Le Dauphiné/France Bleu, May 31, 2024

During the night of May 30 to 31, a major cable in the Orange network in the Ardèche region was damaged by an act of vandalism, when wires were severed, causing a major internet outage for ADSL and fiber. The same applies to the telephone network, including copper. All communes in the cantons of Privas and Le Pouzin were totally or partially affected. “The areas of Privas, Alissas, Cruas, Rochemaure, Meysse and Le Teil were also affected”, said Orange.

Throughout the day, the operator worked on repairs. By early evening, users had regained their connection. Orange has lodged a complaint.
