Albert the InfoGipsy Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 If you're near enough to the exchange you can get broadband and TV easily enough. This also usually gives free phone calls to most of the world. If you're in a typical 'Brit out in the sticks' location it could be harder or more expensive. There's also the question of whether you are in a degrouped area. This means that you don't have to have a France Telecom (Orange) number and can just use your broadband connection to provide your phone, saving a fair bit. For TV you can get it as part of your broadband deal, depending on line speed, or via an ordinary aerial or a satellite dish. You'll need a sat dish if you want to pick up UK channels.I'd start by talking to Orange first, because you'll need a physical land-line anyway and they'll be able to tell you about the feasibility of broadband. Other suppliers will probably be cheaper but this will give you a benchmark. I believe they have an English-speaking helpline, but don't know the number.
