As of today, Thursday 8 October, Artemida is one of the seven new areas in the country where the Public Power Corporation (PPC) is commercially offering PPC Fiber, i.e. fibre-to-the-home (FTTH). The company itself announced this in a press release, in which Artemida is listed alongside Volos, Kalamata, Lamia, Agios Dimitrios in Attica, and Polichni and Sykies in Thessaloniki. For residents, this means that if their address passes the availability check, they can request a connection immediately, without having to wait for installation work.
What it offers and how much it costs
DEI Fiber is available as part of three internet-only packages, all featuring 100 per cent fibre-to-the-home and ‘guaranteed’ speeds, as the company describes them:
- 500 Mbps download / 250 Mbps upload: €17.90 per month
- 1 Gbps download / 500 Mbps upload: €19.90 per month
- 2.5 Gbps download / 1.25 Gbps upload: €52.90 per month
Prices include VAT. According to the plan pages on dei.gr, there is no activation fee, installation by a technician is free of charge and the router is provided free of charge (Wi-Fi 6 on the 500 Mbps plan, Wi-Fi 7 on the other two). The contract term is 24 months. Optionally, a landline service can be added for €4 a month for unlimited calls to national landlines and mobiles, and a 1,000-minute bundle for calls to landlines in 35 countries for €10. A static IP address costs €3 per month and the Wi-Fi repeater is a one-off payment of €55.
There are two things you should ask before signing. Firstly, what happens after the 24-month period: the service’s official price list (May 2026 edition) states nominal prices of 50, 60 and 80 euros per month for the three packages and an activation fee of 30 euros, whilst the commercial websites quote 17.90, 19.90 and 52.90 euros without the activation fee. Secondly, the early termination fee, which the price list refers to in the contract. The same price list specifies a charge of 35 euros for a wasted technician call-out, 20 euros for additional cabling and 60 euros for equipment replacement.
How to check your address
The fact that Artemida has been added to the list does not mean that every street is covered. DEI distinguishes between homes where the fibre has simply been laid (‘homes passed”) from those that can be connected immediately (“ready for service”), and the second category is confirmed on a house-by-house basis. The check is carried out in three ways:
- On the availability page at deifiberinterest.dei.gr, by entering your street and house number.
- By telephone on 13870, which operates 24 hours a day.
- At a DEI branch, by booking an appointment via appointment.dei.gr.
There is also one detail that causes confusion. On the Attica list, the Public Power Corporation (PPC) had already included ‘Spata’ since June, and in today’s bulletin the entry reads ‘Spata–Loutsa’, whilst Artemida is now added as a separate new area. The company does not specify which streets each entry covers, so the only certain way to find out is to check the address. Of the neighbouring municipalities, Pallini, Pikermi and Gerakas are already on the list; since June, Nea Makri, Markopoulo and Paiania, and from 23 July, Koropi, Marathon, Keratea, Kalyvia and Lavreotiki.
The network behind the service
DEI Fiber operates on the network of DEI FiberGrid, the subsidiary that builds the fibre-optic network and supplies it on a wholesale basis. According to the press release, the service is now available for direct connection to more than 1.5 million households and businesses across 70 areas; the network has been rolled out to 2.3 million homes and, including areas currently under construction, covers 120 regions. The company says that in three and a half years it has built the country’s second-largest FTTH network, with a target of 2 million households ready for connection by the end of 2026 and 3.8 million ‘homes passed’ by 2028.
For Artemida, with so many holiday homes now serving as permanent residences and with remote working having increased the demand for faster internet speeds, the arrival of yet another fibre-optic provider is of practical value regardless of whether anyone actually switches providers: it provides a benchmark for comparing prices. Anyone who checks their address and finds that the service is not yet available can register their interest on the same page so that they are notified when it becomes available.
