Free breakdown on July 2, 2025: Internet and mobile disturbed in several departments

This Tuesday afternoon, DowndeTector recorded a peak of several hundred simultaneous reports concerning Free. It is well above average. The incident seems to touch several areas, without national communication from the operator for the moment.

Free: Sudden increase in breakdown reports on July 2, 2025

At 2:04 p.m. very precisely, the DowndeTector counter climbed to 309 reports against an average of 20 in normal times. It’s enough to arouse attention, but not yet to evoke a network crash. Free, via @FreeReseau, spoke of an interruption around Clermont-de-l’Oise (60).

At the same time, several official messages published on X confirm localized cuts, especially in the Oise, Aude, Marne or Bouches-du-Rhône. Nothing massive nationwide, but enough to disturb the digital tranquility of thousands of subscribers.

For the moment, the problem seems to be circumscribed, but the number of areas concerned suggests a broader disruption of the interconnection network. Nothing indicates an attack or sabotage: Free talks about current technical interventions. The hypothesis of a “multi-operator” problem is circulating, but remains unconfirmed. It could be a local domino effect, or simple coincidences in the lifts.

What if you are concerned? Here is a simple and direct checklist:

1. Restart your free box (or 4G/5G smartphone).
2. Test a sharing connection via another operator if possible.
3. Consult the network status here: 4. https://downdetector.fr/statut/free 5. Official x account: @FreeRESEAU
