After talking about TIM ADSL and Fibra and Fastweb offers, it's time to look at the third alternative to have internet at home or in the office: Vodafone . Vodafone provides an ADSL or fiber optic connection complete with internet and telephone, and presents itself as an excellent alternative for those tired of Telecom, Fastweb and other national operators. Vodafone does not have a reputation for being very cheap, but as far as the current offers are concerned, the rates are similar to those of others, guaranteeing a rather good service, at least according to the opinions of many users of the specialized forums. The main advantage of Vodafone however is the integration that can be done with the SIM of a mobile phone thanks to subscriptions that also include internet via smartphone.

1) Capacity of the Vodafone line
The Vodafone network is one of the most extensive in Italy after TIM and Fastweb, so high-speed coverage can be obtained in practically any large Italian city (from provincial capitals upwards). The Vodafone network is characterized by the following connections:
- ADSL : less and less used, it is the standard connection for small municipalities not yet reached by the Vodafone network or FTTC (VULA) technology; it is the slowest and due to its great use, it is easy to find the control unit or the saturated cabinet (maximum speed 7 Mbps).
- FTTC : the Vodafone fiber reaches the nearest closet, then serves the various utilities with the copper cable; in this scenario it is possible to reach very high speeds without having to do anything at home (up to 300 Mbps).
- FTTC (VULA) : in many municipalities Vodafone uses the TIM network to supply the optical fiber to the cabinet, therefore reaching users via copper.
The maximum speed remains very high (up to 200 Mbps), but in the event of breakdowns or repairs TIM intervenes.
- FTTH : the real fiber, with the new cable that reaches the house instead of copper.
Speeds are very high, as is line stability (up to 1000 Mbps).
When signing up for the subscription, make sure that one of the FTTx technologies that we have shown above is available in your city and address, so that you can really use high-speed Internet. The ADSL lines are now too slow, you might as well stay with your operator or TIM.
