Price increase for RED Box 5G

The monthly cost for the RED Box 5G service has risen to 25.99 €, an increase of 1 € from its previous price of 24.99 €. The service continues to offer a no-commitment option, meaning users can cancel at any time without being tied to a minimum contract period.

Service features and performance

The service provides unlimited 5G Internet access with download speeds of up to 1.1 Gb/s and upload speeds of up to 150 Mb/s, along with Wi-Fi 6 technology. Users can self-install the service without requiring a technician's assistance.

Additional costs and options

An extra 5 € per month is required for unlimited calls to landlines and mobile numbers within France and the DOM (Departments and Overseas Territories). This makes the total cost 30.99 € per month for the full package.

Eligibility and target audience

The 5G connection may be especially useful for households without a reliable fixed Internet connection, although availability depends on the coverage at the user’s address. The ease of setup and no-commitment model are emphasized as major selling points.

Refund and price considerations

RED offers a refund of up to 100 € for canceling the user's previous Internet provider, although specific conditions apply. While the price increase slightly reduces the cost-effectiveness of the service, it is still considered a viable option for fast Internet access without long-term obligations, particularly in areas where fiber Internet is not available.
