Algeria has connected three million households to fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband services, marking a significant step forward in the country’s digital transformation agenda.
The milestone was announced by Sid Ali Zerrouki, Minister of Post and Telecommunications, in a video message highlighting progress under the government’s national broadband strategy.
Zerrouki said the expansion reflects the strategic directives of the President of Algeria to extend high-speed digital infrastructure across the country. He noted that authorities have adopted a comprehensive all-fibre communications approach aimed at ensuring equitable access to next-generation connectivity nationwide.
The Ministry of Post and Telecommunications has coordinated the large-scale deployment, with sustained institutional backing enabling rapid rollout across both urban centres and regional areas. The minister emphasised that the initiative supports Algeria’s ambition to rank among Africa’s leading digitally connected nations.
Reaching three million fibre-connected households represents a major boost for digital inclusion, service quality and economic development. Zerrouki described the achievement as a collective national success and indicated that further expansion of digital infrastructure is expected in the coming phases.
