When will you have fibre to the home? Ardèche Drôme Numérique (ADN) offers you an online eligibility tool to find out when fibre to the home will be rolled out in your town, village or neighbourhood.
Ardèche Drôme Numérique ?
In 2007, the syndicat mixte ADN, for Ardèche Drôme Numérique, was created by the départements ofArdèche and Drôme and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
Since then, the local authorities concerned, communities of communes and conurbations, have also joined the public entity.
Theaim is to ensure, support and coordinate the roll-out of fibre optics across the bi-departmental area, in order to support the digital development policy.
