We launched the major COSMOTE Fiber expansion project for bringing the power of fiber optics from one end of Greece to the other. And we’re moving ahead!
And we’re moving ahead!
Now, over 3.1 million homes and businesses can access incredible speeds:
• 300Mbps • 500Mbps • 1Gbps
to enjoy the ultimate internet experience.
The new COSMOTE Fiber speeds are already commercially available in areas with Fiber to the Home (FTTH) infrastructure.
We are implementing the largest investment in telecommunications infrastructure in recent decades, building Greece’s digital future, with over €3 billion in investments through 2027. We are expanding the COSMOTE Fiber network to bring 100% optical fiber and 100% guaranteed speed that already reaches 1Gbps!
Today, more than 1,300,000 homes and businesses throughout the country can enjoy the new incredible speeds, with those numbers rising to 3,000,000 homes and businesses by the end of 2027 covering 2/3 of Greece.
Because a faster world for all is a better world for all.
Our key goal is to increase ultra-high-speed penetration to an even larger portion of the population. This is why, until the major project of extending optical fiber is completed, we have already started the free speed upgrade of the landline broadband internet that COSMOTE subscribers enjoy today.
The speed upgrade will be completed gradually within the year for 750.000 homes and businesses, and our subscribers will not need to take any action, as the process will be carried out automatically. The only requirements for the upgrade are for COSMOTE subscribers to be located in an area that Fiber to the Home (FTTH) has not yet reached, and for the upgrade to be technologically feasible via the network infrastructure of the area where their home or business is located.
Via Fiber to the Home infrastructure

Via Fiber To The Cabinet Infrastructure

Via FTTH infrastructure, the actual speed of your internet connection – regardless of your plan – corresponds to its nominal speed.
See here, call 13888 (13818 for businesses) or visit an OTE Group store.
Via FTTH infrastructure, 100% optical fiber reaches your home or business outlet, with 100% guaranteed speed.
The difference lies in the technological infrastructure, which affects the actual speed at which the router synchronizes. In the case of an FTTH connection, there is no copper involved, as in cases where the optical fiber stops at the neighbourhood cabinet (FTTC) or the central exchange of the area (FTTE), so you enjoy ultimate speed performance with no loss or interruption.
Furthermore, through FTTC infrastructure, internet speeds reach up to 200Mbps, while through FTTH infrastructure – for the first time on COSMOTE Fiber – speeds of 300Mbps, 500Mbps and 1Gbps are offered.
This is an upgrade of the subscriber's current access speed to the next commercially available speed, free of charge and automatically – in the majority of cases, without the subscriber having to take any action.
For example:
anyone with a 24Mbps plan today will have their speed upgraded to 50Mbps,
anyone with a 50Mbps plan today will have their speed upgraded to 100Mbps,
anyone with a 100Mbps plan today will have their speed upgraded to 200Mbps.
The only requirements for the upgrade are for your connection to be located in an area where FTTH hasn't arrived yet and isn’t scheduled to arrive within 2022, and for the network infrastructure in your area to make the upgrade feasible.
If FTTH infrastructure is already available in your area, you can get the new incredible internet speeds of 300Mbps, 500Mbps or 1 Gbps. Learn more here for homes and here for businesses.
