Orange, the owner of the copper network, has launched a dedicated website to inform residents of Castres-Gironde about this technological transition. The sale of new ADSL subscriptions officially closed in the town on January 31, 2026.
Specifically, it is no longer possible to sign up for a new ADSL line. However, current subscribers with a functional ADSL connection will retain their internet access without any immediate changes.
The definitive technical shutdown of the copper network, which will lead to the complete cessation of ADSL, will occur at a later date set by the operator Orange. At that point, a transition to fiber optics will become necessary to maintain an internet connection.
