunications services with more speed, greater bandwidth and better quality.

Ensuring full coverage of the parish, the company states that the objective of this extension is to contribute not only to the settlement of the population, but also to the creation of new opportunities for the territory, thus increasing the economic and social benefits.

It is recalled that the telecommunications wholesaler had already invested in the municipality in 2015, bringing connectivity to Bencatel, Nossa Senhora da Conceição and São Bartolomeu. After all, dstelecom's infrastructure will cover 97% of the municipality.

The percentage of the municipality that is not yet covered is located within the perimeter of the so-called white zones, where, given the population density, there is no economic rationale for coverage without subsidy. In the statement, dstelecom guarantees that it is positioning itself and that it will do everything to ensure coverage very close to 100%.

As all operators operating in Portugal make their services available to the final consumer through this fiber optic network, families and companies based in Vila Viçosa will be able to choose any service, without any limitation or discrimination, from a wide range of offers from all operators operating in Portugal.

According to Inácio Esperança, Mayor of Vila Viçosa, who supported the work carried out, the partnership with dstelecom was very positive, as it allowed a great improvement in optical fiber coverage in the territory.

“Vila Viçosa now has greater access to the optical fiber network, thanks to a network reinforcement that brought connectivity to around 1,400 homes in the municipality and an extension that guaranteed full coverage of Pardais. We hope, this year, to ensure access to optical fiber in the parish of São Romão and reach a coverage rate of 100%”, he declares.
