Cultural Tip

In Italy telecom operators often market 'offerte triple play' (internet, TV, telefono) as 'pacchetti'. The term is neutral, but in advertising you’ll also hear 'offerta completa' or 'pacchetto tutto incluso'. When speaking with a sales representative, using the plural 'i pacchetti' sounds natural and professional.
