The Iliad shuts down the network to save money
The unrealistic costs of electricity have not only affected individuals or families, but also large businesses, especially mobile phone networks.
To remedy the problem, many operators decided to raise prices for all their customers, however, which led to many negative results given that users of the service then decided to change their operator, in search of a more suitable operator.

In fact, it was noted in those times that low traffic does not justify a high speed range and here was the idea of putting 3G and 4G cells in the 2100MHz band and 5G cells in the band in standby mode. I started. 3.5GHz, 3G, and 4G cells in the 700MHz band have also been put on standby since mid-September.
