Vodafone won our award for 4G availability, with our testers finding an LTE connection Vodafone's 4G availability grew nearly 4 percentage points from Our results show TIM in second place with Wind and 3 Italia have begun to combine their networks in selected regions in recent months as part of their merger, moving cell capacity and infrastructure across networks. We may well be seeing the impact of that integration in our Wind results, but not in 3's, as Wind Tre could be assigning 3 Italia cell sites and capacity to the Wind network.
Vodafone also topped our 4G speed table, registering average LTE download speeds of Growth in 4G speeds in Italy seems to be somewhat faltering, however, as both TIM and 3 Italia saw their average speeds in our measurements stay virtually stagnant at Fourth-placed Wind grew its own 4G speed by some 2 Mbps in our tests but remains well behind the pack at Italy's operators have launched larger data bundles and unlimited offers over the past year in anticipation of the entry of Iliad's Free, stimulating consumer data use. But such a spike in data use could contribute to network congestion, stalling 4G download speed growth.
Our award for 4G upload speed in Italy also landed with Vodafone — although the margins between the operators were a lot tighter in this category. Vodafone won with an average tested upstream speed of Upload speeds are generally considerably lower than download speeds as current 4G technology standards are focused on users who wish to consume content.

However, as mobile internet trends move towards user-generated content and real-time communications services, upload has become vital. TIM won our 3G download speed category, with Vodafone falling to third place after the two drew in this metric in our last Italy report.
Our testers on TIM's network registered average 3G speeds of 7 Mbps, a significant increase on the 6 Mbps it scored in our last test period. Vodafone's 3G speed held steady, allowing 3 Italia to move into second place with a score of 6.

TIM's sprint to the lead in the 3G speed race was not enough to see it catch Vodafone on our overall speed metric, which factors in the combined speeds of operators' 3G and 4G networks and the level of access to each technology. Vodafone's superior overall speed score of TIM led our 4G latency metric with our testers finding an average response rate of 35 milliseconds, beating Vodafone's score of 38ms.

In our 3G latency category, TIM was able to pull ahead of Vodafone, with our metrics showing an average response rate of 56 ms, ahead of Vodafone's 62 ms. As its national results would imply, Vodafone led the 4G speed and availability metrics in our regional analysis of 10 of Italy's largest cities.
However, the operator drew with TIM in five cities in our 4G speed measurements, while in the 4G availability metric there were seven draws. TIM's dominance of 4G latency at a national level was also reflected in our regional data, which showed the operator came top in nine out of the 10 cities we measured. TIM and Vodafone were way ahead of the other two operators who both had scores of over 50ms. However, the two leading operators now face a new challenge from a newly-merged Wind Tre and the disruptive new entrant Iliad's Free. Whether these new challengers will be able to catch up with the two leaders in our metrics remains to be seen, but our next few reports on the Italian market will certainly make for interesting reading.
France's Iliad ventures into Italy with low-price mobile offer | Reuters
Our Methodology OpenSignal measures the real-world experience of consumers on mobile networks as they go about their daily lives. We collect 3 billion individual measurements every day from tens of millions of smartphones worldwide. The offer, available to the first million clients, includes 30 gigabytes of traffic and unlimited voice minutes and text messaging, he said, adding he expected to reach the one million threshold fairly quickly. The package also includes 2 GB of data for roaming in Europe.
Entering the Italian telecoms market will be a major test for the French group, already pressured by fierce competition at home.
Iliad missed quarterly revenue forecasts earlier this month, triggering a management rejig to try to revive growth. Iliad attacked the French market in a similar way, offering mobile packages at cut-throat prices to the first 3 million customers. The price did not change afterwards. The offer in France met with almost instant success thanks to prices 50 percent to 80 percent lower than those offered by established players, companies that Iliad founder Xavier Niel accused publicly of ripping off consumers.
