Compare internet plans in Belgium

There isn't a single 'best' provider as each offers unique products suited to different needs. Some providers excel in pricing, while others are known for speed or reliability. Use our comparison tool to identify the best plan for your specific requirements.

Start by assessing your internet usage using our simulator at the top of this page. It will help you identify your usage category based on your needs in upload speed, download speed, and data volume. Then, compare plans within that range to find the cheapest option.

We've categorized users into three groups, linked to different upload speed and download speed requirements:

• Heavy users: Those streaming multiple 4K videos, gaming, or transferring large files.
• Regular users: Typical households with moderate internet use for streaming and browsing.
• Light users: Those who primarily check emails or browse occasionally.

You can find a simulator at the top of this page. It will allow you to estimate your needs based on your use cases.

Visit your preferred provider's website and enter your address in their coverage checker. This will show you the available plans and speed specific to your location. This is the easiest way to check internet speed in Belgium.

Switching to a new internet provider in Belgium is straightforward. Start by comparing available plans to find one that suits your needs. Once you've chosen a provider, follow these steps:

1. Check your current contract
   • Review the terms of your existing contract, paying close attention to the notice period and any cancellation fees.
   • Good to know: If you've been with your current provider for at least six months, they cannot charge you a severance fee, thanks to the 2012 telecommunications law.
2. Sign up with your new provider
   • Subscribe to the plan of your choice with your new provider.
   • Many providers offer to handle the cancellation of your old contract as part of the switching process.
3. Coordinate the switch
   • If your new and old providers use the same technology (e.g., fiber or coaxial cable), the switch usually happens automatically on the same day. Simply follow the instructions provided by your new provider.
   • If they use different technologies, ensure the deactivation of your current service and the activation of the new one occur on the same date. You can do this by scheduling the start of your new contract based on the end date of your existing one.

If you're unsure, contact the customer service team of your new provider — they'll be happy to help!

1. Fiber Internet

   Fiber internet uses advanced technology to transmit data as light through ultra-thin glass or plastic cables. It offers a blazing-fast speed, often exceeding 1 Gbps, making it ideal for 4K streaming, gaming, and smart home setups. Though highly reliable, its availability is still limited to areas with fiber infrastructure, which is steadily expanding.

2. Cable internet

   Cable internet delivers data through the same coaxial cables used for cable TV. It provides high-speed connections, typically up to 500 Mbps, but the speed can vary during peak hours when many users share the same network. Widely available in urban and suburban areas, cable internet is a popular choice for families and general entertainment needs.

3. DSL Internet

   DSL internet uses existing telephone lines to provide an internet connection, making it accessible even in rural areas. The speed is slower than fiber or cable, usually up to 100 Mbps, and can decrease if you are far from the provider's central hub. While not the fastest option, DSL is a reliable and affordable solution for occasional surfers and regular users.
