Which network does Fyve use? Network coverage and quality
If you want to get a SIM card from Fyve, you should inform yourself beforehand about the network, the coverage and the quality. In this article we clarify how Fyve performs in these areas.
How good is the Fyve network? - Quality and coverage in the check
- Fyve uses the Vodafone mobile network for all of its prepaid tariffs. In the CHIP network test in 2014, Vodafone achieved second place behind Telekom.
- In terms of LTE, the network provider is very far ahead. In the test, an LTE network was always available to 75 percent. But the joy quickly fades: You cannot use the LTE network at all with a Fyve tariff.
- A conversation often breaks off on country roads and motorways. Deutsche Telekom never lost a single call, and Vodafone only had a few. E-Plus and O2, on the other hand, could not shine with either the voice quality or the connection stability.
- In general, the Vodafone network is in very good condition, but Telekom is still ahead. Compared to O2 and E-Plus, however, Vodafone is doing very well. With a Fyve contract you are on the safe side.
