Free boosts fibre service to 1 Gbps, Arcep takes issue

2013-10-01 17:04:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) French operator Free has raised the peak download and upload speeds of its Freebox Revolution fibre service to 1 Gbps and 200 Mbps at no extra cost. The Iliad subsidiary claims that its 1 Gbps download service is the fastest offered to European consumers to date and that its point-to-point FttH technology is preferable to GPON, chosen by other fibre operators in France, because each subscriber gets a dedicated fast broadband service rather that having to share the line between homes. In addition, Free is offering ADSL2+ and VDSL2 to eligible ADSL subscribers at no extra cost. French telecom regulator Arcep reacted shortly after Free's announcement, denouncing the misleading representation of the operator's service and describing the character of its communication as 'partial and sometimes incorrect'.
