Telenet: from €73.24 per month
The most expensive combination of fixed Internet and TV with Telenet? This is what Giga Internet is currently: unlimited Internet (1000 Mbps) and digital TV via set-top box and app. The most expensive single mobile subscription from the provider is the 13GB Telenet Mobile with unlimited calling, texting and 13GB mobile data. Good for three months at €90.46 per month, nine months at €100.93 and then €113.26.
The cheapest combination of Internet and TV in Telenet? This is easy internet: stable internet with 150GB download and 150Mbps, plus 93 channels via decoder and app. To this we add Telenet Mobile 5GB: unlimited calls and texts and 5GB of mobile data. You pay €72.47 for it for three months and then €80.47 per month.
Did your ISP promise higher speeds than what you actually got? You can do this.
Isn't the trio of fixed internet, TV and mobile cheaper with Telenet? With ONE, you have unlimited internet (250Mbps), calls and texts, 300GB of mobile data and 93 channels via the set-top box and app for six months at €73.24 per month and then €95.39. But you can also combine Easy Internet (€64.47 per month) with the Youfone 12GB (plus unlimited calls and texts), paying €70.47 per month for three months and then paying €76.47 permanently.
Does your employer pay for your cell phone costs? This way you will find the best package for internet and TV only.
Orange: It's hard to beat a single trio
The most expensive package from Orange is Giga Fiber: unlimited fixed Internet (1000 Mbps), digital TV via set-top box and app with 70 channels. GO Extreme is Orange's most expensive single mobile subscription with unlimited calling, texting and 300GB of mobile data. If you combine the two together, you end up with €127 per month.
You pay the least at Orange for Start Fiber with unlimited fixed internet (150Mbps) and 20 channels via the Orange TV Plus app. We combine that with GO Light: unlimited texting, 150 calling minutes, and 6GB of mobile data. Total price: six months at €69, then €73 per month.
Again, the trio is cheaper if you choose the Love Trio with GO Light. This gives you unlimited fixed internet at 150Mbps, unlimited texting, 150 minutes of calls, 6GB of mobile data, and 20 TV channels for €65 per month. A trio that's hard to beat, even if you combine it with a Youfone mobile subscription.
Everything in one package: These are the cheapest subscriptions with Internet, TV, mobile phones and landlines.
Proximus: TV, Internet and mobile from € 52.99
Finally, the most expensive format for fixed Internet and TV at Proximus is Flex S Netflix: unlimited browsing (3TB) at 100Mbps and over 80 TV channels via set-top box and app. You get the most expensive mobile subscription with Mobilus Unlimited: unlimited calls and texts and 300GB of mobile data. Together this costs first €120.48 per month for three months and then €135.48 per month.
The cheapest combination of fixed Internet and TV is Flex S: unlimited browsing (up to 3TB) at 100Mbps and over 80 channels via set-top box and app. In addition, Mobilus Easy is the most affordable mobile subscription: unlimited calls and texts with 10GB of mobile data. For all this you pay €64.98 per month for the first six months and then €92.98 per month.
Here too the triple is cheaper. With Flex S, you can surf unlimited internet (up to 3TB) at 100Mbps, use unlimited calls and texts, 12GB of mobile data, and watch 80+ channels via the set-top box and app. All for six months at €52.99 per month and then €87.99 per month. Again, prices that can't be beat by combining Flex S (Internet and TV) with a mobile subscription from another operator.
