New free offers: Freebox Ultra available, Revolution triple-play at €30

Following the launch of Freebox Ultra, Free has just revised its list of fixed internet access offers. The Freebox Ultra logically replaces the Delta, while the Pop remains positioned in the mid-range. It’s still the indestructible Freebox Revolution that serves as the entry level, but with a revised price formula.

A common element for all subscriptions: they are without obligation and the activation and cancellation fees are €49 each.

Freebox Ultra

Let’s start with Free’s new flagship offering, Freebox Ultra. €49.99/month for one year, then €59.99/month, includes:

• 8 Gbit/s symmetrical fiber access
• Equipment
  • Server Ultra (Wi-Fi 7 compatible) + SFP+ module on request
  • Wi-Fi 7 repeater on request
  • Player TV Free 4K (Player Pop)
  • Pocket Wi-Fi (4G key) on request with 200 GB/month before connection 50 GB/month after
• Television:
  • Free by OQEE (230 TV Channels, Replay, 320 Hours Digital Recorder)
  • OQEE Cine (Unlimited Video on Demand)
  • TV by Channel (50 TV Channels)
  • Free League 1
• Services include:
  • Canal+ Channel Live
  • Disney+ standard with advertising
  • Netflix standard with advertising
  • Amazon Prime
  • Universal+
  • Caffeine
• Telephony
  • Unlimited calls to mobiles in mainland France, Europe and overseas territories and to landlines in over 110 destinations

If the included Wi-Fi 7 repeater is not enough, it is possible to have three additional ones at €20 each. Unlike the Freebox Pop offer, it’s impossible to pick up an Apple TV 4K at a preferential rate.

With Freebox Ultra, the free market sells the most expensive general public offering. Until then, it was Orange that won the prize with Livebox Max Fiber at €57.99/month (first six months at €39.99). But Freebox Ultra stands out from other high-end fiber offers with two strong arguments: 8 Gbit/s symmetrical speed (other upstream speeds do not exceed 1 Gbit/s) and numerous services included.

According to customer service, it is possible to migrate from Delta to Ultra for a fee of €49.

Freebox Ultra Essential

If you don’t spend your time in front of your television, Free offers its subscription to the Freebox Ultra Essential plan for €39.99/month for one year, then €49.99/month. This offer includes the same items as Freebox Ultra (Appliances, Television, Telephone) with the exception of streaming services. No Netflix, no Disney+, no Amazon, no Universal+, no Canal+ channels.

At €40/month for a year, then €50, it’s the same price as the old Freebox Delta offer, but the latter includes Netflix and Amazon Prime in addition. The fact is that this price of €50/month is still €52/month against Livebox Up Fiber (Livebox 6 Wi-Fi 6E, 2 Gbit/s downstream, Wi-Fi 6 repeater) and Bbox Ultym €53/month (Bbox Wi -Fi 6E, 2 Gbit/s downlink, Wi-Fi repeater, streaming services included 6 months).

Freebox Pop

Freebox Pop continues its journey into the mid-range. There is no change in price or included services. For €29.99/month for one year, then €39.99, it includes:

• Fiber access 5 Gbit/s down and 700 Mbit/s up
• Equipment
  • Server Pop (Wi-Fi 6)
  • Wi-Fi 5 repeater on request
  • Player TV Free 4K (Player Pop)
• Television:

  • OQEE Cine (Unlimited Video on Demand)
  • Free League 1
• Telephony
  • Unlimited calls to mobiles in mainland France, Europe and overseas territories and to landlines in over 110 destinations

It’s still possible to opt for Apple TV 4K instead of a free decoder for €2.99/month for four years.

Freebox Revolution Lite

The freebox revolution certainly doesn’t want to die. Launched more than ten years ago, the box is still being marketed, but under a new name. It’s now Freebox Revolution Lite, €29.99/month, including a year later. Subscription includes:

• Fiber access 1 Gbit/s down and 600 Mbit/s up
• Equipment
  • Server Revolution (Wi-Fi 5)
  • Player TV Revolution (HD TV)
• Television:
  • Freebox TV (230 channels)
  • OQEE Cinema
  • Blu-ray player
  • Free League 1
• Telephony
  • Unlimited calls to landlines to more than 110 locations

The old Freebox Revolution offer cost €19.99/month for one year, then €44.99. The new price therefore marks a return to triple-play (Internet + TV + Telephone) at 30 euros, a type of offer that has become increasingly rare in recent years.
