Satellite broadcaster Sky Italia will shortly be extending the coverage of its recently-launched ‘Sky Wifi’ fixed broadband service by adding Fastweb’s FTTC network assets throughout the country, reports Mondo Mobile Web. ‘Sky Wifi’ was launched in June on the Open Fiber FTTH network in 26 Italian cities, initially for Sky subscribers only. It’s now available in 149 cities throughout the country to all users, including those without a Sky subscription, and will soon be available in areas covered by Fastweb’s FTTC (fibre and copper) network, said the report, citing an update to Sky’s website.
Sky Wifi comes with a 1 Gbps download and 300 Mbps upload connection under Open Fiber’s FTTH network and 200 Mbps under Fastweb’s FTTC technology at prices starting at EUR 29.90 a month for a triple-play (voice, broadband and Sky Q TV) service. Sky reached a deal to access Fastweb’s FTTC, FTTH and fixed-wireless access (FWA) infrastructure at the end of last year.
