Freebox

Broadband, television and phone service bundled for French households are what make Freebox a familiar name in consumer telecoms. The brand is closely associated with Free’s internet service and its home gateway devices, which combine network access with features such as Wi-Fi and, depending on the offer, television and telephony. By our assessment, the appeal is the all-in-one setup: one provider and one box can cover several household needs. That convenience also ties the experience to the provider’s available plans and equipment, rather than letting customers assemble a fully independent setup. Freebox is not just a router brand, but neither is it a standalone streaming service. The home gateway remains central to how the bundled services reach televisions, computers and phones.
