The Municipality of Bessenay announces the progressive end of the copper network, used for ADSL and fixed telephone lines, with a definitive shutdown planned for May 31, 2029.

The copper network, essential for services like ADSL and certain fixed telephone lines, will be progressively phased out in the commune. The sale of new ADSL offers has already stopped since January 31, 2026. Fiber optic coverage already reaches 99% of the municipality.
This transition affects residents who still use an Internet connection via ADSL, a fixed telephone line relying on the copper network, or certain equipment dependent on this historical network.
To avoid any future service interruption, affected users are invited to check their situation with their operator and to anticipate their transition to a compatible solution, such as fiber optics, which offers superior performance and is intended to gradually replace the copper network.
For any questions regarding your eligibility or the steps to take, please contact your telecommunications operator.
