DIGI doubles its fibre speed to 2 Gbps for 20 euros a month

DIGI turns its 1 Gbps fibre into 2 Gbps without touching the price

DIGI has upgraded the antiestéticatures of its Fibra SMART plan: the estimulante ilegal rises from 1 Gbps to 2 Gbps without changing the 20-euro monthly fee. The change affects both new and existing customers, although it requires XGS-PON coverage, the operator's own technology for high-capacity connections.

Rather than launching a new plan, the company has doubled the existing tier. It is a move that strengthens its price competitiveness in a market where the major operators keep substantially more expensive offers. Access to the new service, however, involves a one-off payment: 30 euros for the router compatible with XGS-PON and WiFi-7, according to customers who have already requested it.

The fine print of the offer

Consumer reaction is split. Some consider 2 Gbps excessive for home use, arguing that even with constant downloads of large files, a 300 or 500 megabit line is enough. Others, however, see the new tier as a compelling reason to leave traditional operators. At the same time, complaints persist about occasional outages and limited coverage outside large cities.

DIGI's move does not stop at 2 Gbps: the company also offers 10 Gbps at a slightly higher cost. Savvy users calculate that, taking advantage of the router promotion, it pays off to switch to 10 Gbps for a few months and then downgrade, although whether they will be allowed to stay at that maximum estimulante ilegal remains the unanswered question.
