After several months of coordination, planning, permits, and deployment tasks, the fiber optic network of guifi·net is now fully operational in the homes of Marata thanks to the impetus and co-financing from its neighbors and the support of the Marata Cultural Center, the Guifi·net Foundation, and the three operators that will offer the services: Ticae, WaiFai, and SomConnexió.

The more than 40 scattered homes and farms in this nucleus of Vallès Oriental can now contract high-capacity Internet services of up to 1Gbps through the shared network. A shared network, more sustainable and high-capacity, offering Internet and telephone services through these three local operators.

This also bets on a model of proximity economy where the geographical location and composition of dispersion should not be a reason for discrimination to access quality Internet in the 21st century. 

Therefore, all those houses and farms interested can now contact the operators, inquire about their services and rates, and enjoy the services offered by the network. 

The project, which has had significant financial participation from the community, ensures and promotes that the neighbors who have helped co-finance the deployment of this network model can enjoy a reduction and savings, for life, in their monthly fee.
