How to Get Cheap Internet in Belgium in 2027?

Person comparing internet plans in Belgium — Comparing internet plans can help Belgian households reduce their monthly bills.

Internet has become an essential part of everyday life in Belgium. We use it for work, school, streaming, shopping, banking and staying in touch with family and friends.

But that does not mean you need the most expensive or fastest internet package.

Many Belgian households pay for unlimited data and very high speeds even though they rarely use all of it. If you are looking for a cheaper internet subscription in Belgium in 2027, the first step is to understand how much internet you actually use.

Prices and plans can change, so always check the provider’s latest offer and availability at your address before signing up.

How Much Internet Do You Really Need?

A single person who mainly checks email, browses websites and watches some videos may not need a very fast connection.

A family with several people working from home, streaming 4K video and playing online games will usually need more speed and unlimited data. This is why the cheapest package is not necessarily the best choice for everyone.

The right question is not “Which provider is the cheapest?” It is: “How much internet do I actually need?”

DIGI: Very Low-Cost Internet in Belgium

DIGI has changed the Belgian internet market by introducing significantly lower prices in areas where its own network is available.

According to the Belgian Institute for Postal Services and Telecommunications (BIPT), DIGI’s Fiber 500 Mbps plan was available for 10 euros per month, with unlimited data and 500 Mbps download and upload speeds. Its Fiber 1 Gbps plan was listed at 15 euros per month.

DIGI’s network is not available everywhere in Belgium, however.

The BIPT says that DIGI’s own fiber network is currently available in locations including Brussels, Charleroi and Liège, and advises consumers to check availability at their address.

This is important because a very cheap advertised price does not help if the service is not available at your home.

Scarlet: A Low-Cost Option

Scarlet remains one of the lower-priced traditional internet providers in Belgium.

Its internet plans start at 23 euros per month. Scarlet also offers packages combining internet with other services, starting from 42 euros per month.

The entry-level Scarlet Poco plan is designed for people who do not need a large amount of data. According to current market comparisons, it costs 23 euros per month and offers speeds of up to 30 Mbps download.

For heavier users, Scarlet also has unlimited options. This can make Scarlet worth considering if you want to keep your monthly bill relatively low without choosing a very small data package.

Proximus: More Expensive, With Unlimited Options

Proximus has changed its internet lineup significantly compared with the older plans mentioned in the original version of this article.

Its current entry-level Internet Light plan costs 39.99 euros per month and includes 200 GB of data with download speeds of up to 100 Mbps.

Internet Go costs 59.99 euros per month at the standard price and includes unlimited internet. The fiber version offers download speeds of up to 150 Mbps.

For customers who need more speed, Proximus also offers fiber plans reaching 500 Mbps and 2 Gbps.

One important thing to remember is that promotional prices can be significantly lower than the standard price for a limited period. Always check what you will pay after the promotion ends.

Telenet: Different Speeds and Unlimited Internet

Telenet remains one of Belgium’s major internet providers.

Its current internet range includes Internet Basic at 56 euros per month, Internet Standard at 65 euros and Internet Turbo at 85 euros under the pricing shown by the provider in 2026. The plans offer download speeds of up to 200 Mbps, 500 Mbps and 2.5 Gbps respectively.

Telenet also regularly runs promotions for new or existing customers.

For example, its promotional offers in 2026 temporarily reduced the monthly price of some internet plans. However, these discounts were limited in time, so you should always look at the regular price after the promotional period.

Orange: Home Internet and Flybox

Orange offers both traditional home internet and mobile-network-based options.

Its Home Flybox service can be useful for people who do not have access to the type of fixed connection they want or who prefer a mobile-network solution.

The current Orange Home Flybox offers include a 15 GB option for 20 euros per month and a 150 GB option for 28 euros per month under the listed 2026 conditions.

The actual price and availability can depend on your location and the offer available when you sign up.

Mobile Vikings: Unlimited Internet From 40 Euros

Mobile Vikings has also become an important alternative for Belgian consumers looking for internet without the pricing structure of the largest traditional operators.

Its current internet plans start at 40 euros per month for Unlimited Fast Internet, with download speeds of up to 150 Mbps on fiber and unlimited data.

Its faster fiber plans go considerably higher, including options reaching several gigabits per second.

Mobile Vikings also says that its internet price remains stable rather than relying on a temporary promotional discount that later disappears.

What About Mobile Phone Plans?

You do not necessarily need to buy your mobile phone plan from the same company as your home internet provider.

Mobile Vikings, for example, currently offers a 10-euro mobile subscription with 10 GB of data, 150 minutes and unlimited text messages. A 15-euro plan includes 40 GB and unlimited calls and texts.

Scarlet also offers low-cost mobile plans. As of October 2026, its Red plan costs 8 euros per month and includes 10 GB of mobile data, while its Berry plan costs 10 euros and includes 15 GB.

BASE also offers several mobile plans, although prices and promotions can change. Its current range includes plans starting from 15 euros before applicable promotions.

Do You Really Need Unlimited Internet?

This is where many households can potentially save money.

If you live alone and mainly browse websites, use social media, check email and occasionally stream videos, you may not need the fastest unlimited plan.

However, unlimited internet can make sense for a large household.

If several people are streaming video, working from home, downloading large files and using connected devices at the same time, a small data allowance can become inconvenient very quickly.

Before choosing a plan, think about how many people use the connection and what they do online.

Check the Price After the Promotion

One of the biggest mistakes consumers make is looking only at the introductory price.

A provider might offer a major discount for several months and then return you to the regular price.

For example, Proximus currently advertises promotional prices on some internet plans, but the standard monthly price applies after the promotional period.

Telenet also uses temporary promotions on some plans.

Always calculate what you will pay over a full year rather than looking only at the first few months.

Check Which Providers Are Available at Your Address

Internet availability varies across Belgium. Fiber may be available on one street but not another. The same applies to cable, DSL and newer mobile-network internet services.

The BIPT recommends using its BestTariff comparison tool to find offers that match your needs and are available in your situation.

You should also check the provider’s own website before ordering because prices, promotions and network availability can change.

How to Lower Your Internet Bill?

If you think you are paying too much, start with these steps:

Check your current monthly bill.
Look at how much data you actually use.
Check the download and upload speeds you really need.
Compare your current price with alternative providers.
Check whether fiber is available at your address.
Look at the regular price after any promotion ends.
Consider whether you really need television included in your package.
Check whether combining mobile and internet services gives you a useful discount.
Do not pay for speeds you will never use.

Which Internet Provider Should You Choose?

There is no single internet provider that is the right choice for every household in Belgium.

If price is your main concern, low-cost providers such as DIGI and Scarlet are worth checking, where their services are available. If you want a larger traditional provider, Proximus, Telenet and Orange offer a wider range of internet and bundle options.

The BIPT’s 2026 market comparison shows just how large the price differences can be between providers and plans. For example, its comparison lists low-cost offers from DIGI and Scarlet alongside significantly more expensive high-speed plans from major operators.

The best choice depends on your address, household size, internet usage and the price you will actually pay after promotions end.

You do not need to spend 60 or 70 euros every month just to have a reliable internet connection in Belgium.

In 2027, consumers have more options than they did a few years ago, particularly with the arrival and expansion of DIGI and the continued growth of alternative providers.

Before changing your subscription, check what you actually use and compare the full cost rather than the promotional price.

A cheaper plan may be all you need. And if your current provider is charging you for speed or data that you rarely use, switching could make a noticeable difference to your monthly budget.
