Fiber internet box introduced by RED by SFR

RED by SFR has launched a fiber internet box priced at 22.99 € per month, which includes up to 139 € in refunds for customers switching from other internet providers.

Internet speed and technology

The subscription includes the SFR Box 7, which offers a theoretical speed of up to 1 Gb/s for downloading and uploading. This speed is considered adequate for most households for activities like watching 4K videos or working remotely. The box uses Wi-Fi 5 technology, which is still functional but somewhat outdated.

Upgrade options for faster connections

For an additional 1 € per month, users can upgrade to Wi-Fi 6, which allows download speeds of up to 2 Gb/s shared across multiple devices. This upgrade can improve performance for households with several connected devices.

Call features and additional costs

The offer includes unlimited calls to 100 fixed lines. However, to call French mobile numbers from the fixed line, an extra 5 € per month is required. The refund of up to 139 € includes 39 € for the installation of the new box and up to 100 € from the previous operator’s termination fees.

No-commitment contract and flexibility

The RED Box Fibre is a no-commitment internet service, allowing users to switch providers at any time without waiting for the end of a contract. However, termination fees may apply when leaving the service.

Additional TV options and costs

The basic subscription provides access to 35 channels through the RED TV application without needing a decoder. Customers can add the Connect TV decoder for 3 € per month to watch on a television, or opt for a bouquet of 100 channels for an additional 2 € per month. These options allow customization but can raise the overall cost.

Target audience and competitiveness

The RED Box Fibre is designed for customers looking for a cost-effective internet solution without unnecessary services. At 22.99 € per month, with the potential to recover up to 139 € in fees from switching providers, the offer is seen as competitive. Customers are advised to check if their address is eligible and to request refunds before the deadlines.
