Hi Rod, SFR (soon to be renamed Altice) and Orange for sure have metropolitan networks in Lille. There might be others depending on your needs. On Wed, May 24, 2017 at 12:03 PM, Rod Beck <rod.beck@unitedcablecompany.com> wrote:

Altice is in the States and going public soon. They have been producing superior financial results. Appears to know how to run these cable networks better than the standard American management. ________________________________ From: jeje@jeje.org <jeje@jeje.org> on behalf of Jérôme Fleury <jerome@fleury.net> Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2017 8:15 AM To: Rod Beck Cc: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Lille, France Hi Rod, SFR (soon to be renamed Altice) and Orange for sure have metropolitan networks in Lille.

They don't actually lay any cable though, nor do they build their own network. They have been acquiring other telecoms at a brisk pace for 15 years as the industry consolidates. (They are debt heavy, especially for a European company, and this upcoming IPO is a 20% sale to grab more capital, riding the wave of recent market bullishness for U.S. telecoms.) Not sure if any of us network engineers will like them in 2 - 4 years - but you're a business consultant seeing this from a different perspective. ;) -- Regards, S.C.
Hi all, I beg to differ Scott, the SFR Group owned by Altice lays its own Fiber Optic networks and are present in all major cities in France. Each company that has been part of the group has a solid knowledge of fiber deployments for B2C and B2B clients. The mergers and acquisitions has helped the group consolidate many networks and add more capillarity nationwide.

Hello Rod, Altice France can sell you optical links or optical transport or IPv4/v6 transit from any to any point in France. Lille to Paris should be OK. For last mile networks we should be able to help you since we have the biggest optical network in France (we have approximately 2 million fiber optic customers). If you can provide with the exact GPS points you wish to connect we could try to estimate the price with you. Do you want black fiber or MPLS transport ? Last time i did that for one of our backbones, i ended up using optical transmission which is based on 100g links. Quick and easy. Regards, Alexis Letessier
