Which network does Fonic use? Network coverage and quality

In this practical tip, we clarify the question of which network the mobile operator Fonic uses and which coverage and quality it offers.

Which network does Fonic use?

As a 100% subsidiary of the mobile communications giant O2, Fonic also uses the O2 network.

Fonic: What is the quality of the network and the coverage?

Anyone who chooses a mobile operator should not only pay attention to cheap offers. Network quality and coverage are equally important:

• When it comes to telephony (GSM network), the O2 network is only just behind the Telekom and Vodafone. The UMTS network is well developed in cities and metropolitan areas.
• In the internet sector, O2 has grown strongly, but is also behind the Telekom and Vodafone in the big cities. You can find more information on this in the large CHIP network test.
• The average data set when downloading large files is 15.5 Mbit / s, a good value.
• The hotspots at airports and train stations from O2 impress with the best combination of reliability and speed.
• According to O2, 99% of the population can be reached with the O2 mobile data network, 65% should be equipped with the mobile broadband technology HSDPA / HSUPA.
• However, Fonic customers do not enjoy ultra-fast upload and download with LTE. You continue to surf the O2 3G network (UMTS / HSPA) with a maximum of 7.2 Mbit / s.
