agree  Tony M: Yes, this is the usual term I'm familiar with; and as RK has rightly pointed out, you should keep the ADSL in this instance, since the FR is NOT 'haut débit', but specifically ADSL, referring to the actual lines, NOT the connection per se

agree  Charlie Bavington

agree  Simon Mountifield: As Conor said, it refers to whether France Télécom gives other ISPs access to the local loop, meaning that end users can sign up with someone else for Internet access/telephony/TV and remove FT from the equation (dégroupage total).

neutral  Drmanu49: Sorry ok for bundled but not for broadband!

disagree  rkillings: ADSL is ADSL (it is English, after all: asymmetrical digital subscriber line). Not all broadband is ADSL; there is cable, T1, etc.
