An update to my "Quick user report on TIM's SuperGiga 5 GB summer promotion." comment posted June 29 here: http://prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Italy/@comment-Euromobile-20160623213139?permalink=12359#comm-12359 (5 GB data for 19 Euros valid over 3 months).

The SIM is still working almost 60 days after purchase.

I've only used 165 MB of the 5 GB allocated, mainly because I've only used it for maybe half an hour once a week while traveling between Como and Mendrisio (in Switzerland), and once further inland to Lugano.

The SIM in my Huawei mobile router does not always lock on to the TIM network but has the annoying tendency to stick onto Swisscom roaming, for which the SIM has no data package (it would be far too expensive to buy one in any case).

But today, taking two busses, first from a hillside Swiss town down to Mendrisio train station and then onto Chiasso bordering Italy, I had an uninterrupted TIM connection, no roaming despite being well within Swiss territory. Two weeks ago the situation was the SIM in the router refused to lock on the TIM signal that existed at Mendrisio (one of my mobile phones was on TIM at full strength), and I could not get a TIM connection at my usual hill side Swiss town (that has a clear view of the Italian mobile antennae), so who knows?

Two weeks ago I also suffered lack of TIM connection inside Como, for about 5 minutes, but today I had no connection breaks at all for the whole 50 minute bus journey.

About four weeks ago I had intermittent connection while inside a train traveling from Mendrisio towards Chiasso, and I noticed websites were quite sluggish, compared to fixed line ADSL and cable connections, and also compared to today with TIM mobile when the same websites were reasonably responsive, although never as fast as fixed line.
