Will all French homes be connected to fiber?

By Steve Rogers,
In theory, yes. This is at least the promise made to the French by successive governments. In practice, the less dense areas always remain the “poor parents” of the FTTH plan. Indeed, for the time being, operators have favored equipping the largest French cities to the detriment of less populated areas and / or more difficult to access. However, the PFTHD adopted in February 2013 reaffirmed the objective of covering the entire French territory by 2022 .

In the meantime, ARCEP has formalized the launch of VDSL2 and its commercial deployment. This technology, which substantially improves the performance of ADSL without however equaling that of fiber, constitutes a last resort while the fiber is deployed throughout France.

Where are we in the deployment of fiber and what are the offers?
ARCEP has set up an “Observatory for High and Very High Speed ​​in France”. As of June 30, 2017, the regulator had just over 6 million very high-speed Internet subscriptions  - compared to 2 million as of December 31, 2013 - or 37% of the total number of homes eligible for fiber . In July 2017, more than one active Internet subscription in five was very high speed.

Thus, if you plan to subscribe to a fiber Internet package , you must first of all take stock of the different types of connection with which your telephone line is compatible, which will condition the future speed of your connection: ADSL for broadband , fiber optic or VDSL2 for very high speed. In addition, if your accommodation is in an unbundling zone (partial or total), you may be able to benefit from triple or quadruple play packages.
To allow you to quickly identify the offers to which you have access from SFR, RED by SFR, Orange, Free or even Bouygues Telecom, JeChange provides you with an unbundling and eligibility test for the fiber of your line. You can then discover all the subscriptions available from your home, and compare them to find the contract that best suits your needs, at the best price.

If we detect N photons from a coherent state of light for a measurement,

By Steve Rogers,
Short answer: A good order of magnitude rule of thumb for the maximum possible bandwidth of an optical fibre channel is about 1 petabit per second per optical mode. So a "single" mode fibre (fibre with one bound eigenfield) actually has in theory two such channels, one for each polarisation state of the bound eigenfield. I'll just concentrate on the theoretical capacity of a single, long-haul fibre; see roadrunner66's answer for discussion of the branching in an optical network. The fundamental limits always get down to a question of signal to noise in the measurement (i.e. demodulation by the receiver circuit). The one, fundamentally anavoidable, noise source on a fibre link is quantum shot noise, so I'll concentrate on that. Therefore, what follows will apply to a short fibre: other noise sources (such as Raman, amplified spontaneous emission from in-line optical amplifiers, Rayleigh scattering, Brillouin scattering) tend to become significant roughly in pro

ingle-mode fiber uses only one mode of light to propagate

By Steve Rogers,
Single-mode fiber uses only one mode of light to propagate through the fiber-optic core. In single-mode fiber-optic cabling, the core is considerably smaller (8 to 10 microns) in diameter. A 9/125 optical fiber indicates that the core fiber has a diameter of 9 microns and the surrounding cladding is 125 microns in diameter. The core in single-mode fiber is only approximately 10 times larger than the wavelength of the light it is carrying. This leaves very little room for the light to bounce around. As a result the data carrying light pulses in single-mode fiber are essentially transmitted in a straight line through the core. Typically single-mode uses a laser light source, which is more expensive to produce, requires higher levels of safety awareness, and can transmit data further than multimode. Single-mode (such as a 9/125) can carry data up to 3000 meters (9,840 ft.) according to the existing standard (note that the standard in this case may not reflect the physical limitation)

Copper, fiber or wireless network?

By Steve Rogers,
While for decades the debate about which one is better (copper, fiber or wireless network), increased interest in discussing wiring, it is now becoming irrelevant.  In communications technology and the end-user market, it seems, it has already been decided that, in general terms, the transmission media and many networks must combine all three.  Currently, for the designer of wiring networks, especially fiber optic networks, and for their clients, the task of deciding which means to use once the communication systems were chosen is very simple. Long-distance and external plant Almost all telephony system cables are fiber optic, except telecommunications systems that still use copper for the final connection to the home.  CATV companies use a high-performance coaxial cable inside homes, but it connects to a  fiber optic  backbone  network .  Backbone (  backbone  ) Internet consists of fiber in its entirety.  Most commercial buildings that are in heavily populated areas receive d
