Italian operator PosteMobile, the country’s leading MVNO, has launched its first fibre offer for residential clients following a trial limited to post office staff. The plan, dubbed ‘PosteCasa Ultraveloce’, is available at the promotional price of EUR 26.90 a month instead of EUR 30.90 for fibre broadband (FTTH and FTCC) at speeds of up to 1Gbps on the Open Fiber network throughout the country. Also included are a Fritz! Box 7530 or ZTE H2640 router as well as unlimited 4G mobile data via a USB dongle.
PosteMobile said the 4G USB key gives subscribers “double connectivity” under a single plan, allowing them to access the WindTre network (shortly to be replaced by Vodafone) at download speeds of up to 300Mbps. Activation fees are currently EUR 49 instead of EUR 99 and the offer is already available online and via over 12,000 post offices throughout the country starting from next week.
The post office recently announced that PosteMobile reached a total of 4.78 million customers at the end of March, up 272,000 or 7 percent year on year, converting the company into the country’s largest MVNO with around 5.6 percent of traditional SIMs.
