Before taking out an internet or mobile subscription, we have all wondered which is the best internet or mobile operator in France. Which operator receives the best reception at home? Who has the best quality of service? The best prices?

  • Bouygues, Sosh, Free and RED are the operators who offer the cheapest prices for internet or mobile offers, especially for the first 12 months.
  • In terms of Landline network quality , there is no clear winner, although there are variations in terms of commissioning time, breakdown rate (SFR score best) and fault repair time.
  • In terms of mobile networks , Orange has slightly better mobile reception quality than its competitors. Coverage in 4G and 5G is close from one operator to another.
