The internet box market is divided into two distinct camps. On one side, there are budget-friendly offers tailored for the general public. On the other side, some packages focus on technical excellence and a wide range of services.
The Freebox Ultra clearly belongs to the second category and proudly claims it. It boasts a high-speed network infrastructure tailored for demanding users. The Freebox Ultra offers speeds of up to 8 Gbit/s for both downloading and uploading, which is a game-changer for households requiring fast internet for work, cloud storage, and streaming.
Additionally, the Freebox Ultra comes with Wi-Fi 7 to ensure that the fiber speeds reach all devices in the home. For larger living spaces, a Wi-Fi 7 repeater can be provided upon request to ensure full coverage. However, what truly sets the Freebox Ultra apart is its entertainment offering.
With partnerships with major global streaming services, the Freebox Ultra integrates Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, and Universal+. It also includes 340 TV channels, including Canal+ Live, and the OQEE by Free app with a selection of free-access movies. Subscribers no longer need to juggle between multiple applications and separate monthly payments; everything is consolidated and accessible through the Freebox Ultra Player decoder.
Despite its premium pricing starting at 49.99 euros per month for the first year and increasing to 59.99 euros thereafter, the value provided by the Freebox Ultra is undeniable. The inclusion of Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video alone justifies the cost. The fiber connection at 8 Gbit/s and Wi-Fi 7 ultimately come at a very competitive price.
The Freebox Ultra offer is contract-free, and the activation fees are refunded (saving 49 euros). For those interested in the technology and speeds but not the entertainment offer, the Freebox Ultra Essentiel is a more affordable option at 10 euros less per month.
According to Arcep, Free ranks high in client satisfaction for fiber internet, with a score of 8.1/10. Only Orange (8.2/10) surpasses Free in this aspect. Choosing Free means choosing reliability. To determine if Free is the right provider for you, you can check our eligibility test.
