Digi has once again surpassed itself after the portability results at the beginning of the year. And the Romanian company is accumulating a large number of users that it steals every month from the country’s large telecommunications companies, but also other new ones who want to be part of one of the operators with the best acquisition forecast in recent years. This is confirmed by the data for the first month of 2024.
Leaving aside the Orange-MásMóvil merger, since there is still a lot of fabric to cut due to the fact that there is still no indication that its verdict will be clarified, Digi continues to brag about its feat regarding the number of ports it has achieved during the month January, after already operating for 15 years in our country. The Romanian-born operator could move up the ranks very soon as soon as the merger of the new joint venture is announced, but first it wanted to share the best start to the year in its history in portability.
Digi increases portability by 55%
Digi signs January 2024 as the best month in its history by recording a total of 117,200 ports, which represents an increase of more than 55% compared to the same period of the previous year. Of all of them, more than 99,500 correspond to the mobile line part. But in terms of net quantities, the company has obtained more than 84,900 mobile and fixed telephone lines during the month of January, increasing more than 74% in relation to 2023. In turn, of these lines, more than 68,500 have to do with net mobile phone portability, which translates into an increase of more than 78% compared to January of last year.
All the portability figures obtained become the second largest record in the history of the operator and the fourth time that it has surpassed the barrier of 100,000 ported lines, quite a feat, without a doubt.
In this way, Digi now has 6.1 million customers, of which 4.45 million correspond to the mobile telephony section, more than 1.24 million to the fiber section and more than 402,000 to the fixed telephony section, according to the latest data published by the multinational Digi Communications during the third quarter of 2023.
Expansion at high levels
Digi continues to expand throughout the country, reaching several important milestones, such as being the fastest fiber network in Spain for the third consecutive time, according to speed test experts Ookla published during the second half of 2023.
In addition, the communications company has invested more than 1,000 million euros to deploy its Smart fiber throughout Spain, which already reaches 8.5 million homes, along with its prodigious 10 Gbps PRO-DIGI fiber that already reaches 38 provinces.
Regarding its telephony product proposal, you can find very affordable prices with the combined fiber and mobile and a 10 euro discount on fiber if your area supports its own Smart coverage. Likewise, Digi is already in tests to bring the 5G connection to all mobile lines, which it already introduced sporadically at the end of last year to verify that the signal was working correctly, and which will be available at some point in 2024.
