The 5G technology<\/strong> has made significant strides since its launch in late 2020 in France. While it is still not as mainstream as 4G<\/strong>, its user base is steadily growing<\/strong>. According to a recent report from the Arcep<\/strong>, the regulatory authority for telecommunications in France, the number of active 5G SIM cards<\/strong> is projected to reach 24.3 million by 2024<\/strong>, witnessing an increase of 10 million<\/strong> within a single year. <\/p>\n As of December 31, 2024<\/strong>, only 29%<\/strong> of the 83.9 million active SIM cards<\/strong> in France are utilizing the 5G network<\/strong>. This statistic reveals that a considerable 70%<\/strong> of the subscribers have yet to transition to 5G. Encouraging these users to upgrade<\/strong> their subscriptions and take advantage of the new mobile network<\/strong> offerings is essential. Although these users are not to be blamed for their hesitance, it needs to be emphasized that the transition to 5G<\/strong> is increasingly becoming a necessity.<\/p>\n The question arises: why should users consider transitioning to 5G<\/strong>? The advantages inherent in the 5G network<\/strong> are plentiful. <\/p>\n One of the primary benefits of 5G<\/strong> is its high speed<\/strong>; the mobile internet can theoretically reach speeds up to 20 Gigabits per second<\/strong>. This remarkable speed allows users to download and stream content more efficiently than ever before. <\/p>\n Another striking benefit of 5G<\/strong> is its significantly reduced latency<\/strong>. This means that the time it takes for data to be transmitted is much shorter compared to 4G<\/strong>, resulting in a smoother user experience. Particularly for gamers or users engaging in real-time applications, this reduction in delay can make a substantial difference.<\/p>\n Moreover, the 5G network<\/strong> leverages new frequencies, mitigating network congestion<\/strong>. 4G networks<\/strong> often struggle in densely populated areas or during events where many users connect simultaneously. With 5G<\/strong>, users experience a more reliable connection, even in crowded environments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n As shown on the coverage map by various providers, including Orange<\/strong>, SFR<\/strong>, Bouygues Telecom<\/strong>, and Free Mobile<\/strong>, the reach of 5G<\/strong> is not limited to major cities. Current estimates indicate that 70% of France’s population<\/strong> is covered by at least one 5G operator<\/strong>. <\/p>\n A further incentive for prospective 5G users<\/strong> is the decrease in prices<\/strong> for mobile subscriptions. The price trends over the past 18 months<\/strong> indicate a significant drop in tariffs<\/strong>. Nowadays, subscribers can easily find 5G plans<\/strong> with generous data allowances for less than \u20ac10<\/strong>. <\/p>\n However, there remains a hurdle: existing smartphones may not be compatible with 5G<\/strong> technology. This necessitates an upgrade, which may explain the relatively low 29% user adoption rate<\/strong> for this new network.<\/p>\n For those interested in making the switch, here are some of the best 5G plans<\/strong> currently available:<\/p>\n Free offers a variety of 5G plans<\/strong> that cater to different user needs, emphasizing both affordability and generous data limits. <\/p>\n Bouygues Telecom also has competitive 5G offerings<\/strong>, ensuring that users get the best value for their usage needs. <\/p>\n As the 5G network<\/strong> expands and improves, the importance of making the switch becomes increasingly evident. With superior speeds, reduced latency, and improved reliability, users can drastically enhance their mobile experience. The current market trends<\/strong> reflect a favorable economic landscape, allowing users to access 5G services<\/strong> without breaking the bank. <\/p>\n Ultimately, the question remains: why wait? The 5G technology<\/strong> is here, and its countless benefits are waiting to be unlocked. As we move forward, it\u2019s imperative not only to recognize the potential of 5G<\/strong> but also to take active steps toward embracing this technology.<\/p>\n Lanc\u00e9e \u00e0 la fin de l’ann\u00e9e 2020, la 5G<\/a> ne cesse de gagner du terrain en France. Mais elle est encore loi d’avoir pris le pas sur la 4G. En effet, sur le dernier march\u00e9 des communications \u00e9lectroniques en France, publi\u00e9 il y a quelques jours par l’Arcep, l’autorit\u00e9 de r\u00e9gulation des t\u00e9l\u00e9coms, la croissance des usagers de la 5G se renforce<\/strong>, avec 10 millions de cartes SIM actives suppl\u00e9mentaires en un an en 2024, pour s’\u00e9tablir \u00e0 24,3 millions.\u00a0<\/p>\n La 4G, elle, conna\u00eet un ralentissement depuis 2021(-7 points en trois ans), mais elle reste encore par les utilisateurs. En t\u00e9moigne ses chiffres du r\u00e9gulateur : “Neuf cartes SIM sur dix (89 %, + 2 points en un an) ont \u00e9t\u00e9 actives sur les r\u00e9seaux 4G fin d\u00e9cembre 2024 et environ trois cartes SIM sur dix sur les r\u00e9seaux 5G (29 %), une proportion en forte progression (+ 12 points en un an).<\/i>“<\/p>\n Au 31 d\u00e9cembre 2024, 29% des 83,9 millions de cartes SIM en service sont actives en 5G. Ce qui veut que 70% des abonn\u00e9s ne sont pas encore pass\u00e9s \u00e0 la 5G.<\/p>\n Sans les bl\u00e2mer, on va quand m\u00eame les inciter \u00e0 souscrire un abonnement compatible avec le nouveau r\u00e9seau mobile.<\/p>\n Il n’y a plus trop de raisons d’h\u00e9siter \u00e0 passer \u00e0 la 5G. Et pour cause, les avantages du nouveau r\u00e9seau mobile sont multiples.<\/p>\n En choisissant un forfait 5G, vous avez la possibilit\u00e9 de tirer profit de toutes les fonctionnalit\u00e9s de votre smartphone. En effet, avec la 5G, l’internet mobile est jusqu’\u00e0 20 fois plus rapide<\/strong> (d\u00e9bit th\u00e9orique maximum de 20 Gb\/s). En outre, avec la 5G, les utilisateurs b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient d’une latence r\u00e9duite<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Enfin, comme la 5G utilise de nouvelles fr\u00e9quences, il n’y a pas de probl\u00e8mes de saturation des r\u00e9seaux<\/strong>, comme cela arrive avec la 4G dans les zones avec une forte densit\u00e9 de population ou lors des rassemblements avec beaucoup de monde connect\u00e9s simultan\u00e9ment.<\/p>\n Avec la 5G, les utilisateurs b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient d’un r\u00e9seau plus robuste avec des performances accrues et un meilleur confort d’utilisation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Et l’avantage, c’est que comme vous pouvez le voir sur notre carte de couverture mobile<\/a>, les villes couvertes avec la 5G d’Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom et Free Mobile ne se limitent pas aux grandes agglom\u00e9rations. Aujourd’hui, 70% de la population est couverte en 5G par plusieurs op\u00e9rateurs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n En outre, comme le montre notre barom\u00e8tre des prix, les tarifs des forfaits mobile sont en chute libre depuis 18 mois. Et aujourd’hui, la 5G ne co\u00fbte pas plus cher que la 5G. Il est en effet tr\u00e8s facile de trouver des forfaits 5G<\/a> avec un tr\u00e8s beau volume de gigas \u00e0 moins de 10\u20ac<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Reste le probl\u00e8me du smartphone : il faut un smartphone compatible 5G pour en b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier, ce qui n\u00e9cessite souvent de changer de smartphone. D’ailleurs, c’est peut-\u00eatre pour cette raison que le nombre d’utilisateurs de la 5G est de 29% (seulement)<\/p>\nCurrent Status of 5G Adoption<\/h3>\n
