How to check your fiber eligibility at each operator ?

Much faster than the ADSL (in price and descendant debit) and offered at very competitive prices for most Internet access providers, optical fiber is now available in many municipalities, with a total coverage of the very high speed territory by 2025.

However, fiber offers vary from one operator to another, as well as their respective coverage of the territory, unequal according to the investments committed. It is therefore necessary to first carry out a Optical fiber eligibility test which will give you your eligibility in each operator.

Why the fiber test indicates that I am not yet eligible for fiber optics ?

Many investments are still to be made, both by private operators and by public actors in order to offer very high speed to the entire population.

However, the very high speed France plan relayed by each department in its territorial Digital Directorate of Digital Planning (SDTAN), plans in the medium term (2022 to 2030) to connect the entire population to very high speed (mainly via fiber optics FTTH).

In this interval, we recommend that you regularly perform the above fiber tests, cities and neighborhoods being gradually connected by operators (or RIP).

Does the eligibility test indicate the internet debit to the address ?

Eligible flows are variable according to your home zone, the very high speed technology used, or according to offers subscribed to the Internet supplier.

For example, descending speeds available at the FTTH fiber (to the subscriber) can reach 1 GB/s, as well as for FTTLA offers (up to the foot of the building). In terms of amounts, the best results are obtained with the FTTH network which can potentially offer quasi-symmetrical flows.

Each fiber above test should reveal the maximum flow rate in each operator to which you are eligible according to the associated offer.

The pooling of optical fiber

The eligibility of your accommodation is based on the deployment of fiber optic networks made by network operators or via public initiative networks (RIP) in more rural areas. To promote access to networks, infrastructure operators in private initiative areas are obliged to allow access to other Internet suppliers wishing to offer their offers in your city.

Another information, when an operator is in charge of deploying the network in your building, the latter must also comply with certain conditions in order to guarantee access to all operators. The operator in charge of deployment must thus ask other operators if they wish to offer their fiber offers in the building.
