Replacing your ADSL connections with fiber or 4G
The copper network is being switched off gradually across France. GET Conseil, as an internet service provider, supports you through the switch: FTTH fiber as a priority, professional 4G access when fiber isn't available yet.
Why act now
A shutdown already well under way
Tight timeline
Commercial then technical shutdown, town by town, until the copper network disappears entirely by 2030 — several thousand more towns scheduled for 2027.A shutdown with no individual notice
Once the technical shutdown happens, the ADSL line simply stops working — with no fallback if nothing has been planned.A controlled switchover
Planned ahead, the migration happens with no service interruption — done in a rush, it exposes the business to an outright outage.Our solution
Fiber as a priority, 4G as a fallback
FTTH Fiber
- Priority solution wherever it is available.
- Significantly faster than ADSL, often for a similar cost.
- Installation and setup managed end to end.
Professional 4G
- Fallback solution when fiber hasn't been rolled out at the site yet.
- Robust enough to carry a business's internet connection.
- A GET Conseil solution ready to deploy, as an internet service provider.

Frequently asked questions
What our clients ask us
Is the copper network really going to shut down?
Yes. Arcep and Orange are running a national schedule to shut down the copper network, town by town, with a stated goal of removing the copper line across France by 2030.What happens to my ADSL line when copper shuts down in my town?
It stops working. You need to switch to FTTH fiber if it's available at the site, or to professional 4G access if fiber hasn't been rolled out yet.How do I know if fiber is available at my site?
GET Conseil carries out a fiber/4G coverage and eligibility study before proposing the best-suited solution for each site.What happens if nothing is done before the shutdown?
The line is cut once the shutdown takes effect in the town: landline phones, payment terminals, alarms or internet boxes connected via ADSL stop working.Service area
