DSL around the world - Italy: Encyclopedia II - DSL around the world - Italy

ADSL has in theory been available in Italy for a number of years, and has been very widely publicised; but in practice has to now (Sept 2004) been limited by an apparently low technical competence of the telecoms companies, which consumers continue to tolerate. Consumer expectations are heavily conditioned by decades of poor service, delays, random cuts and the alleged technical and commercial ineptitude that was typical of the entire communications ...

ADSL has in theory been available in Italy for a number of years, and has been very widely publicised; but in practice has to now (Sept 2004) been limited by an apparently low technical competence of the telecoms companies, which consumers continue to tolerate. Consumer expectations are heavily conditioned by decades of poor service, delays, random cuts and the alleged technical and commercial ineptitude that was typical of the entire communications sector, a state monopoly until very recently.

Recent liberalisation of the market has brought much hype and little change.
