France: 72 EUR / month ($80) for 2 Gbit/s down // 600 Mbit/s up (router doesn't have any SFP port though and ethernet ports aren't 2.5 Gbit/s, so it's advertized as 1 Gbit/s down per machine max)

Luxemburg: 42 EUR / month ($46) for 500 MBit/s down // 250 Mbit/s up

Fiber to the home is becoming a reality in many countries... House in France is in a very remote area and yet there's fiber even there, since a few months.

Building in Luxemburg has an impressive (and beautiful) fiber optic rack in a dedicated room, next to the garages, from which all the apartments are dispatched (new building, wired with fiber for everybody from day one).



Which provider do you use in France?

I have Free, 40€/month for 2.5 Gbps (and an SPF in the box (a Delta)). I do not have 1+ Gbps equipement so I have 1000/600 Mbps (measured).

The contract also includes TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Canal+ Series for a year. And a landline.

After a year the price will be I Think 50€, but I will change the provider of I do not get a good deal.

The cheaper dilution is about 20€/month for 200 Mbps IIRC.
