After months of rumors and advances it seems that the time has really come to see Iliad's adventure in the fixed telephony sector materialized. The operator will launch its offer for fiber shortly by the end of January .
According to the news that has just emerged online, Iliad will rely exclusively on Open Fiber for the network infrastructure on which its offer for fiber will be based. This is clearly not good news for those who live in areas not served by Open Fiber, and Iliad's choice could leverage on a dual aspect: Open Fiber ensures high quality for FTTH, with a high download speed (Iliad will probably offer at least 1 Gbps in download) and a very low failure rate , compared to what an FTTC with the last part in copper.
Furthermore, by choosing Open Fiber, Iliad could have obtained a better price from the network operator than what it could have obtained from FiberCop, the provider managed by TIM. This will lead, we all hope, Iliad to launch its offer for fiber with a very competitive price , a bit like what happened for the mobile offers .
Therefore, it seems to us established that the Open Fiber coverage will correspond to the coverage of the Iliad fiber , at least from the start. At this address you can check if your home is reached by Open Fiber.
