The group belonging to the British magnate Richard Branson has announced the arrival in Italy of Virgin Fibra.Thanks to the agreement signed with Open Fiber, users residing in the areas covered by the service can take out an FTTH subscription for 29.49 euros / month.The company therefore enters a very competitive market, where it is possible to find very interesting offers, such as that of Iliad.Virgin Fibra's offer includes a FTTH (Fiber-To-The-Home) connection in GPON technology with maximum speeds of 1 Gbps in download and 300 Mbps in upload (the minimum guaranteed speeds are 100 and 12 Mbps, respectively).The activation fee is 19.99 euros.A Wi-Fi 6 modem is also available on free loan, but the user can use a proprietary modem with a Gigabit Ethernet WAN port, to which the external ONT will be connected.The British firm promises a fixed price, zero asterisks and a clear bill.After checking the coverage on the official website (corresponds to that of Open Fiber), the user must wait for the technician to arrive.The modem is installed next to the entry point for fiber optic cables into the home.If a farther point is chosen (distance greater than 5 meters) an additional cost of 61.99 euros will be charged.Other optional post-activation services are available.Virgin Fibra is especially suitable for users who do not have and do not want a fixed telephone line.Portability is not provided, so in case of migration the current phone number will be lost when the service is activated.Those who want to keep the number must choose another offer, such as that of Iliad (23.99 euros / month or 15.99 euros / month for existing mobile customers).Mario Rossetti, CEO of Open Fiber, said:We are happy that Virgin Fibra, a brand of the Virgin group, has chosen Open Fiber as a partner for its entry into the Italian market.This is a choice that confirms not only the technological excellence of the FTTH network, but also the validity of our wholesale-only business model.With a neutral infrastructure open to all operators, the conditions are created for the development of increasingly innovative services also by new players.This article contains affiliate links: purchases or orders placed through these links will allow our site to receive a commission.Luca Colantuoni Published on 22 Aug 2022
