Free is a French Internet Service Provider (ISP), which is a subsidiary of the Iliad Group. It operates in France. It was the first company to offer a Triple play service in France through their Freebox modem. It claims to be the first company to have invented the "box" marketing concept in France,[1] in reference to the other ISPs in France who thereafter released Triple play modems named to include the word "box". These "boxes" provide comprehensive telecommunication services such as high-speed internet, telephone and digital television packages. On 2006-09-11, Free announced a new FTTH offer with speed up to 50 Mbit/s for €29.99 a month (instead of the former 28 Mbit/s DSL offer).
