Information meeting on Thursday, November 7th from 2 pm to 4 pm in the Marianne room, with an expert. This meeting will focus on the end of the copper network and its replacement by optical fiber in Villeneuve d'Ascq
A gradual change that began in 2019
Since 2019, France has begun deploying fibre optic networks across the country to replace aging copper network infrastructure. This project aims to modernise Internet access and fixed telephony, with significantly improved performance.
What impact for Villeneuve d'Ascq?
In Villeneuve d'Ascq, the end of the marketing of subscriptions using the copper network is scheduled for early 2025, with a complete shutdown of services on this network in 2026. This means that by then all internet access and fixed telephony services still connected to the copper network will be permanently interrupted.
What should users do?
For the inhabitants still connected to the copper network, the upcoming change will be mainly at the level of their subscription. It will be necessary to contact their Internet or telephone service provider to assess their needs and subscribe to a fibre-compatible offer.
This meeting will be an opportunity to answer all the questions and support users in this important technological transition.
