You can filter telecom bundles using the tools at the top of the comparison page:

  • Select the components you need in a bundle: Use the checkboxes to indicate which services you want included in your pack (internet, mobile, TV, and/or landline). This will remove offers that don't include the selected components.
  • Refine your search further: Use the filtering section to narrow your results based on specific needs, such as mobile data volume, calling minutes, internet speed, or whether you prefer a TV box or a TV app for smart TVs.

Once you've applied the filters, you'll only see telecom bundles that match your preferences, making it easier to compare and choose the right one for you.

Are telecom bundles cheaper than separate subscriptions?
Button to expand the text

Yes, telecom bundles are generally more cost-effective than subscribing to internet, mobile, and TV services separately. Here's why:

  • Bundled discounts: Providers typically offer a lower combined price when you take multiple services together.
  • Extra benefits and free services: Many bundles come with special deals such as free installation, access to streaming platforms, or extra mobile data.

However, the savings depend on your actual usage. If you only need one service, a standalone subscription will be cheaper. That's why our comparison tool offers comparisons of both packs and individual products.

Understanding Internet, Mobile, and TV Bundle Features

What's included in a typical telecom bundle in Belgium?

A typical telecom bundle in Belgium combines several services under one contract. The most common components are:

  • Internet - Usually internet via fiber, coaxial cable, or DSL, with speeds ranging from basic to ultra-fast, depending on your location and provider.
  • Mobile - One or more mobile subscriptions, which include a monthly allowance of mobile data, call minutes, and SMS. Some packs also offer unlimited data or low international fees.
  • TV - Access to live channels, replay, recording, and on-demand content. Depending on the provider, TV is delivered via a TV box or a TV app for smart devices.
  • Landline - Some packs still include a fixed phone line, often with free or discounted calls during evenings or weekends.

Not all bundles include every service — some are double (internet + mobile), triple (internet + TV + landline), or full quadruple play. Use our comparison tool to see which components are included in each pack and to filter for what you actually need.

What internet speed do I need in my telecom pack?

The internet speed you need in a telecom bundle depends on how many people use the connection at home and what you do online:

  • Heavy users: If your household streams in 4K, plays online games, or works from home with video calls, you'll want a high-speed connection — ideally fiber or fast cable. For this category of users, we recommend a subscription with an upload speed of at least 100 Mbps, a download speed of at least 300 Mbps, and unlimited data volume.
  • Regular users: For everyday activities like HD streaming, browsing, social media, and occasional video calls, a mid-range speed is usually enough. For this category of users, we recommend a subscription with an upload speed of at least 30 Mbps, a download speed of at least 100 Mbps, and unlimited data volume.
  • Light users: If you mainly check emails or browse the internet, a basic plan will do just fine.

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

How much mobile data do I need in my telecom bundle?

The amount of mobile data you need in a telecom bundle depends on your monthly usage and whether you plan to rely on Wi-Fi at home. Since telecom packs often include both mobile and home internet, you might need less mobile data if you're mostly connected to your home Wi-Fi. We've categorized typical users to help you estimate your data needs:

  • Heavy users: People who stream HD/4K videos or use data-heavy apps outside their home (not using their WiFi) will benefit from high or unlimited mobile data in their bundle.
  • Regular users: If you mostly use mobile data for browsing, social media, or occasional streaming, 5-15 GB is typically enough - especially when complemented by a strong home internet connection.

To find the right bundle for your data needs, use our comparison tool to filter offers by mobile data volume and avoid overpaying for unused data.

How can I check the internet speed and mobile network quality before choosing a telecom bundle?

Before choosing a telecom bundle, it's essential to check both the internet speed availability and mobile network coverage at your address. Here's how to do it in Belgium:

  • Check mobile network coverage: Use the official BIPT coverage map from the Belgian Institute for Postal Services and Telecommunications. Enter your location to view 4G and 5G coverage from different providers and compare mobile network quality in your area.
  • Check internet speed availability: Go to the websites of your preferred provider and use its address checkers to see what internet speed is available at your location. This will help you assess which telecom packs offer the best performance where you live.

By checking both mobile and internet coverage before you choose a bundle, you can ensure better service quality and avoid speed or signal issues later on.

What is the difference between fiber, coaxial cable, and DSL for internet in my telecom pack?
Button to expand the text

In a telecom pack, the type of internet technology (fiber, coaxial, or DSL) influences both your internet performance and how well your bundle supports TV and mobile use at home:

  1. Fiber Internet

    Fiber delivers ultra-fast and stable speeds, ideal for combining high-speed home internet with mobile Wi-Fi offloading and smart TV streaming. However, fiber availability may be limited to areas with the proper infrastructure.

  2. Coaxial Cable Internet

    Cable internet runs over the same coaxial cables used for TV services. It offers solid performance (typically up to 500 Mbps) and is widely available. In bundles, cable is a reliable choice for households using TV decoders or enjoying multiple simultaneous connections, although speeds may drop slightly during peak usage times.

  3. DSL Internet

    DSL uses telephone lines to provide internet access. While slower (up to ~100 Mbps), it's more widely available, including rural areas. DSL-based bundles are best suited for light-to-moderate internet users looking for affordable packs that include basic internet, mobile, and TV services.

Use our telecom pack comparison tool to filter offers by internet technology and find the best bundle for your needs and location.

What is the difference between “TV box” and “TV app” in telecom packs?
Button to expand the text

When you choose a telecom bundle with TV, you'll usually get either a TV box or a TV app — each with its pros and cons:

  • TV box: A physical device provided by the operator that connects to your television. It offers the most complete TV experience with live channels, recording, replay, and pause features. It's ideal for users who want a traditional TV setup with a remote and full functionality.
  • TV app: An application you can install on your smart TV, smartphone, or tablet. It's more flexible and doesn't require extra hardware, but some features like recording or certain premium channels may be limited. It's great for users who prefer watching TV on multiple devices or don't want an extra box.

Use our comparison tool to filter packs based on your TV preference — box or app — and find the best fit for your setup.

  1. Compare available bundles: Use our comparison tool to find the pack that best matches your internet speed, mobile data, and TV needs.
  2. Check your current contract:

  3. Subscribe to the new bundle:
    • Once you've selected a new provider, sign up online or by phone.
    • Most providers will handle the cancellation of your old services, including your mobile number transfer if applicable.
  4. Coordinate the installation or activation:
    • If your old and new providers use the same network type (e.g., coaxial or fiber), the switch is usually seamless.
    • If they use different technologies, make sure the end date of your current contract and the start of the new one are aligned to avoid any service interruption.

If you need help during the process, your new provider's customer service can guide you step by step.

Yes, you can usually keep your phone number when switching to a new telecom bundle that includes mobile service. This is called number portability. During the signup process, most providers let you enter your current number and will take care of the transfer for you. You don't need to cancel your existing mobile plan — your new provider will handle everything.
