Open Fiber pushes Veneto FTTH uptake

Open Fiber has finalised FTTH cabling in 23 localities across the Veneto provinces of Verona and Vicenza, connecting 61,000 homes, commercial premises and offices. The rollout is paired with a €100 voucher campaign for new fibre plan subscribers, making customer activation the main next signal.

• The rollout reaches 61,000 premises across 23 localities
• A €100 voucher campaign links new coverage to customer activation

The fact

Italian wholesale-only operator Open Fiber has finalised FTTH cabling in 23 localities in Veneto, covering parts of the Verona and Vicenza provinces. The build connects 61,000 homes, commercial premises and offices to fibre infrastructure, with speeds of up to 2.5Gbps available through operator partners. New fibre plan subscribers in the connected towns can receive a €100 voucher under Open Fiber's launch campaign.

The Assessment

The update is aiming to turn newly passed premises into active connections. Open Fiber depends on retail operator partners to convert coverage into subscriptions, so the voucher campaign matters as a demand-side push. The signal is practical: in newly connected areas, fibre availability alone may not be enough without retail activation and switching incentives.

What to Watch

Watch whether partner operators report stronger sign-ups in Verona and Vicenza before the 31 January 2027 voucher deadline, and whether Open Fiber repeats the incentive in other rollout areas.
