Iliad lands on fixed lines: the (convenient) offer for Internet at home

Iliad launches its fiber optic offer and lands on fixed lines with an extremely convenient rate in terms of price: 15.99 euros per month with no other hidden costs (but only for Iliad mobile users with automatic payment). After revolutionizing the smartphone connection market in Italy in the last three years, gaining the trust of 8.5 million users, the operator led in Italian by Benedetto Levi and controlled by the French holding founded by Xavier Niel, is trying the leap into home networks leaning on the net Open Fiber, waiting to implement integration with Tim’s nascent FiberCoop, Kkr fund and Fastweb.

In addition to the price, there are also the performance: iliad fiber, whose service passes through Open Fiber, in fact, allows to reach download speed up to 5 Gbit / s and in upload fino a 700 Mbit/s. By choosing to launch a 100% fiber service ftth, that is, that only home connections will be needed, “iliad – explains a note – gives users the certainty of always having the best technology available at their address and helps to accelerate Italy’s transition towards true ultra-broadband connectivity and the progressive disappearance of copper connections”.

The iliadbox, ie the iliad router, was developed 100% internally by the research and development team, both for the hardware and for the software. Target: fight theplanned obsolescence of electronic devices that cause pollution and unnecessary expenses for users: this is why the iliadbox has been designed and tested to last at least 10 years. Not only that: it has a decidedly original design compared to the routers of other operators, it arrives packaged in a minimal and eco-sustainable packaging.

In detail, the iliad offer costs 15.99 euros per month for iliad mobile users with automatic payment, otherwise 23.99 per month. The price is guaranteed forever, in the sense that the company undertakes never to retouch it, as happens with the rates for the smartphone. The declared speed is up to 5 Gbit / s overall in download, 700 Mbit / s in upload for 6 million real estate units (in addition to 1 Gbit / s in download and 300 Mbit / s in upload for a further 1.4 million real estate units) . The iliadbox is on loan for free use and the offer also includes unlimited minutes to fixed and mobile numbers in Italy and to landlines in more than 60 countries around the world.

«We have very ambitious goals – explains Levi – the offer could be interesting for a large number of users in Italy. On the other hand, even 8.5 million mobile users are certainly not a point of arrival. What we can say today is that we will only see positive impacts on the 2022 accounts “. Answering a question from Vanity Fair Levi adds some details on the rates: “To take advantage of the 15.99 offer you must have an active mobile plan, that is, one that has connected a payment system – explains the CEO – but you can also subscribe at the same time a new mobile Sim together with the fiber subscription to get immediately the rate at 15.99. Or, in the meantime, start with the full rate at 23.99 and then, when you also subscribe to a Sim or associate an automatic payment method with an old Sim, the price will drop as expected to 15.99 “.
