2017 was the busiest year, with 12 new systems, most of them 4G. Free Mobile opened 5G here in December 2020; Bouygues Telecom followed in August 2021, SFR followed in August 2021. The oldest transmitter still listed here goes back to 2000.

13 systems were switched on in the past 12 months. Approved additions not yet in service are pending on one existing mast, for example SFR (3G 900 MHz) at La Combe au Buyon. 3 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

3.5 GHz 5G is declared by Bouygues Telecom on 1 of its 4 masts, Free Mobile on 1 of its 4 masts, Orange on 1 of its 2 masts and SFR on 1 of its 4 masts. 67% of the town's masts carry 5G, fewer than across Saône-et-Loire towns with five or more masts (92%).

By mast count, Le Breuil is 10th of the 19 Saône-et-Loire towns that have five or more. With 6 masts for 3,538 residents, or 17 per 10,000, it has more masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (8).

TDF is the largest declared owner (3 masts), ahead of Totem (1).

Supports leave a gap of about 2.4 km to the south of the centre. Most declared azimuths point outward, along a corridor or valley rather than at the centre.

Le Creusot lies 4.1 km to the west and has 16 masts, more than here.

Of the 6 masts in the commune, only one mast carries all four networks.
