France has among the slowest Internet in the rich / highly developed countries group. As recently as 2017 they ranked behind Russia in fixed avg mbps according to Akamai's report and were 5th slowest in Europe. They were #51 globally at that point and Germany was 50% faster and ranked #25 globally. I'm sure it has improved some in the last two years, I doubt it has dramatically leaped forward. They've also performed relatively poorly on mobile speeds (from early 2017): "France got absolutely walloped by all its neighbours, and finished behind 21 other European countries" https://www.thelocal.fr/20170224/we-all-knew-frances-mobile-internet-was-slow-but-its-worse-than-we-thought https://www.thelocal.fr/20170224/we-all-knew-frances-mobile-...
