Arcep is adopting a Decision setting a price cap for access to the Orange copper local loop, which is subject to an obligation of cost-based pricing, and applicable for three years: 2026, 2027 and 2028.
The responses to the public consultation, which ran from 5 December 2024 to 17 January 2025, did not lead the Authority to make any substantial changes to its draft decision. The Authority submitted this draft decision to the European Commission for comment on 27 February 2025.
The Commission made no comments on the draft decision
As a result, the Authority has set the recurring monthly rate for access to full unbundling (LLU), subject to an obligation of cost-based pricing, of €9.20 for the years 2026 to 2028. This tariff is identical to the one charged in 2024 and 2025.
This capped price is on top of the monthly flat-rate tax on network businesses (IFER) which Arcep adjusts every year to factor in the annual IFER update, as was the case in 2024 and 2025.
The Decision also sets the price cap for partial unbundling and for certain related fees: service access fees, cancellation fees, VAS+ rate.
