Fiber internet for your entire building in Lebanon

A building committee, an owner, a property developer, a syndic or the manager of a gated community or compound anywhere in Lebanon, and, for corporate buildings, the company or the building management. You do not need to be an SME customer, and the request does not commit the building to anything.

A price for connecting the whole building to SME FIBER: the building connection and distribution, the installation of every apartment or office that subscribes, the monthly plans available to the occupants and the support arrangement. Where fiber has not yet reached the street, SME says so and proposes SME DSL in the meantime, with a free upgrade when fiber arrives.

Two conditions apply. First, every apartment that joins must not have an active DSL or fiber internet service with another provider on its line; an apartment that does must cancel that service with its current provider before SME can connect it. Second, at least 70% of the apartments in the building must submit their documents for SME to proceed with the building application.

The national ID card (front and back) or the passport of the applicant; where the landline is not in the applicant's name or the apartment has no landline yet, one property document, namely the house deed, a rent contract signed by the municipality, or a proof of residence; and, where the line had internet service with another provider, a clearance certificate from that provider. Documents are photographed with a phone in the online application; nothing is printed or posted.

SME calls the contact you give within two business days with the official quote for the whole building and to confirm the building's line situation; where a site survey is needed, it is scheduled on that call.

Your full name, a Lebanese mobile number, your e-mail address (the official quote is e-mailed to you at once, with a Confirm button), the number of apartments or offices, the town or area, whether the building is residential or corporate, and the building's location — shared with one tap using your device's location while you are at the building. The building or community name and any notes are optional.

Yes. A single household or office applies for SME FIBER or SME DSL through the online application at any time; the building request is for connecting many apartments or offices together under one quote.

The coverage page lists every town SME covers with fiber-optic and DSL internet, and the free line check (sme-lb.com/check-fiber-availability) tells you in seconds whether fiber reaches a given landline in the building. For a building request, SME confirms the building's own situation on the call.
