Fastweb is an Italian telecommunications company that provides fixed and mobile telephony, broadband Internet and IPTV services. It is also one of the prominent companies in Italy providing FTTH connections, and it is part of Fastweb + Vodafone, as a subsidiary of Swiss telecommunications group Swisscom.

In May 2007, Swisscom paid 3 billion euros for 82.4% of Fastweb. Swisscom subsequently bought out the minority shareholders after making a voluntary tender offer in September 2010. Therefore, Fastweb has been delisted from Borsa Italiana.

On December 31, 2024, Swisscom acquired Vodafone Italy with the goal of merging it with Fastweb to create Fastweb + Vodafone.
