What These SFR Results Mean
Best Use Case
SFR is well suited to gaming, video calls, remote work, and heavy cloud use because its benchmark combines low ping with strong upload speed.
Upload Profile
Upload is close to download speed, which usually indicates a symmetric or fibre-heavy service profile.
Technology Notes
SFR uses FTTH (GPON), Coaxial Cable (DOCSIS 3.1), VDSL2. Technology affects upload symmetry, latency, evening congestion, and how close you can get to advertised plan speeds.

SFR vs France Broadband Benchmarks
Use this comparison to separate provider performance from the wider market. A result below your plan speed may still be normal for your connection type, but a wired test far below both your plan and the country benchmark deserves troubleshooting.
| Metric | SFR | France median | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Download | 510 Mbps | 168.9 Mbps | Above the national median benchmark. |
| Upload | 440 Mbps | 175.2 Mbps | Upload is competitive for France. |
| Ping | 6 ms | 10 ms | Latency is at or better than the country median. |
How to Run a SFR Speed Test
- Connect via Ethernet - For the most accurate baseline, connect your device directly to your router or modem with an Ethernet cable. Wi-Fi introduces variables that can mask your true plan speed. See our accuracy guide for full tips.
- Close background apps - Pause streaming, downloads, and backups. Other devices on your network also consume bandwidth.
- Start the speed test - Click GO on our homepage. The test measures download, upload, ping, and jitter in about 30 seconds.
- Compare your result - Check your measured speeds against the typical SFR results above. If you're significantly below your plan speed, review the common issues section below or contact SFR support.
