Orne THD is a French alternative Internet Service Provider (ISP), oriented mainly towards the general public in the Orne area & Greater Region.
Orne THD is also a television service provider and as such is quite advanced in this field: indeed, it was the 1st ISP in France to broadcast the channel France 2 in 4K with all the latest technologies (HDR10 + Dolby Atmos). The company has already brought to its clients many sport events (Roland Garros, Rugby World Cup, etc.) in the highest quality and is ready for the Olympic games in Paris.
Having a massive part of cross-border teleworkers among its clients, joining LU-CIX is the best move for Orne THD. LU-CIX can now allow them to have shorter Internet roads for workers to reach their company and thus be more efficient. It’s also a game changer for the gaming community!
Located in the north of Metz, the most relevant option for Orne THD to expend was to keep going north, instead of sending traffic to Paris or Frankfurt. Joining LU-CIX and its community was obvious.
« Only a few hours after being connected to LU-CIX, we managed to saturate the port! CDNs and cache servers saw latency halved and therefore all pushed via Luxembourg. It is clear that we will stay for the long term and that an upgrade will follow.” Stated Cedric Schwoerer, network engineer at Orne THD
