Where is Lazer Telecom based?
Lazer Telecom is based in Almancil, Algarve. Customers can contact our team remotely or visit our local office during opening hours.
What makes Lazer Telecom different from national providers like Nos, MEO or Vodafone
Unlike national operators managing the entire country, we specialise exclusively in the Algarve. That means faster response times, a better understanding of local infrastructure, stronger community relationships, and more personalised customer care. Every call is answered by a local team member, no call centres abroad, no automated systems. We also offer English-speaking support, which is particularly valued by expats living in the region.
Which languages does Lazer Telecom support?
Our team can provide support in Portuguese, English and Spanish.
Coverage & availability
How do I check if Lazer internet is available at my address?
Use our Coverage page to explore the Lazer network and submit your property address. Our team can then confirm which services may be available at your location.
Does the coverage map guarantee service at my property?
No. The map provides an indication of network coverage. Availability at an individual property needs to be confirmed using the exact location and relevant network information.
What if fibre isn’t available at my address?
AirFibre may provide a fixed wireless alternative for properties where Lazer fibre is not currently available. Availability depends on your location and wireless signal conditions.
Does Lazer provide internet in rural areas?
Yes. AirFibre is designed to provide wireless internet connectivity to rural and harder-to-reach properties where fibre is unavailable.
Why can coverage differ between neighbouring properties?
Fibre availability depends on the network infrastructure reaching each property. AirFibre availability also depends on factors including location and wireless signal conditions.
Installation
What happens after coverage is confirmed?
Once availability has been confirmed, our team can explain the relevant service options and arrange the next steps for installation.
Who installs my Lazer connection?
Lazer’s technical team handles the installation and setup required for your service.
How long does installation take?
Installation time can vary depending on the service, property and work required. Our team will provide more information once availability and installation requirements have been assessed.
Does AirFibre require an assessment of my property?
Yes. AirFibre availability needs to be assessed at the property so our team can determine whether a suitable wireless connection to the Lazer network can be established.
Is installation free?
Installation conditions can depend on the service, contract and property. Contact our team for the installation terms applicable to your connection.
Internet Plans
What internet services does Lazer offer?
Lazer offers several internet options for different connectivity needs:
Basic — straightforward fibre internet.
Premium — symmetrical fibre with equal upload and download speeds.
Smart — fibre internet combined with Lazer TV.
AirFibre — fixed wireless internet for properties where fibre is unavailable.
Which Lazer internet service is right for me?
Basic is designed for straightforward everyday fibre connectivity. Premium is designed for users who need stronger upload performance. Smart combines fibre internet and TV, while AirFibre provides a wireless option where fibre is unavailable.
Do Lazer internet plans include unlimited data?
Yes. Lazer’s current Basic, Premium, Smart and AirFibre internet plans include unlimited data.
Can I change my internet plan?
Contact our team if you would like to change your internet service, speed or additional services. Available options depend on your current connection and coverage.
What’s the difference between Basic and Premium?
Basic uses non-symmetrical speeds, where download speed is higher than upload speed. Premium provides symmetrical speeds, meaning upload and download speeds are equal.
What’s the difference between Smart and Basic?
Basic focuses on internet connectivity without TV included. Smart combines fibre internet with Lazer TV and offers packages with additional services such as eero Wi-Fi and NordVPN.
Wi-Fi & Additional services
What can I do if Wi-Fi doesn’t reach every part of my property?
Larger properties, thick walls and the location of your router can affect Wi-Fi coverage. Lazer offers additional Wi-Fi solutions that can help extend coverage to other areas of the property.
What is eero?
eero is a mesh Wi-Fi system that uses multiple access points to help provide more consistent Wi-Fi coverage across a property.
Does Lazer offer VPN services?
Yes. VPN options are available with selected Lazer services and as additional services. Contact our team or explore our services to find the option suitable for your setup.
Can I get a fixed IP address?
Fixed IP options are available for customers who need a consistent IP address for compatible remote access, network or business applications.
Does Lazer offer a landline service?
Yes. A landline can be added to compatible Lazer internet services. Contact our team for current availability and conditions.
Billing & Contracts
Do the prices shown on the Lazer website include VAT?
Yes. Prices displayed on the Lazer Telecom website include VAT unless otherwise stated.
Do Lazer internet plans require a contract?
Contract conditions can vary depending on the service and offer. Check the conditions shown with your chosen plan or contact our team before signing up.
How can I ask a question about my bill?
Contact our accounts team if you have a question about an invoice, payment or your account.
Can I add services to my existing connection?
