Remember, last winter… it wasn’t the same story! A fiber Internet subscription cost on average more than €32 per month, or €4 more than today according to our price barometer for the month of November. A very appreciable drop of 10%. And again, that was without counting the recent appearance of the “Freebox Revolution Special Series”, nor the €1 price drop on the RED by SFR Box, nor the brand new “Pure Fiber” offer from B&You.. .
“Pure fibre” de B&YOU : a super flow with no frills
Buckle up, because B&You has focused everything on speed for this “Pure Fiber” offer. On the price too, because at €23.99/month, a fixed rate, no competitor has yet been able to do better. Record also broken for downloading: eligible households will be able to hope up to 8 Gb/s download speed, and 1 Gb/s upload speed. And for everyone at home to be able to benefit from it, even simultaneously, we needed Wi-Fi that was up to par, stable and powerful: can Wi-Fi 6E and its 3 frequency bands for more agility. As an option, large homes can be equipped witha repeater, to rent extra for €4/month.
The secret of the formula? Not only will no decoder be provided, but there will also be no telephony offer: B&You signs there an absolutely unique “one-play” offer!
The Freebox Revolution Special Series… at the same price?!
We change strategy on the Free side: no question of giving up anything! With the Freebox Revolution, we are entitled to unlimited telephony in France and to landlines abroad, an insane TV package of 280 channels, and nothing less than1 Gb/s download speed. Count on 600 Mb/s transfer, and Wi-Fi 5 (ac) for wireless connection.
Usually, the cost of the subscription is €29.99/month, a fixed rate. But in the face of competition, Free is releasing its Freebox Revolution “Special Series” style and matches the price of B&You’s “Pure Fiber” package! For a year at least, the time toa crazy promotion of €6/month, and certainly ephemeral, so we take advantage of it!
The RED Box costs 1€ less than before
As RED by SFR is already used to competing with the Bbox Fit, another star of the “dual-play” Boxes, now it is facing a second, very aggressive competitor! Faithful to his principles, he therefore decided to reduce the price of your RED Box by €1 in order to match it, with a slightly different formula:
- the flow will be lower although significant: 500 Mb/s symmetrical, simply distributed via dual-band Wi-Fi 5;
- the telephone offer is generous: it includes unlimited calls to landlines AND mobiles in France, unlike many discount Boxes, and to landlines in a hundred countries;
- the 35 TNT channels will be accessible free of charge via the RED TV application on smartphones, tablets, and PC/Mac.
In the long term, it is undoubtedly the subscription with the best quality/price ratio.
