Almost tempted to try it because I'm going to the Amalfi Coast and according to TIM's site, they actually have more towns covered with LTE:

Here is a their LTE page translated:

And from there, if I check Campania, Salerno for LTE coverage, it shows Amalfi is one of the towns that is covered ("CAP coperti"):

But here, it shows Amalfi has no UMTS or HSPA, just EDGE or GPRS:

(Odd thing is towns to the east and west of Amalfi on the coast there have UMTS and HSPA coverage, so maybe it's in between the footprints of a couple of base stations or something, though it's odd, Amalfi is one of the bigger towns there).

Price are higher than last year, when I got the Internet Large 42.2 plan with 10 GB for 25 Euro with the 5 Euro activation waived.

Now, you go from 20 Euro for 5 GB to 30 Euro for 10 GB, no activation fee waiver.

Maybe there will be some kind of promotion, though I will be in about 2 weeks so unlikely.

But it's good to see them rolling it out at least.
