Project
THD42 EXPLOITATION
The Loire department in south-eastern France has been fully connected since the summer! All postcodes in the THD42 network can now access full fibre and benefit from providers’ services – a major event in a rural region (excludes areas covered by the St-Etienne Métropole intermunicipal structure and Roannais Agglomération urban area authority).
Rolled out over 5 years, the THD42 network built by SIEL-Territoire d’énergies (SIEL-TE), the energy authority for the Loire department, includes more than 10,500km of fibre.
Over 274 municipalities and 185,000 homes or business premises now have access to full fibre and can benefit from the range of packages offered by partner providers. A pre-connection scheme may be taken up free of charge until 2025. Under the scheme, all homeowners and businesses in these municipalities can be connected for free and enjoy superfast broadband services, which are often lacking in rural areas.
