PADERNE, SÃO BARTOLOMEU DE MESSINES, SÃO MARCOS DA SERRA, ALGOZ AND TUNES WILL HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH-SPEED INTERNET BY MARCH 2026

dstelecom has just announced that, by the end of the first quarter of 2026, approximately 8,800 families in the municipalities of Albufeira and Silves will have access to telecommunications services with higher speed, greater bandwidth and better quality.

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, the coverage begins in the parish of Paderne, where approximately 2,000 families will finally have access to the dstelecom network. In Silves, fiber optic internet 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's the true impact of our mission: to ensure that all Portuguese people, regardless of where they live, have access to quality internet services,” says Ricardo Salgado, CEO of dstelecom.

It's worth remembering that dstelecom's fiber optic network has a multi-operator model, allowing residents to choose between the main telecommunications operators on the market, guaranteeing 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.
