Fibre optic: Orange flange large consumers

Recently discovered bit of information - so that the restriction is in place since November - Orange may clamp the optical fiber offers some subscribers. Indeed, the basic package of Orange offers 100 megabits / s download but only 10 megabits / s upload. An option "premium" proposed € 10 more per month, increased to 100 megabits / s upload and it is the latter which is clamped.

Indeed, as in the heyday of the cable operator, the upload is limited. Orange believes that beyond 1 TB per month (still 34 GB per day) issued, the practice is "unfair" and send speed is clamped at 10 megabits per second, as the supply base . Orange is the problem but also technical marketing.

Technique because the company is working GPON FTTH, which involves the sharing of bandwidth and therefore a possible limitation and performance degradation among subscribers. Marketing because the avowed purpose is to avoid that customers use their bid for the storage "online" or for hosting a server, the company proposing to offer this type of professional practice, with a price which is obviously not the same.
