Around 6 p.m., many Internet users in the south east of the country reported a breakdown of the Free operator on the fixed Internet box side. The operator has not yet communicated about the outage.
On this evening of December 24, 2024, if you are at Free on the Freebox side, you will not have the bandwidth you need to skip your New Year's Eve and play Pokémon Pocket in complete discretion. Several reports on DownDetector and social networks show breakdowns throughout France on Freebox equipment, but in particular in the Nice region. We were able to confirm through three sources that fixed Internet was no longer accessible.

The reports seem concentrated in the Nice region, including the towns of the Alpes Maritimes. Le Cannet, Cagnes sur Mer, Vence, Cannes and other urban centers are affected. The peak on the DownDetector tool leaves little doubt about the reality of the service outage in the region, even if many reports also concern the Paris region and Marseille.
On this New Year's Eve, there is no doubt that the operator has technical teams on call to guarantee the restoration of service, but it is not impossible that the outage will last longer than usual. Free, notably via its X account dedicated to the state of its network, has not communicated about the current outage. The last publication relayed dates from December 24, but concerns an incident in the town of Malakoff, in 92.
