Mobile operators SFR and Orange almost equal for 4G speeds but Orange falls down on latency scores

French mobile operators SFR and Orange had near identical download speed performance on their 4G networks with SFR notching 13.7 Mbps and Orange 13.6 Mbps.

That said, measurements across both 3G and 4G networks revealed that Orange was let down by relatively poor latency scores and very high overall packet loss. Orange registered 4.57% packet loss compared to SFR’s 0.95%.

These results were taken from over 29 million network quality tests (over 30 billion unique measurements) that we gathered between September 1 and November 30, 2017.

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.
