SFR offers 5G speed better than Orange, Bouygues Télécom and Free Mobile. According to tests carried out by nPerf, it is the operator with the red square that offers the best downlink and uplink speeds to its subscribers in France. On the other hand, in all calls made (from 2G to 5G) in the first half of 2021, Orange remains in first place.
nPerf has just put online the barometer dedicated to mobile connections in France during the first half of 2021. The application was particularly interested in the speeds offered with 5G subscriptions, which arrived in France at the end of the year. During the period, users of the nPerf application performed 1,476,918 tests, an increase of 20% compared to the first half of 2020.
During the first half of the year, SFR established itself as number 1 in 5G. The red square operator offers an average rate of descent of 308 Mb / s and an average rate of ascent of 40 Mb / s. SFR is way ahead of the competition, especially in uplink speeds. “With a speed almost twice as fast as the runner-up -Orange-, SFR clearly outperforms its opponents on this indicator”, details nPerf.
Orange offers the best mobile network in France, announces nPerf
On the other hand, orange does not belittle in relation to the average downward flows. In this indicator, the incumbent operator closely follows the SFR with an average of 296 Mb / s. “With Orange, these two operators are leading the race, far ahead of Bouygues Telecom and Free, offering average 5G speeds more than six times the average 4G speeds, all operators combined”, specifies the barometer.
nPerf then look at the latency time of 5G networks. In this area, Bouygues Télécom is doing well, slightly ahead of SFR. According to the barometer, “5G latencies are quite close to 4G, except for Bouygues Telecom which offers a real difference”.
By combining all network tests performed on 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G, nPerf has decreed thatOrange offers the best mobile network in France with a score of 78,658 nPoints, far ahead of number 2, Free Mobile. Orange is used to being ranked first.
