ADSL

Vivodi's main business is internet services, and ADSL is its main product for private customers.

Firstly, Vivodi offers ADSL lines by utilizing the unbundling of the local loop (LLU

Vivodi also offers ADSL nationally, as an ISP on OTE's ADSL network, with data rates up to 2 Mbit/s (which used to be OTE's maximum).

Although it is a relatively new player in the market, the company has acquired about 15% of the Greek ADSL subscribers.

VoIP

Vivodi offers a VoIP service, DSLphone, to all its ADSL over LLU customers, thus giving them the opportunity to have a fixed phone without having to pay for an OTE's fixed phone line.

Vivodi provides DSLphone subscribers with a free Tilgin Vood 453w device, which is a wireless ADSL2+ router and VoIP gateway at the same time.

Triple Play

Vivodi is one of the first ISPs in the Greek market to offer triple-play services through its ADSL2+ network, currently offering up to 20 Mbit/s (there is speculation whether this is possible or just a marketing ploy as all advertising stresses that data rates are largely dependent on quality of lines in the customers area - Vivodi guarantees 4 Mbit) , IPTV (the service has been incorrectly named "Vivodi CableTV", in fact, it is an IPTV-based Triple Play service) and unlimited national telephony (via VoIP) .
