Operator customers are already beginning to pay 20 euros less every month for their Internet rates. The Digital Bonus program, financed by the European Union, is already reaching some users. With this, the aim is that all people have the option of having a good Internet connection in their homes without spending a fortune.
This particular digital connectivity bonus is based on giving a subsidy of up to 240 euros per year to users, that is, 20 euros per month for an entire year. Of course, it is not available to everyone, but you must belong to one of the different vulnerable groups that are defined by each Community in Spain.
On this occasion, some Madrid citizens are already beginning to receive the Digital Bonus, a program in which both Lowi and O2 participate for the Community of Madrid, as it appears on the community’s website within the Collaborating Operators section of the program.
12 months discount on your rate
Keep in mind that, if you are one of the beneficiaries of this digital voucher to pay less for Internet, you have to make a new Internet contract for your home with some of the operators that are collaborators in your community. In the case of Madrid residents who have already started receiving it, you can contract one of the O2 or Lowi rates.
And it is not only available for fiber rates, you can also contract one of their convergent plans (fiber and mobile) that both operators have in their respective catalogs. In this way, you can save 240 euros in a year, that is, 20 euros per month. Although you must be attentive to the deadlines to request this subsidy. For example, in the case of the Community of Madrid, it ends on October 31.
On the other hand, this project, which is within the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, financed by the European Union Next Generation EU, has allocated more than 2.5 million euros to the Community of Madrid. In this way, according to official data, a total of 10,632 citizens will be able to benefit from this subsidy for 12 months.
If you have not yet requested this particular aid, you still have time if you reside in the Community of Madrid. To do this, you must follow this series of steps:
- The first thing you should do is confirm in the electronic headquarters of the Government of the Community of Madrid who can be a beneficiary of the Digital Bonus.
- Then you can request it. Keep in mind that it is the regional government that grants you the subsidy.
- After the concession by the regional government, as a customer you can now contact one of the collaborating operators in the community.
Madrid citizens have the option of contracting the 300 Mbps fiber rate + Lowi mobile line or one of the O2 rates, as is the case of the 500 Mbps fiber and O2 mobile line. Therefore, you only have to contact one of these companies to ask about the rate you want to contract and if it falls within the Digital Bonus. This way you will be able to save 20 euros every month for 1 year.
