Data in Trastevere

Please help decide which data stick to buy.
My daughter is in Rome for the semester. She was told that different providers have different strength signal in different areas. She lives in the Trastevere area. Would Wind be strong enough for her? Their plan seems to be very reasonable.

HI
being in center of Rome all operators will have good coverage, Wind as well, and has very good data packages on pre paid sim. Just aks your daughter to visit any Wind shop to buy the sim and activate data plan.
Ciao

I don't know, way out in the boondocks of the Trastevere it might be a little on the fringe. I think she might need a satellite phone.

Seriously, thats like asking if they have decent service in Markham or Mississagua.

Since it seems that you are looking for a laptop data connection, another good possibility might be a WiFi account and a good WiFi adapter. There are hundreds (thousands?) of WiFi hotspots in Rome.
