In the last 90 days of 2017, we made over 22 million network quality tests on France’s mobile networks. As a result, we established that the Orange network provided the best-combined download speeds across both 3G and 4G networks registering 10.4 Mbps. When looking at 4G networks alone, Orange also delivered the best speed with 13.9 Mbps.

However, it’s interesting to note that SFR delivered the best overall quality when taking into account speed, latency, jitter and packet loss all of which influence overall user experience and network performance.
About our testing
Tutela tests mobile networks by crowdsourcing anonymous sensor data from hundreds of millions of Android and iOS mobile users across the world. This enables us to collect billions of measurements every day and gain a real-world understanding of the mobile experience that mobile users are getting - not just in major towns & cities, but in all parts of the world.
Our testing methodology is designed to simulate typical user mobile behaviour, such as downloading a photograph or web page, rather than measuring the maximum performance, such as the peak download speed during a very large file transfer (which very few users will achieve) so that we can understand a typical user's experience.
