It's not the same network. There are three providers in Switzerland. From my own experience the most expensive one (Swisscom, by whom this article is) has much better coverage in the mountaineous areas compared to the other two.



It is, Wingo is 24 CHF a month on the Swisscom network. Its also owned by Swisscom.

The main differentiation is support.

Might be a case of decoy effect in action. Swisscom (the expensive option) gets more customers by introducing a cheaper option with worse support. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decoy_effect


Well, thanks for telling me that! I went swisscom-> mbudget on my fixed line but it seems wingo offers the full 1gbs up/dow for less than I pay now for mbudget mini. Guess I'll change soon


There are two other providers, but I was referring to the Swisscom resellers, most notably Wingo (owned by Swisscom itself).
