In a statement, the company said it intends to invest a total of EUR 165 million to extend its network to areas still lacking fibre coverage in the provinces. It also wants to take advantage of this deployment to reach even more areas in need of fibre, bring 1Gbps speeds to some 450,000 homes over the next 2 years.
Adamo acquired 5 regional networks at the end of last year to add some 170,000 homes to its fibre-optic footprint, allowing it to surpass the 1 million-home milestone. The operator is now expanding at the rate of 30,000 homes a month and expects to be in a position to bring gigabit fibre-optic services to 1.5 million households in digital divide areas by the end of this year, rising to 2 million “very soon”.
Adamo currently has its own coverage in Catalonia, Madrid, Valencian, Asturias, Cantabria, Navarra, Castilla La Mancha, Castilla-Leon, Extremadura, La Rioja, Galicia, Murcia and Andalucia. Earlier this year it secured EUR 250 million in a fresh funding round led by banks including BBVA, ING and Investec and reached a wholesale access deal with Euskaltel.
