Freedom to choose the ideal operator: what you need to know


In an age increasingly marked by digital dependence, finding telecoms solutions that truly adapt to each user's needs is more important than ever. Thanks to dstelecom, this freedom of choice is now a reality. Through a neutral and open fibre optic network, available to the main operators in Portugal, customers can now freely choose the solution that best meets their needs.

 

One fibre optic network, one million families

dstelecom's infrastructure currently covers 149 municipalities throughout Portugal, bringing the number of homes covered to almost one million. Through this fibre-optic network, the main telecommunications operators offer their services to the end consumer. This approach ensures that the differentiating factor becomes the service, price and customer support of each operator - giving more decision-making power to those who really matter: the end user.

This scenario becomes even more relevant in light of ANACOM's data for the fourth quarter of 2024: 93.4 per cent of Portuguese households already have access to fixed internet at home, representing an increase of 2.2 percentage points on the previous year. The total number of fixed broadband accesses reached 4.7 million, with optical fibre (FTTH/B) accounting for 68.9% of this total, an increase of 6.6%. 

 

How to choose the right operator?

Before making any decisions, it's essential to confirm that your address is already covered by the dstelecom network. To do this, simply contact euquerofibra@dstelecom.pt or the freephone number 800 910 660, giving your full address or geographical coordinates.

Once coverage has been confirmed, a whole range of choices opens up, putting the power of decision in the hands of the consumer. The next step is to identify what is essential to you: does your family need a fast and stable connection for remote work, studying, streaming or online gaming? Or are you looking for a simpler solution for surfing the web and checking emails? Understanding your priorities is essential to making a sound and informed choice.

 

Freedom of choice is on your side

dstelecom's multi-operator network has democratised access to fibre optics and reduced regional asymmetries in Portugal. Thanks to this neutral and open infrastructure, even the most remote or previously neglected areas now benefit from the same connectivity conditions as the major urban centres. In this way, freedom of choice is no longer a privilege reserved for a few, but a reality accessible to all, regardless of where they live.
