Open Fiber (Italy) - FTTH wholesale network
#10 in Fiber Internet · Rated 4.5
Italy’s wholesale FTTH backbone powering multiple operators
Open Fiber is Italy’s wholesale-only FTTH infrastructure operator, built to connect cities, towns, and rural areas through a nationwide ultra-fast fixed network. The company markets a neutral, open-access model to access providers, enabling competition and faster rollout across Italy. The Open Fiber network has integrated with major market players and has expanded to thousands of municipalities with transmission capabilities reaching tens of gigabits per second in the core. The wholesale focus means most end-user plans come from partner ISPs, but the underlying fiber is a critical asset for Italy’s Gigabit Society push. Open Fiber emphasizes transparency, competition, and long-term concessions across dozens of regions. ([openfiber.it](https://openfiber.it/en/about-us/our-mission/?utm_source=openai))
