Algérie Télécom Launches Africa’s Fastest FTTH Internet at 1.6 Gb/s

Algérie Télécom has once again broken records, launching new Fiber To The Home (FTTH) offers with connection speeds of up to 1.6 gigabits per second — the fastest ever achieved in Africa. This milestone strengthens Algeria’s position as a digital leader and accelerates the country’s transition toward next-generation connectivity.

A New Internet Speed Record for Africa

This achievement comes just months after Algérie Télécom set its previous record in November 2024 with 1.2 Gb/s speeds. By crossing the 1.6 Gb/s threshold, the public operator cements its role as a pioneer in technological innovation both in Algeria and across the continent.

Ultra-Fast Internet for All Users

The new offers cater to individuals, professionals, and businesses seeking unmatched performance for high-definition streaming, competitive online gaming, remote work, e-learning, and cloud services. With these speeds, households can enjoy smooth, stable, and immersive experiences — even with multiple devices connected simultaneously.

Meanwhile, the national fiber rollout continues at full speed. Tens of thousands of homes and businesses are connected monthly, with the number of FTTH subscribers expected to reach 2.4 million in the coming days.

Higher Speeds at No Extra Cost

In keeping with its goal to make ultra-high-speed Internet more accessible, Algérie Télécom has updated its Idoom Fibre packages with speeds of up to 1.5 Gb/s at no additional cost. Existing customers are seeing their speeds automatically doubled without service interruptions.

New price and speed tiers include:

• 60 Mb/s – 2,200 DA/month (formerly 30 Mb/s)

• 120 Mb/s – 2,400 DA/month

• 240 Mb/s – 2,600 DA/month

• 480 Mb/s – 2,800 DA/month

• 600 Mb/s – 3,000 DA/month

• 1 Gb/s – 3,600 DA/month

• 1.5 Gb/s – 4,200 DA/month (upgraded from 1.2 Gb/s)

These speeds are designed for heavy data use, including 4K video streaming, competitive gaming, and high-intensity teleworking.

Attractive Offers for New Subscribers

To encourage fiber adoption, Algérie Télécom has simplified its subscription process and introduced special incentives. New customers choosing a package of 60 Mb/s or higher can receive a free fiber modem and installation if they return a working 4G LTE modem.

This 0 DA upgrade offer aims to make the switch to fiber optics seamless and affordable, accelerating Algeria’s journey toward nationwide very high-speed broadband access.
