Orange
Orange shares the top rank of our 2023 fixed-line network test in Belgium with Proximus. Probably due to its fiber-coaxial network, Orange shows particular strengths in the active and passive Download assessments and also achieves good results in the basic KPIs of the Upload category. In terms of Latencies, Orange ranks second in the comparison. In the Stability assessment, Orange achieves a high score together with Proximus and Scarlet. Its convincing performance deserves the grade “very good“.
Telenet
Telenet, that is fighting with Orange for the highest fixed-line customer number in Belgium, comes in third. It shows particular strength in the actively performed Download and Upload measurements, and also scores well in the passively observed Download
Speeds. Especially the good Upload performance is remarkable for a mostly coax-based network. In terms of Stability, Telenet achieves a high score together with Proximus and Scarlet. The operator shows convincing results, also achieving the grade “very good“.
Scarlet
The discount subsidiary of Proximus ranks fourth, but can hold up well especially in the passive Upload and Download assessments as well as in terms of Latencies. In the Stability assessment, Scarlet achieves a high score together with Proximus and Orange. The operator misses a better grade due to its results in the active Download and Upload measurements, which may be due to a lower share of high-bandwidth lines in its customer base. All in all, Scarlet achieves the grade “good“.
