By Orange Internet Livebox fibre offers
France's fibre network now covers 93.5% of properties nationally (ARCEP, Q3 2025), making fibre the default option for most expats settling in France. All Orange Livebox plans include a TV service, a fixed-line phone number, and a modern router.
The copper (ADSL/VDSL) network is being progressively shut down: if you're still on it, cancelling your ADSL contract and switching to fibre is worth doing sooner rather than later.
Which Livebox plan should you choose?
- →Livebox Classic Fibre: Best for most households. Up to 2 Gbit/sdown / 800 Mbit/s up. From 29,99€/month (then 42,99€/month). Solid everyday performance, nothing excessive.
- →Série Spéciale Livebox Lite Fibre: Best if budget is your main criterion. Fewer features, but TV is included at the lowest price point (29,99€/month). Can reach up to 1 Gbit/s down / 700 Mbit/s up.
- →Livebox Up Fibre:: Best for power users or large households. Up to 8 Gbit/s: symmetrical, Wi-Fi 7, premium router. From 39,99€/month: (then 51,99€/month:). Only worth it if you have multiple heavy users or work from home intensively.
- →Livebox Max Fibre: Best if you want everything bundled. Up to 8 Gbit/s:, enhanced TV pack and mobile perks included. From 47,99€/month (then 57,99€/month:). Skip it unless you plan to add an Open mobile plan: that's where it pays off.
Orange 4G Home & 5G+ Home Internet Offers
If fibre isn't available at your address, or you just moved in and can't wait for an installation appointment, Orange's Flybox plans are a practical fallback. Both are plug-and-play: insert the SIM, plug in the box, done. No technician, no waiting.
- →Box 4G Home: Best for rural areas or temporary situations where fibre simply isn't an option. Speeds up to 300 Mbit/s via the 4G network. Reliable for everyday browsing and streaming, but not ideal for heavy multi-device households. From 42,99€/month.
- →Box 5G+ Home: Best if you're in a 5G+ covered area and can't get fibre. Speeds up to 1 Gbit/s down / 100 Mbit/s up, Wi-Fi 7, and automatic fallback to 4G if 5G signal drops. Without engagement. From 42,99€/month.
💡 Good to know
Home availability depends entirely on Orange's 5G+ coverage at your specific address. Always check the Orange coverage map before subscribing, because 5G coverage can vary significantly between streets in the same town.
Orange Pocket 4G Internet: Let’s Go and Prêt-à-surfer Offers
Not ready for a fixed-line contract? Orange's portable Airbox plans let you get online immediately, with no installation and no long-term commitment. You get a small WiFi hotspot device that connects to the 4G or 5G network: plug it in anywhere, connect up to 10 devices.
Which option suits you?
- →Let's Go (from €14.99/month, no contract): Best for students, expats on short-term assignments, or anyone making regular trips within France. 3 data tiers: 10 GB, 40 GB or 80 GB/month. Includes access to 70 Orange TV channels and Orange Wi-Fi hotspots across France. Data valid in EU, DOM, Switzerland and Andorra. Airbox hardware optional at €79.90.
- →Prêt-à-surfer (from €14.90 one-time): Best for very short stays or occasional use. Prepaid SIM with 10 GB included, rechargeable (5 GB to 35 GB top-ups available). Airbox + SIM bundle available at €59.90.
- →SIM-only (€1 at sign-up): Best if you already own a 4G-compatible tablet or router. Just pop in the SIM and subscribe to whichever Let's Go tier fits your usage.
💡 Good to know
Let's Go plans currently run on 4G only, not 5G, even if you purchase the 5G Airbox hardware. If you need higher speeds at home, the 5G+ Home box is the right option instead.

Orange combined Internet + mobile plans: Orange Open offers
If you're settling in France and need both a home internet box and a mobile plan, bundling them with Orange is the most straightforward option. The Avantage Open discount applies automatically: you save between €3 and €15/month on each mobile plan, and can attach up to 5 mobile lines to a single Livebox, useful if you're moving with a partner or family.
Why it makes sense for expats:
- →One bill, one provider: easier to manage if you're still setting up your finances in France or dealing with administrative complexity as a new arrival.
- →Discount stacks with multiple lines: each additional mobile line linked to the same Livebox gets its own reduction. The higher the mobile plan, the bigger the saving.
- →Already have an Orange mobile plan? Subscribing to a Livebox still qualifies you for the Avantage Open discount on your existing mobile line. No need to start from scratch.
- →Network reliability: Orange is ranked France's #1 mobile network by ARCEP (2025), leading on 251 out of 258 measured criteria. Worth paying a slight premium over low-cost operators if connection quality matters to you.
Not worth it if: you only need a SIM card for a short stay, or if you're considering Sosh (Orange's no-frills sub-brand). Sosh plans are not eligible for the Avantage Open discount.
💡 Good to know
Even if you already have a mobile line with Orange, adding an internet box still gives you a discount. Just check that your current mobile plan is eligible for the Avantage Open benefit. Make sure your fixed-line address is covered by the type of internet you choose (fibre or 4G home as fallback).

Orange Internet in France: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest Orange internet plan in France? Read more Close
The most affordable option is the Série Spéciale Livebox Lite Fibre, designed for budget-conscious users (29,99€/month). It includes TV and runs on Orange's fibre network. If fibre isn't available at your address, the Box 5G Home (42,99€/month) is the next cheapest fixed alternative. For temporary stays, the Let's Go portable plan starts at €14.99/month with no commitment.
Can I get an Orange internet plan in France without a French phone number? Read more Close
Yes. Orange allows you to subscribe to a Livebox fibre plan without an existing French phone number. You will receive a fixed-line number as part of your plan. Selectra's advisors can also guide you through the subscription process in English, which is particularly useful if you have just arrived in France and are still setting up your administrative situation.
Is Orange internet available everywhere in France? Read more Close
France's fibre network covers 93.5% of properties nationally (ARCEP, Q3 2025), and Orange is one of the main operators behind this rollout. In areas not yet covered by fibre, Orange offers a Box 4G Home or Box 5G+ Home as an alternative. For rural or very remote addresses, checking your eligibility at your specific address before subscribing is always recommended.
Is it worth bundling internet and mobile with Orange? Read more Close
Yes, if you plan to stay in France long-term and need both services. The Avantage Open discount saves you between €3 and €15/month per mobile line, and you can attach up to 5 lines to a single Livebox. It is not worth it if you are on a short stay, or if you are considering Sosh - Orange's low-cost sub-brand - as Sosh plans are not eligible for the Avantage Open discount.
What internet options does Orange offer for expats in France without a fixed address? Read more Close
If you don't yet have a permanent address or are moving around frequently, the Let's Go portable Airbox plan (from €14.99/month, no contract) is the most flexible option. It works via the 4G network, requires no installation, and covers you across France and the EU. For occasional use, the prepaid Prêt-à-surfer pack is an even lighter commitment. Both options can be upgraded to a fixed Livebox plan once you have a permanent address.
