BEST OPTIONS FOR INTERNET ACCESS IN ITALY? I recently purchased an apartment in Montalcino and plan on renting out the property on a weekly basis. I am trying to figure out the best option for getting internet for the property. Dedicated DSL appears to require you to have both an Italian credit card (check!) but also an Italian ID card in order to secure a 2 year contract. Month to month contracts worry me because overage rates are pretty high and given the unknown of amount used by renters, think this might not work. Can anyone provide any guidance based on experience? Many thanks in advance!!

You basically have to have what you can get - some places will not get fixed line coverage, in which case you are dependent on mobile or wimax or sat. if you have a fixed line you will have problems with the billing system - even if its not an Italian card they will want they call 'domiciliazione' of your card, which requires an Itlaian card... one of the classic catch 22 Italian conundrums. You do not need Italian ID. You could try Fastweb if that is available or Vodafone fixed adsl which tend to be more flexible than Telecom. in some parts of the norht there is even BT. Plump for a data only unlimited deal which will not allow voice calls and has no cap. Then you are paying a fixed fee every month with no surprises.
