They receive an incorrect EDF bill of € 180,000 because of Linky
A couple from northern France, residents of the commune of Attin in Pas-de-Calais, recently suffered from an electronic bug and received an EDF bill for € 179,527. The latter had obviously not consumed enough electricity to arrive at this amount and immediately contacted the distributor. The EDF operator then detects a technical problem with the Linky meter. The couple will not have to pay this huge bill and EDF has also told them to cover the bank opposition costs, as well as those of intervention to resolve the problem.

Orange lied about the speeds of its 5G
Orange had promised a considerable improvement in the performance of its 5G speeds compared to 4G, but that actually depends on the frequencies used. This false promise was quickly spotted by the Consumption Housing Environment Association (CLCV), which alerted consumers to the risk of subscribing to a 5G subscription while expecting superior performance. According to her, the operator has not presented with precision the availability of its network on French territory and, above all, has not explained the differences between the frequencies and the speeds they allow. Faced with Orange’s troubled communication, the association ended up filing a complaint, and Orange collected a fine of € 15,000. In addition to this sanction, there is the obligation to broadcast the court’s verdict on its website for one month.
