Fiber, ADSL, telephony: inflation will also affect the price of Internet subscriptions in 2023.
« The average consumer bill for the use of high or very high speed Internet access amounts to 34.50 euros excluding tax per month »: the finding comes from ARCEP (Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications, Posts and Press Distribution), responsible for regulating the sector, in a report dated October 5. That is an increase in the average monthly bill of 1.20 euros in one year for optical fiber and ADSL subscriptions. This increase in costs is added to inflation, which is already weighing heavily on the daily lives of the French.
More and more 5G
Another lesson from this report is that more and more French people are opting for optical fiber: 55% of connectable homes have taken out a fiber subscription. Nearly 20 million people are affected. The end of the ADSL network and the switch to fiber are also worrying many users.
5G also continues to make its mark, despite initial reluctance, with a million additional subscriptions each quarter.
Finally, we learn that SMS are less and less popular, abandoned in favor of online messaging applications (Whatsapp, Messenger, etc.): we send on average 107 SMS per month, a drop of 6 to 10% in one year. year.
