The two operators have each launched an internet box at €23.99 per month, all with fiber and without commitment. But which is the best offer between the B&You Pure fiber and the RED Box? Here is our breakdown of these two formulas to help you make the right choice.

B&You Pure fiber for an ultra-fast connection

As its name suggests, Bouygues Telecom's B&You Pure fiber offer focuses solely on internet access via fiberwithout including TV or landline telephone services. It offers particularly high speeds, of up to 8 Gbit/s for downloading and 1 Gbit/s for sending.

The B&You Pure fiber offer is non-binding, and its price of €23.99 per month is not expected to change after the first year. However, please note that this is an introductory offer. The price may increase in the future.

The B&You Pure fiber box in brief:

• Speeds up to 8 Gbps download and 1 Gbps upload
• WiFi 6E + Smart WiFi

• No commitment
• Advantageous price of €23.99 per month

Our recommendation: with its performance, the B&You Pure fiber offer is especially ideal for gamers and demanding users who need a reliable connection for teleworking, high-quality video streaming and intensive multimedia activities.

The RED Box Fiber for a more complete and economical offer

Although it allows access to fiber, the internet offer of RED by SFR remains less efficient compared to that of Bouygues Telecom. Speeds are capped at 500 Mbit/s for downloading and sending. While these speeds are more than sufficient for everyday uses such as streaming, browsing and video conferencing, they could however be insufficient for activities requiring an ultra-fast connection, such as online gaming or downloading large files.

On the other hand, the RED Box offers much more than internet access. It also allows unlimited calls to mobiles in France and landlines in more than 100 countries. The offer also includes access to 35 TV channels, but without a decoder, which remains available as an option for an additional €3 per month. Channels can be viewed directly on your mobile devices using the RED TV app.

Finally, the RED Box is also, without commitmentand its price is fixed. Another major advantage is that commissioning is currently free, which will save you €39.

The RED Box Fiber in brief:

• Speeds up to 500 Mbit/s download and upload
• Wi-Fi 5
• Unlimited calls to landlines in more than 100 countries and to mobiles in France
• 35 TV channels included via the RED TV app
• No commitment
• Advantageous rate of €23.99 per month
• Commissioning offered

Our recommendation: If you don't need very high speeds and you're used to communicating by phone with your loved ones, the no-commitment RED Box will do the job very well. In addition, it is more economical to subscribe with free setup fees.
