Are you still stuck on pages that load at a snail's pace? Tired of endless waiting times and constantly jerking videos?
If so, it’s high time to switch to fiber optics! Offering blazing speed and a stable connection, leaving the limited performance of ADSL far behind
But given the multitude of offers available, how can you choose the one best suited to your needs? This is what we are going to see.
Carefully assess your needs
Before subscribing to a fiber offer, it is important to carefully assess your needs .
In terms of flow
- How many concurrent users ?
- What types of uses ? (streaming, video games, downloading large files, etc.)
- What flow rate is necessary for optimal comfort?
For typical family use with 2-3 connected devices, a speed of 1 Gb/s is sufficient. On the other hand, for large data consumers or households with several online players, you will need to opt for a speed of 2 Gb/s or more.
Wi-Fi
- What Wi-Fi coverage is needed? (individual house, large or small apartment, etc.)
- How many devices connect to Wi-Fi at the same time?
- Which Wi-Fi technology is the best?
For a large area or intensive use of Wi-Fi, it is important to choose a box with Wi -Fi 6 (or Wi-Fi 7 if available) and Wi-Fi repeaters may be necessary to extend network coverage .
What services
- What services are important to you? (landline telephone, television, customer service, etc.)
- What options are included in the offers? (online storage, anti-virus, etc.)
Some operators offer services included in their offers, such as unlimited landline telephony, a package of TV channels or a cloud service. Take the time to compare the different offers to choose the one that best suits your needs.
In terms of contract
- Do you want a contract with commitment or without commitment ?
- What is your budget ?
Commitment offers are generally cheaper than no-commitment offers, but they require you to stay with the operator for a certain period of time.
Pay attention to your eligibility
Before subscribing to a fiber offer, it is crucial to check your eligibility . In fact, not all homes can yet be connected to optical fiber.
Fortunately, it is possible to save time thanks to a fiber offer comparator . They allow you to save time by integrating this step directly into their process.
Indeed, after having entered your address, the comparator automatically checks your eligibility and only displays the offers available to you.
This saves you from wasting time visiting the websites of each operator and ensuring that fiber is accessible in your area.
In addition to this valuable time saving , fiber offer comparators also allow you to:
- Compare all offers in a few clicks, without having to visit the websites of each operator.
- Find the offer best suited to your needs based on your search criteria (speed, Wi-Fi, services, price, etc.).
- Take advantage of advantageous prices by comparing offers from all operators.
- Subscribe to an offer easily by following the comparator's instructions.
How to change operator?
If you are not satisfied with your current operator, you can change operators and switch to fiber.
It's very simple: just subscribe to a fiber offer with another operator and ask them to port your landline number .
Portability is free and your new line will be activated within 10 days .
Do I have optical fiber in my area?
Before subscribing to a fiber offer, it is essential to check your eligibility. You can do this by using a fiber offer comparator, as specified in the article. These comparators allow you to enter your address and find out if your home can be connected to optical fiber.
Do I need a Wi-Fi repeater?
If you have a large area or use Wi-Fi extensively, a Wi-Fi repeater may be necessary to extend network coverage. It is important to choose a repeater compatible with your internet box.
