Orange Livebox 5

Little change, if not the price

Orange has just released its new Livebox which, if it does not bring much to subscribers again, allowed the operator to increase the price of its packages.

Three and a half years after having launched its Livebox 4 with fanfare, Orange releases the brand new version of its box, this time in much greater discretion. It must be said that alongside its current competitors, such as the Freebox Delta or the SFR Box 8, the Livebox 5 rather pale figure.

Aesthetically first. In matt black plastic with rather unsightly streaks, the livebox 5 is not very attractive. Inside, it is hardly better. Its main innovation is its “Doubled flow” which allows him to reach a flow of 2 Gbits/s in reception and up to 600 Mbits in sending. If certain foci equipped with fiber optics will be able to gain in comfort, for most users, the real gain will be limited. Because if the total speed may well approach the 2 GBITS/S, each device will only benefit from a maximum of 1 Gbit/s, or even less if other equipment also uses the bandwidth. It will also be necessary, to benefit from such speeds, that computers, smartphones and connected tablets are also compatible with such flows.

Orange also highlights the intelligent Wi-Fi of its new box. Thanks to this technology, wireless connections are supposed to be more stable thanks to the reduction of disturbances generated by neighboring and faster networks thanks to the automatic selection of the best frequency (2, 4 or 5 GHTZ). On this point also the gain should be limited, especially since Orange has integrated Wi-Fi 5, while its competitors are starting to equip their new Wi-Fi 6 boxes, supposed to bring a real performance gain and the devices integrating this new standard are called upon to multiply. Note that for those who wish to extend the scope of their Wi-Fi in their accommodation, Orange provides them with a repeater for free.

100 % recycled, but € 2 more expensive

But the point on which insists the most orange is the “sustainable development” aspect of its new box. The Livebox 5 is not only designed 100 % from recycled plastic, but in addition it was lightened and made more compact in order to limit its ecological impact. If each box is smaller, we put more in the trucks and the carbon footprint is better. The Livebox 5 is not, however, the only box to have made a weight loss. As for the reduction in the number of components, it also has an impact on the services offered: unlike some of its competitors, the Livebox 5 does not integrate either connected speaker, NAS server to share files, vocal assistant, or disk Hard to record programs.

In the end, the Livebox 5 does not bring anything revolutionary. In a sense, it’s pretty healthy. While some operators have embarked on a race for innovations not necessarily useful, the sobriety of Orange is to be emphasized. The boredom is that due to the lack of Wi-Fi 6, the Livebox 5 could quickly prove to be exceeded and push some users to replace it fairly quickly, which would have an impact on the ecological footprint of this box which seems so important for Orange. The other concern is that the improvements made do not seem to justify any price increase. Orange, however, took the opportunity to increase the price of its associated offer by 2 €, the Livebox Up Fiber. It is now necessary to spend almost € 50 per month (exactly € 49.99) to benefit from this new box with a promotional offer at € 30.99/month for 12 months for new customers. As for the Open Up Fiber packs, they cost € 52.99 to € 114.99 per month depending on the associated mobile package, placing Orange among the most expensive Internet providers on the market.
