In the private zones of these two départements, Free Fiber's offers are already available to all the homes to which fiber has been rolled out in the agglomerations of Tours, Blois, Romorantin-Lanthenay and Vendôme - representing 238,000 homes altogether.

In early 2022, Free's consumer Fiber offers and Free Pro offers will be available to 340,000 premises in the Indre-et-Loire and the Loir-et-Cher.

In all of these areas, businesses covered by the FTTH networks and interested in Fiber are eligible for the Free Pro offer.

Additionally, Free is the only operator in France to offer 10G-EPON fiber technology1 (subject to the subscriber having a compatible plan and Freebox).
