We are currently paying Orange 30 EUR pm for an ancient 4mbs connection. Surprisingly, it works reasonably well for our occasional needs. Last year I was surprised I didn’t need to unsuspend the Ligne Fixe at all but I guess the connection is independent.

Cheers
Our Orange Fibre contract at home is 50,99 EUR/month.

Without warning in late June this year (2023) Orange’s subcontractor in our area (14500), Sogetrel, installed the 1100m of fibre from the main road to our hameau of 4 houses. A couple of weeks later they installed the termination box from whence individual clients are connected.
Although we (nor my nearest neighbour) never received a direct notification that fibre was now on offer I did notice it was an option when organising the swap of our Livebox after it got fried by lightning 4 weeks ago.
I finally got around to applying for fibre (via Sosh’s website) on a Wednesday evening, 23/08/2023. I had instant acknowledgment of my order, & asked to set a rendezvous for the connection, which could have been as early as the following Wednesday! Due to a previous commitment I pushed that to the following …

Have you checked here?

Actually, even a faster cheaper ADSL might do, but if I arrive and there are tech probs that’s no good. At least I know that Orange works.

Ouch.
It’s still just a tad expensive for me at 40pm. But for heavy users gotta be worth a look?
Couple of very recent threads on here.

We’ve got calls to mobiles outside of France, included in that as an extra, which is why it is more than the default.
