BIVID Telecom expands fiber optic coverage to Les Garrigues
Les Garrigues (Lleida), November 2025. BIVID Telecom announces the deployment of symmetric fiber optic coverage in municipalities in the Les Garrigues region that until now only had ADSL or mobile connections. The initiative represents a qualitative leap in connectivity for an area traditionally neglected by major operators and reinforces the Catalan operator's commitment to rural fiber.
A region with very specific connectivity needs
Les Garrigues is an inland region in the province of Lleida with scattered populations, low population density, and an economy linked to olive oil, agriculture, and rural tourism. These characteristics have hindered private investment in telecommunications infrastructure for years, with many municipalities still relying on outdated technologies like ADSL or 4G mobile connections with irregular coverage.
BIVID's deployment prioritizes the most economically active population centers and connects them via fiber optics of up to 1 Gb symmetric. For the most isolated enclaves (farmhouses, country houses, rural accommodations), the operator complements the offer with wireless WiMax, an alternative that reaches speeds sufficient for remote work and streaming.
Rural internet with no commitment and fixed pricing
One of the keys to BIVID's proposal in rural areas is the flexibility of tariffs. The operator applies no commitment, does not increase the price from the second year onwards, and allows pausing the service in second homes or tourist accommodations without penalty. The residential rate starts at 25€/month with free installation and WiFi 6 router included.
"In Les Garrigues there are residents who have spent years trying to work remotely with 6 Mbps ADSL. Bringing them symmetric fiber optics is not just a technical improvement, it's a change in quality of life and economic possibilities for the region," explain from BIVID Telecom.
Commitment to connectivity in inland Catalonia
The deployment in Les Garrigues is part of a broader rural coverage strategy in Lleida and nearby regions. BIVID has been working for years to reach where other operators do not, combining fiber optics in urban and semi-urban centers with wireless WiMax in dispersed areas. The company maintains central offices in Lleida and physical stores in Almacelles, Binéfar, and Cambrils.
The project indirectly benefits from the Rural Connectivity Plan promoted by the state administration, which allocates aid to extend fiber optics to municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants in areas with low commercial profitability. BIVID participates in the ecosystem of local operators that fill that market gap, together with other members of AOTCat.
How to check coverage
Residents and businesses in Les Garrigues can check fiber availability at their address through BIVID Telecom's online checker or by calling 973 07 07 07. Installation is usually carried out within 7 business days after coverage confirmation.
