l’offre à saisir pour dire adieu aux coupures de streaming cet été
Bouygues Telecom is addressing streaming interruptions during high-traffic events like the World Cup with its B&YOU Pure Fibre Plus offer. According to the company, the service provides up to 8 Gb/s download speeds and Wi-Fi 7 technology to prevent buffering for households using multiple 4K screens and numerous connected devices.
Streaming failures often happen during critical moments, such as season finales or decisive sports matches. Bouygues Telecom attributes these disruptions to three main factors: insufficient bandwidth for simultaneous 4K streams, congested Wi-Fi networks handling 10 to 20 devices, and general connection instability.
Why does streaming quality drop during major events?
Insufficient bandwidth occurs when a connection cannot absorb the total demand of multiple users watching 4K content. This causes image quality to collapse or the stream to freeze, according to Bouygues Telecom.
Network congestion is another primary cause. Older Wi-Fi generations struggle to distribute signals when smartphones, tablets, consoles, and smart objects are connected simultaneously. Instability further complicates this, creating micro-cuts that lead to frequent reloading.
How does B&YOU Pure Fibre Plus prevent buffering?
The B&YOU Pure Fibre Plus offer provides download speeds of up to 8 Gb/s for eligible XGS-PON connections. Bouygues Telecom states this capacity ensures the connection is not a limiting factor, even with six 4K screens running at once.
The Bbox Wi-Fi 7 XT utilizes tri-band Wi-Fi 7, including a dedicated 6 GHz band for newer devices to reduce congestion. It also employs MLO technology to maintain stability during band interference.
For total reliability, the Bbox Ultym includes a “Wi-Fi Garanti” option. This feature automatically switches the connection to the mobile network during fiber outages or network cuts to prevent interruption.
What are the pricing and contract terms?
The service costs €26.99 per month at a fixed price with no long-term commitment. Bouygues Telecom allows customers to cancel at any time and offers up to €50 in reimbursement for cancellation fees when switching from another operator.
A discount is available for users who bundle the service with a B&YOU 130 Go 5G mobile plan. This bundle provides a €5 monthly discount for 12 months, reducing the box price to €21.99 per month for the first year.
What may happen next for home connectivity?
As more households adopt XGS-PON eligibility, the reliance on 8 Gb/s speeds could become the standard for high-density entertainment homes. The integration of automatic mobile failovers may likely reduce the perceived impact of physical fiber damage.
Users may increasingly prioritize tri-band hardware to manage the growing number of smart home devices. This shift could lead to a decrease in the “buffering wheel” during peak global sporting events.
