Home-owners and tenants can now get a one-off payment of up to €150 to improve access to high-speed broadband in communes which do not yet benefit from a fibre-optic connection and are unlikely to do so in the near future.

The Community of Saint-Martin has committed after the devastating passage of Hurricane IRMA, September 6, 2017, to open a major landfill site for electricity and fibrous networks.
While 90% of the burying of electricity networks is carried out in partnership with EDF, the challenge today is to launch the second phase of burying fibre optic networks for maximum coverage of the territory and very high-speed access to the internet for our citizens.
In order to carry out this major project and ensure the resilience of the telecommunications networks, the Community has chosen to create, during 2020, the company SAS Tintamarre, of which it is co-shareholder with the Caisse des Depots et Consignation (CDC) and Dauphin Telecom.
