Marseille, Lille, Strasbourg… These cities which are less well covered in fiber than the countryside

Since the health crisis, many Parisians have moved to Marseille for the sun and the sea. But they may not have the fiber! In the second largest city in France, less than 3 out of 4 homes are now eligible for this very high speed technology. Paradoxically, the surrounding countryside is better covered.

Admittedly, at the national level, the big cities remain the best served. But Marseille is not an isolated case. The situation is worse in Lille. The city of Martine Aubry has a fiber coverage of 65%, according to the latest figures from Arcep, the telecoms regulator. While in the rest of the Nord department, there are only a handful of dwellings that do not yet have access.
