Free is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a very collector's edition of the Freebox Ultra, the most expensive of its internet boxes.
This might crack some people up. This December 3, Iliad is unveiling a collector's edition of the Freebox Ultra, which adopts a transparent design, reminiscent of certain editions of portable consoles from the 90s and early 2000s.
Better yet: it is equipped with an RGB LED strip, allowing you to personalize it according to your tastes or your interior – for example by adding red to use the historic color of Free.
A “simple” Freebox Ultra transparent
Different modes are also accessible in the Free application, in particular to deactivate the light strip, but also to launch “animations” such as a breathing, rain or wave effect. This will bring back good memories for fans of PC modding, with RGB in abundance. The box is also entitled to a slight facelift, sporting the same red as the rest of the box.
But if Free offers this collector's edition, it remains a “simple” Freebox Ultra, which is the most expensive of its internet boxes, but also the most powerful. It has symmetrical speeds of 8Gb/s, WiFi 7 and offers several access to SVOD platforms (with advertisements) including Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video, as well as a selection of Canal+ programs.
The prices reflect its premium aspect, since without SVOD (but with its OQEE television service), it will cost you 39.99 euros per month for a year, then 49.99 euros, or 49.99 euros per month for a year, then 59.99 euros per month with SVOD. If you feel like it, it's a limited edition, so don't delay.
