Strips of old Edge networks allocated to Free for its 4G in 2015

It's a
Subject often debated in our columns: the 4G coverage of free mobile
remains very fragmented and even in 3G, the user often rocks on the
Orange network.

But this could improve in the coming months.

Indeed, as part of a rebalancing of 4G frequencies assigned to
different French operators, the French regulatory authority comes
to allocate a frequency band formerly used for free
2G.

This is a frequency reallocation formerly used by SFR,
Orange and Bouygues. These can be used by Free from the 1st
January 2015 throughout the territory.

Now remains to be seen how, when and or these frequencies usable by
Free will have their effect.

In parallel, these reallocations are made in return for a
Covering obligation. Free should according to his commitments
Cover 25 % of the French population on October 11, 2015, 60
% EN 2019 EN 75 % EN 2023.

To be continued next year therefore for free package holders
