PRESS RELEASE Paris, 25th September 2019 FIXED AND MOBILE HIGH-SPEED BROADBAND JULY - AUGUST 2019 High-speed broadband leader SFR continues its roll-out: 4G : 21 cities opened 4G+ 500 Mbit/s Fiber1 : 13.8 million Fiber connections Mobile high-speed broadband 924 new 4G antennas deployed until end of August 2019 In the month of July and August, 4G coverage was brought to 145 towns and 4G+ coverage was brought to 707 4G+ 300 Mbits/s was deployed in more than 2,000 towns 21 cities are opened in 4G+ 500 Mbit/s Fixed high-speed broadband Fiber2 infrastructure provider, with 13.8 million eligible FTTx connections 415,805 new connections across 356 towns in July and August 2019 The deployment of the Fixed high-speed in le Gard : the Fiber is coming in 48 towns SFR Box 8 : the first box on the market to incorporate WiFi 6 Mobile high-speed broadband: 924 new 4G antennas deployed until end of August 2019 In July-August 2019, SFR continued the extension of its 4G network by bringing 127 additional sites into service. With the deployement of 924 new antennas during summer 2019, SFR has now 41,537 antennas. In the first quarter of 2019, SFR covered 98.7% of the population in 4G In the month of July and August, 4G coverage was brought to 145 towns and 4G+ coverage was brought to 707 In July-August, SFR brought 4G to 145 additional towns, and 4G+ to 707 towns. For example Jullouville (50), Saint-Menehould (51), Monchecourt (59) and La Chapelle-en-Serval (60), have 1 Fiber with optical or coaxial termination, according to elibility 2 Fiber with optical or coaxial termination, according to elibility enjoyed the arrival of 4G, and Burie (17), Lostanges (19), Berville-sur-mer (27) and Colembert (62) have benefited from 4G+. (See lists below). 4G+ 300 Mbits/s was deployed in more than 2,000 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 32 major urban centres (of more than 100,000 residents) across a total of 2,061 towns (See lists below). 21 cities are opened in 4G+ 500 Mbit/s 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, Rouen, Rennes, Bayonne-Anglet-Biarritz, Brest and Dijon SFR continues its deployment in the 4G+ 500 Mbit/s with the launch this month of Grenoble and Orléans 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. Fixed mobile high-speed broadband: Fiber3 infrastructure provider, with 13.8 million eligible FTTx, SFR deployed 415,805 new connections across 356 towns in July-August 2019 In July and August 2019, SFR continued its deployments across the country, and 415,805 residences and local professionals were made Fiber-connectable in 356 towns.

Currently, SFR’s Fiber4 services are available in more than 3,500 French towns and more than 2,700 towns enjoy speeds of up to 1Gbit/s. The deployment of the Fixed high-speed in le Gard : the Fiber is coming in 48 towns The Department of Le Gard and SFR inaugurated on July 8 in Vauvert the first Fiber optical node as part of the deployment of Wigard Fibre. Thus 6,179 households and businesses will be connected to Vauvert very high speed starting this year.
