DIGI Spain (DIGI), the telecommunications operator of the DIGI Communications Group in Spain, celebrates five years since the launch of PRO-DIGI, its fibre service offering speeds of up to 10 Gbps. This move made the operator a pioneer in the Spanish residential market by introducing a service powered by XGS-PON technology in 2021.
XGS-PON technology is designed to deliver maximum speed and low latency for internet access. This enables users to enjoy symmetrical fibre-optic speeds of up to 10 Gbps for web browsing, remote work, video streaming, and online gaming with greater fluidity and at maximum resolution.
With services like this—offering up to 10 Gbps for just 25 euros per month—DIGI reinforces its commitment to providing customers with the best connectivity experience, making top-tier technology and quality available at competitive prices.
XGS-PON Network Deployment
DIGI began introducing XGS-PON technology into its fibre deployments just three years after launching its own fibre-optic network rollouts in Madrid. Since then, the operator has expanded its SMART network across Spain, making it available in 50 provinces today.
Currently, the fibre-optic network deployment utilizing XGS-PON technology accounts for 95% of the network coverage the company has rolled out in Spain.
In the words of Marius Varzaru, CEO of DIGI Spain: “The pioneering launch of PRO-DIGI in the Spanish residential market five years ago represented not only a commitment to providing our customers with the best broadband access services but also charted the path we continue to follow today—a path defined by our commitment to excellence and service quality, made possible by deploying the best technology in our networks, namely XGS-PON.
Today, five years later, we can affirm that DIGI’s investment in XGS-PON networks has created value for our customers, who enjoy the benefits of the best residential internet access technology at the most competitive prices on the market. Furthermore, these customers—now numbering over 3 million across Spain—validate the work of DIGI’s more than 11,900 employees; every day, we strive to improve our connectivity offerings, making them more robust and accessible to everyone.”
XGS-PON Technology at 2 and 10 Gbps
Driven by its goal of offering the best connectivity experience accessible to everyone, DIGI makes XGS-PON technology available to its customers through its PRO-DIGI "Fibra SMART" plan (up to 10 Gbps) for €25 per month, and its 2 Gbps ‘Fibra SMART’ plan for €20 per month. Both speeds are available in areas covered by the SMART fibre network.
Additionally, DIGI customers can enjoy the latest XGS-PON technology combined with the operator's Wi-Fi 7 router, which offers up to 30% better in-home wireless coverage, resulting in faster internet access speeds and lower latency.
Users can check ‘Fibra SMART’ coverage at their address and sign up via the operator's website, at any of its points of sale, at DIGI stands in major shopping centers, or by calling 1200 (toll-free from the DIGI network) or 919 120 120 (from another operator).

The company's commitment to achieving the highest service quality and making it accessible to all customers is also evidenced by Ookla® recognizing its Fibra SMART network as ‘Spain's fastest fiber network’ for the last five years.
