Do you have accommodation that you do not occupy throughout the year? Are you wondering if it is useful to take out a traditional internet subscription as for your main residence or if it is wiser to opt for an alternative connection? In this guide, we take stock of the Internet offers of French mobile operators for seasonal residences.

The best internet boxes of the moment:

Having two subscriptions on the same line: is it possible?

The answer is no. It is only possible to take out a single subscription on an Internet line. If you want to have an Internet connection in your second home, it is a good idea to take out a new subscription on the line of your second home.

What connection solutions for your second home?

There are multiple solutions to benefit from an Internet connection in your second home. However, the right choice depends essentially on the period of occupation of this place. For some, the second home is a real second place of life where you spend all your holidays and weekends. In this case, it is possible to opt for an offer with an Internet subscription for your second home.

For others, the secondary residence is only occupied for a few nights during the holidays. Thus, it is wise to take out a short-term internet subscription adapted to your real needs.

Here is what it is now possible to consider for occasional Internet use and/or a short-term stay:

La box internet

Subscribing to an Internet box with an Internet operator is the easiest way to have an Internet connection in your second home. Naturally, this is not always an affordable solution. Indeed, the subscriber will have to pay an annual subscription without being able to really benefit from it.

To limit your expenses, it is advisable to opt for an Internet Box at a reduced price (without superfluous options).

The Internet box without commitment

The non-binding Internet Box is undoubtedly the most relevant solution for a second home. The subscriber will actually pay for what he needs while optimizing his budget. Free, Orange, SFR and Bouygues Telecom offer a non-binding Internet box for the summer months only. Red by SFR and Sosh are, for the moment, the most attractive Box offers on the market.

connection sharing

Mobile connection sharing is another solution to consider for having an Internet connection during your summer vacation. This involves sharing your mobile connection in order to be able to connect other terminals (tablet, laptop, etc.). All you have to do is activate connection sharing on your mobile so that your devices are connected to the Internet. The 100 GB Internet packages and the 4 GB unlimited packages are the most advantageous.

The 4G key

The 4G dongle is another perfect temporary solution. It allows you to have an Internet connection without a fixed line. SFR, Bouygues and Orange offer the best 4G offers on the market. Depending on the operator, you will have a key or a pocket box.

Here are the offers from SFR, Bouygues and Orange currently available:

SFR Internet Everywhere

SFR offers a pocket box at 29 euros, SFR Internet Partout. This is an offer perfectly suited to having an Internet connection for your second home. SFR Internet Everywhere connects up to 32 devices and offers high-speed downloading.

Bouygues 4G hotspot package

Bouygues offers several 4G hotspot packages without commitment for seasonal residences (20 GB for €16.99 per month, 40 GB for €26.99 per month or 60 GB for €42.99 per month).
The price of the key is 59.90 euros or 9.90 euros per month with a 12 month commitment.

Forfait Let’s Go d’Orange

For an occasional stay in a second home, Orange offers Let’s Go packages of 10, 30 or 60 GB at the respective prices of €14.99, €24.99 and €45.99 per month. To be able to take advantage of it, it is necessary to have a 4G Airbox which costs €79.90. This offer is non-binding.

Le hotspot wifi

The wifi hotspot is another option to have an Internet connection temporarily in your second residence.

Orange, Free, SFR and Bouygues Telecom offer their subscribers wifi hotspot offers. The Internet service provider you choose will have to provide you with the identifier that will allow you to connect to a wifi hotspot and enjoy a free connection.

This solution has two limitations. Indeed, the connection is not extremely fast and is not secure either. Anyone can access it using their username.

Internet par satellite

The satellite connection is the best solution for those who occupy second homes located in a white area or in a municipality not served (or almost) by ADSL. Even though your seasonal home is nestled in the countryside, you will have access to an internet connection.

In this sense, several solutions have been proposed by satellite operators. We find in particular Nordnet or SkyDSL.

The high price is the only limit of this Internet connection solution. It is necessary to install a satellite dish which costs between 100 and 400 €.

Here are some satellite Internet offers that you can take advantage of for your stay:

Nordnet SUPERNOVA Satellite Internet from €29.90

Nordnet offers a SUPERNOVA Satellite Internet offer at €29.90 per month for 6 months then €39.90 per month. This offer includes a 100 MB mobile plan in addition to two hours of calls. There are offers at €39.90, €44.90 and €49.90 for a period of 6 months for a larger mobile plan.

SkyDLS2+ Flat 40 from €34.90

The SkyDLS2+ box is a modem that works via satellite with a speed of 40 Mbits in maximum data reception. This offer is available from €34.90 per month.
