The successful acquisition of Vodafone Italia on 31 December 2024 marked the emergence of a new leader in the Italian telecommunications market and significantly expanded the scale of the Swisscom Group. Following the transaction, Fastweb + Vodafone’s share of Group revenue increased from 25% to 46%, further strengthening the Swisscom Group as a whole. Fastweb and Vodafone Italia were legally merged on 1 January 2026.
The best of both worlds
The launch of the first joint Fastweb + Vodafone product portfolio for residential customers represented more than a symbolic milestone in the integration process. The portfolio combines the best of Fastweb’s fixed network and Vodafone Italia’s mobile connectivity as well as energy and digital services. This comprehensive offer for families marks the first step towards a new ecosystem designed to simplify everyday life, create trust, and build lasting relationships. The services of both the Fastweb and Vodafone commercial brands are now available in all sales outlets in Italy.
The migration of Fastweb’s mobile customers to the Vodafone Italia mobile network has been almost completed, extending access to the country’s highest-performing mobile network to the entire customer base.
Robust networks for the digital transformation
Robust networks are a key prerequisite for successfully realising Italy’s digital transformation. As of the end of 2025, Fastweb + Vodafone covered 56% of households and businesses in Italy with FTTH, while its mobile network reached 89% of the population with 5G. Fastweb + Vodafone operates Italy’s best fixed and mobile 5G network, providing the foundation for a future-ready digital society.
