15. 8. 2025. FREEDOM DAY!!!



Our signal (above) from France's own wonderful 'ORANGE' internet and phone service (when, or if, it actually worked) was getting around 1Mb/s. Absolute rubbish, for which I was paying about 70 Euros a month. They should have been ashamed of themselves.


Since changing to Musk's 'STARLINK' we now get around 300 Mb/s, and there is no wavering in the quality of service we receive. It's brilliant, and we are paying about 40 Euros a month.

So, GOODBYE to Orange. August 15th is not only the French National Holiday, it's also the day we found our internet FREEDOM. As from today we have no landline phone (which was crackly and useless), but instead we have internet of the same quality as we have back in Brighton, from BT.  

Since internet connections are now available everywhere by satellite, I can see Orange going bust very soon. People don't use landline phones any more, and people won't tolerate the appalling Orange internet service. Good riddance to them! 

Le Quinze Aout will forever be a day of celebration in the Magnon household.

Viva Starlink; and viva Musk (but I wouldn't buy one of his cars).

    1. It was so frustrating before. Their wires are all over the ground, and we never knew what sort of signal we'd have. Now everything is perfect.
