Today, Arcep is publishing its scorecard for the fixed broadband and superfast broadband market in France as of the end of June 2025.
ROLLOUTS: As of 30 June 2025, 93% of premises in Metropolitan France were eligible to subscribe to a fibre plan, with 3.3 million remaining to be passed
- At the end of June 2025, optical fibre coverage stood at 93%. Of the 44.9 million premises in Metropolitan France inventoried by operators, 41.6 million were passed for FttH, while 3.3 million still remained to be covered.
- The pace of rollouts held steady over the course of Q2 2025, with 520,000 additional premises passed for FttH – or 20% fewer than in Q2 2024.
- 310,000 additional premises in lower density, public-initiative areas were rendered eligible for FttH access, with 1.6 million premises remaining to be covered.
- 160,000 additional premises in lower density, private-initiative areas were rendered eligible for FttH access, with 1.1 million premises remaining to be covered.
- 30,000 additional premises were passed for FttH in those areas covered by calls for expressions of local interest (called "zones AMEL" in French), with 130,000 premises remaining to be covered.
- 20,000 additional premises in very high density areas were passed for FttH, with 480,000 premises remaining to be covered.
- As of 30 June 2025, 42.6 million premises (or 95% of inventoried premises) were covered by fixed superfast broadband services (Fibre, VDSL2, cable).
Monitoring FttH rollouts in “AMII” and “AMEL” areas
Arcep is responsible for monitoring operators’ compliance with the commitments[1] they have made, and publishes regular progress reports on their deployments.
At the end of June 2025, in those parts of the country where the Government has issued a call for investment letters of intent ("zones AMII"):
- around 94% of the premises for which Orange has made a commitment had been made eligible for fibre access;
- and around 98% of those in municipalities where SFR has made a commitment had been made eligible for fibre access.
Details regarding the progress of individual “AMEL” project commitments (i.e. legally binding FttH rollout commitments that certain operators[2] have made to local authorities, as part of calls for expressions of local interest) can be found in pages 19 to 23 of the publication.
