FASTWEB S.p.A. (formerly FastWeb S.p.A.) 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 is a subsidiary of the Swiss telecommunication company Swisscom AG.[1][2]

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