SFR VoIP

Neuf Cegetel was the group formed following the merger between Cegetel and Neuf Telecom in May 2005. The merger enabled the operators to offer triple play services including Internet access, VoIP, TV-over-DSL and WiFi access over ADSL 2+ network.

In April 2007, the operator launched a triple play service based on FTTX technology with speeds of up to 50 Mbps. A year later, the speeds were increased to up to 100Mbps.

In summer 2008, SFR acquired a 96.41 per cent stake in Neuf Cegetel and since Q408 it operates under the SFR brand. In April 2011, Vodafone confirmed the sale of its 44 per cent stake in SFR to Vivendi for GBP 7 billion.

At the end of 2011, SFR had a 25 per cent DSL market share.
