Orange suffered a network outage on October 21, before restoring its mobile network while pointing to a piece of equipment, an episode that thrust it into the spotlight of the telecom news. Its brand Sosh was caught in the same storm and found itself under the spotlight of October's plan rankings.
In the background, the potential sale of SFR and reactions from Arcep are fueling debate over market consolidation. Bouygues Telecom and Free Mobile are also at the center of these discussions, notably around the sharing of 4G frequencies between operators, and Free Mobile remains ubiquitous in plan comparisons. RED by SFR, B&You and Prixtel are among the brands most often cited in price guides, while La Poste Mobile and Syma Mobile continue to appear in barometers and MVNO lists.
The sector is going through a period of intense tension between possible consolidation and a price war, with subscribers paying very close attention to comparisons. The outage episodes and the SFR file could weigh durably on French consumers' choices.
