Orange France stops offering satellite-based TV service to new sign-ups

Friday 9 April 2021 | 08:41 CET | News
Orange has stopped commercialising its satellite TV service to new French subscribers from 08 April, reports Alloforfait. The operator had been selling it since 2008, mainly to households with ADSL connections too slow to support the standard IPTV offering. Greater availability of faster speeds is believed to be the main driver behind the decision to end the satellite TV service. For the moment, no change has been announced to existing customers.
