The community network, the alternative for rural areas!

Make a donation

A telecommunications network in a community format

We facilitate access to the Internet through the construction and management of a shared fiber optic network thanks to the different actors who have promoted, financed or use and connect to it. In this way, we allow people who want to be users to be on equal terms.

We defend the human right to access the Internet as a basic tool for action and social inclusion; therefore, our network always promotes social, solidarity, and collaborative economy, and develops the information and communication society while eliminating the digital divide between rural and urban areas.

Questions about the community network

  • The necessary investment to carry out the project is obtained through many agents, including the citizens themselves, the involved municipalities, and the Guifi.net Foundation.

  • By making a donation, you help grow the project and ensure that the network is shared with all participants.

  • Additionally, this contribution allows you to enjoy a monthly reduction, for life, in your monthly rate.

As a user of the fiber optic network of Navares de las Cuevas, Cerezo de Abajo, and Castrocerracín, you have the option to eliminate the concept of "line fee" from your monthly billby making a contribution of €1,500tax deductible. By making this contribution:

  • You will coverthearrival costof the network to your home or business.

  • You will never have to pay for this concept with the operators again.

  • It means enjoying adiscount of €17on the billmonthly.

Example in case of making a contribution: if your monthly bill is €45, you would only have to pay €28 for Internet access service, as the infrastructure would already be covered.

  • Additionally, this €1,500 istax deductible on the income tax return(up to a 39.5% deduction), as it is a project of public interest channeled through a non-profit entity . Check the donation system here.

You decide. In the community network of Segovia, we inform and give the option for the user to have the possibility to permanently eliminate the cost of "line fee" which is €17 per month, that is, €204 every year.

If you make the donation of €1,500, after 3.8 years you will have amortized the amount.

If you do not make it, you will always pay these €17 just like with the other telecommunications companies.

It is not mandatory to make a donation as long as other resources or a bulk of donations from the rest of the participants are found to cover the projects. However, it is important to know that in this way, you also help extend the network to the rest of the neighbors in the area, thus making Internet accessible to everyone and eliminating the digital divide.

You have two ways to make the payment:

  • You have the option to make the donation in a single payment (€1,500).

  • Or in two installments (€750*2) or up to three payments (€500*3).

In case of being in installments, the payments must be made during the months following the first payment. You can make half of the payment before the installation and the other half once connected.
