Technology: The offer would be the fastest in the French market and even European, says the troublemaker. It remains to determine the number of eligible customers … this autouroute ARCEP also pin the operator.
small revolution in Free? The operator ad in effect moving the FTTH (fiber to the home) to 1 Gb / s download and 200 Mb / s upload, and without price change.
new customers and existing customers will automatically benefit from this supersonic speed. With this increase in rates, Free allows “to qualifying customers enjoy the fastest rate in Europe for a public offering,” triumph operator.
Free promises to be positioned at the level of the operator faster, Orange and Bouygues Telecom offer 200 Mb / s, SFR offers 300 Mb / s (but the operator has announced that it aligned. ..)
Attack against Numericable
troublemaker not also deprives no mock competition “other fiber operators have chosen an architecture GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) where the flow is shared between households and cable operators which part of only network is optical fiber (the final part is coaxial cable) do not provide dedicated speeds as high, technology is close to DSL technologies. “
Here
that will please Numericable which nevertheless offers of 200 Mb / s in the biggest cities of France and he explained to us a few months ago on the floor 1 Gb / s. “It will come,” confided to us do we. And remember that the modernization of infrastructure Numericable can “climb” up to 4 Gb / s.
remains the question of eligibility. Car Free does not communicate on the number of eligible households in its fiber, or the number of customers very high speed. I must say that the operator has taken the pressure off in terms of vertical deployments (in buildings) and even made buildings to competition after signing.
At the same time, its market share in the recruitment of FTTH customers would be very low, making the wholesale in Orange (60% of new FTTH in the second quarter).
therefore difficult to know how many clients genuinely concerned by the announcement that some of its competitors is primarily communication.
Moreover, ARCEP, the telecoms regulator, said Tuesday night that the Free ads were “likely to mislead users.” The Authority do not go around the bush and denounces “the partial and sometimes inaccurate” supply.
“Except that Free has invested heavily in August and September 2013, in the improvement of interconnection capacity, announcements of date does not match the experience of the users who will view online video “said ARCEP thus confirming the weak operator investments in fiber.
to explain that the rate is announced “depends not only on the design of the access network that communicates Free today, but also depends on the design of its entire infrastructure (collection, interconnection … ). “
ARCEP therefore reframes Free sharply, a rare attitude to authority visibly annoyed by this “announcement”.
