The French internet provider Free has expanded its Freebox Pop product line to increase market competitiveness. Initially, the company positioned the Freebox Pop and Pop S offers as highly competitive by including Wi-Fi 7 technology and optional Wi-Fi 7 repeaters, contrasting with the premium-tier requirements of competitors like Orange and Bouygues Telecom.

Following the initial rollout, Free introduced the Freebox Pop S as a more affordable alternative. While this version maintains the same internet performance and Wi-Fi 7 capabilities as the standard model, it features several service reductions, including the removal of a physical TV decoder in favor of the OQEE application, the exclusion of structured TV packages, and the removal of various streaming service trials and unlimited landline calling.
