Troubleshooting Sosh Issues
Common Sosh connection problems and how to fix them.
Livebox S Wi-Fi signal is weak in rooms far from the router
Cause: Wi-Fi signal weakens through walls and floors. The Livebox S placement may be in a corner or behind furniture.
- Move the Livebox S to a central location in your home
- Enable the 5 GHz and 6 GHz Wi-Fi bands in the Livebox settings at 192.168.1.1
- Order a Wi-Fi repeater from Sosh at sosh.fr for EUR 3 per month
- Use ethernet cables for devices that need stable connections like gaming consoles
- Avoid placing the Livebox near microwaves, baby monitors, or thick concrete walls
Fiber installation takes longer than the announced 2-3 week timeline
Cause: Building fiber infrastructure may require additional work. Technician availability varies by region.
- Track your order status in the Sosh app under Suivi de commande
- Verify that your building has fiber installed to the distribution point
- Contact Sosh support via the app chat for a status update
- If your building lacks fiber infrastructure, ask Sosh about the Orange fiber deployment timeline for your address

Sosh Speed Test FAQ
Is Sosh the same network as Orange?
Sosh operates entirely on Orange's fiber and mobile network, which is the largest in France. The internet speeds, network quality, and reliability are identical to Orange. The difference is in customer service and pricing. Sosh is a digital-only brand with online and app-based support, while Orange offers retail stores and phone support. Sosh plans are typically EUR 10 to EUR 20 cheaper per month than equivalent Orange plans.
How fast is Sosh fiber internet?
Sosh fiber delivers up to 2 Gbps download and 800 Mbps upload speeds using Orange's FTTH network. Since February 2025, the Boite Sosh includes the Livebox S with Wi-Fi 7 for improved wireless performance. Actual speeds depend on your fiber connection type, device capabilities, and distance from the router. For maximum speed, connect via ethernet cable directly to the Livebox S.
Does Sosh require a contract commitment?
Sosh plans have no commitment period. You can cancel at any time without penalty or termination fees. The monthly price of EUR 24.99 remains fixed and does not increase after a promotional period. This is a key advantage over Orange and other providers that often raise prices after 12 months. Sosh also handles termination of your previous provider and reimburses up to EUR 100 in exit fees.
How do I test my Sosh internet speed?
