Telecom Italia (TIM) has accelerated its fixed and mobile broadband plans by announcing that its fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) service now offers speeds of up to 1Gbps in 70 Italian cities while its 4.5G network will be upgraded to 700Mbps in Turin, Naples, Rome, Palermo, Taormina and Giardini-Naxos starting next month. To promote the revamped service the operator is offering a special "Fibre and Mobile" plan with 1Gbps fixed broadband and 1GB of data at 4.5G speeds for EUR 19.90 every four weeks for 1 year, then EUR 34.90 for the next 3 years.
TIM said its fibre network currently covers 16 million homes in around 1,900 localities, including 1,300 via fibre-to-the-cab (FTTC) at download speeds of 200Mbps and the rest via FTTH. Earlier this year it announced plans to reach 95 percent of Italian homes in 2018 and 99 percent in 2019.
