To celebrate its 25th anniversary (the company was founded in February 1999), Free is offering a limited edition of the server box for its Freebox Ultra. It is completely transparent to allow a glimpse of its components and “ recalls iconic technological products of the 90s such as the iMac G3 or the Game Boy Color “. To see the inside of the Freebox Ultra up close, we have it disassembled.
It is also equipped with a ribbon of red LEDs (can be deactivated, fortunately) which goes around the hull: “ From their Freebox Connect application, [les abonnés] can choose an animation mode from six modes: static, breathing, rain, wave, organic, chase ».
« Faithful to its responsible packaging policy, Free has chosen to use water-based inks and limit the number of colors so that the sheath is entirely recyclable. Our teams have also favored French manufacturing to reduce emissions linked to transport. », Adds the ISP.
Like the classic Freebox Ultra, the Limited Edition offers a Free 4K TV Player, a Wi-Fi 7 Repeater and a 4G pocket Wi-Fi. The price is the same in limited edition or not: 49.99 euros for Freebox Ultra Essential and 59.99 euros per month for Freebox Ultra. The ISP offers a 10 euro discount for the first year, without obligation. Recently, the cancellation fees have increased from 49 to 59 euros.
If you are already a Freebox Ultra (Essential) subscriber, a “ request to change the Internet Server for an Ultra Limited Edition Internet Server will be made in the Subscriber Area (49 euros) “. As a reminder, the box does not belong to you, you will have to return it in any case at the end of your subscription.
