Getting Internet for a Second Home in France
If you aren't going to be living in France all-year-round and rather only visiting France during holidays, for instance, follow our guide to find the best options to get Internet for a second home in France.
I am not eligible for fibre optic. What are the alternatives?
If you are not eligible for fibre optic, there are different ways to access the Internet.
First, internet providers still sell ADSL services for the moment, even though the copper network is being closed down in France in favour of fibre optic technologies.
Secondly, if there is a good 4G or 5G network coverage in your area, you could be interested in the 4G/5G routers sold by the main operators (Free, Bouygues, Orange, SFR). These routers convert the 4G/5G signal into Wifi. They represent an alternative solution for those who do not have access to traditional technologies.
Thirdly, for homes located in rural areas, a viable solution to get online is via satellite technology, thanks to providers such as Nordnet. Find out everything about this in our guide to satellite Internet in France.
