When fiber optics is available

When fiber optics is available, will I be required to purchase a fiber subscription?
No. Nothing obliges you to subscribe to a Very High Speed ​​subscription if your ADSL subscription is suitable for your uses. The easiest way is to contact an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and compare the offers.

Who pays for the fiber connection from the limit of the public domain to the interior of the dwelling?
It is up to the inhabitant to make the request to his access provider and to bear the costs.

Note: the cost of installation is regularly offered by access providers as part of commercial offers.

My accommodation appears eligible, but when the access provider came to install the fiber, it was unable to do so because of the impossibility of passing through the sheath.
The reason is undoubtedly the deterioration of the old France Telecom network borrowed by the operator to serve housing. This network may have deteriorated over time or due to work carried out in the sector which resulted in a breakage or plugging of the sheath.

There are two cases:

Breakage is located in the public domain: in this case, the repair is the responsibility of the access provider who must make an intervention request to Orange, the only person authorized to intervene on its network.
Breakage is located on the private domain: in this case, it is your responsibility to restore the sheath, at your expense.
My accommodation is eligible, what steps should I take now?
As soon as your accommodation is eligible, the construction of the final connection is linked to the prior subscription of a fiber subscription with an Access Provider. This subscription is made online or in an agency.

Once the subscription has been made, a technician from the access provider will make an appointment with you to make the connection. It will create a specific fiber optic socket inside your home

Note: during your subscription, check the technical and material conditions required by the access provider to facilitate the intervention of technicians (in particular the question of the availability of sleeves)

Does the construction of a fiber optic socket lead to the elimination of the traditional telephone socket?
No, it involves installing a new socket, independent of the sockets in place. The technician cannot modify or delete the existing copper network

The stages of installing optical fiber in a house
Once the eligibility test and the choice of the supplier have been made, the future subscriber must subscribe to a fiber offer and set an appointment date for the technicians to come. The fiber installation generally lasts from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the type of installation (above or below ground) and the distance between the connection point closest to the house to the fiber optic socket.

Outside the property, technicians start by opening the room on which the house depends in order to recover the connection point.

Thanks to a pulling cable, the fiber is pulled into the sheath already used by the telephone cable.
Generally, the arrival of the sleeves is in the garage, not far from the electric meter. The customer should make sure that this location is accessible to installers and not obstructed by furniture, for example.
According to the practical or aesthetic considerations of the client and after examining the accommodation, the technicians determine the most suitable route for circulating the fiber to the fiber optic outlet: using one of the sleeves, on the plinths or even through the bulkhead.
The fiber optic plug is installed and soldered. Its location is important since it will be connected to the box. It is a question of taking into account the layout of the house but also the way in which the client wishes to connect his equipment to the box (Ethernet, WI-FI or line carrier current).
The installers configure the box and test its flow. If everything is in order, the installation is then complete.
