In the month of May, 4G coverage was brought to 196 towns and 4G+ coverage was brought to 590 1 Fiber with optical or coaxial termination, according to elibility 2 Fiber with optical or coaxial termination, according to elibility In May, SFR brought 4G to 196 additional towns, and 4G+ to 590 towns. For example, La Turbie (06), Cuise-la-Motte (60) and Cugand (85) have enjoyed the arrival of 4G, and Brignoles (83), Cerelles (37), Cours (46) have benefited from 4G+. (See lists below). 4G+ 300 Mbits/s was launched in 1,537 towns SFR continues its investments which will bring 4G+ of up to 300 Mbit/s to its clients, allowing a theoretical maximum speed 3 times faster than 4G. This technology is already being rolled out in 33 major urban centres (of more than 100,000 residents) across a total of 1,537 towns (See lists below). Rennes and Bayonne-Anglet-Biarritz: news cities in which 4G+ 500 Mbit/s is being deployed In the first quarter of 2019, SFR took an important new step. After Bordeaux, Lyon, Saint-Etienne, Marseille, Toulon, Nice, Montpellier, Avignon, Nantes, Tours, Paris, Strasbourg, Clermont-Ferrand, Angers and Rouen SFR continues its deployment in the 4G+ 500 Mbit/s with the launch this month of Rennes and Bayonne-Anglet-Biarritz Therefore, customers using a fixed rate 4G plan and a compatible device will benefit from considerably increased data rates at no extra cost and will thereby be able to increase, as they wish, their digital usage when mobile. 4G+ up to 500 Mbit/s is a progression from the standard 4G. Thanks to the aggregation of 4 x 4G frequency bands, 4G+ up to 500 Mbit/s is capable of providing a theoretical maximum speed of 593 Mbit/s, thereby offering unequalled comfort and navigation speed for the user on the go.
