Orange begins the gradual dismantling of the ADSL network: what this will change for users. Optical fiber is, moreover, less sensitive to climatic hazards and is intended to consume less energy than ADSL.

“We will have 98% of homes connected to fiber in 2025,” assures Renaud Kayanakis, telecoms specialist at SIA Partners. To date, only 75% of eligible households have opted for optical fiber. For all those who have not taken the initiative when the copper network is disconnected, alternatives will nevertheless be available.
