FibreCable5G at home
What types of home internet are there?
| Type | Features |
|---|---|
| Fibre | High, stable speeds, also for uploading. Not available at every address. |
| Cable | Widely available and fast, often bundled with TV. |
| DSL (copper) | Available almost everywhere, but usually slower. |
| Mobile (4G/5G) at home | A router with a SIM card. Handy when there is no fixed connection (yet). |
Check your address first
What you can get depends on your postcode and house number. Always check which connections are available at your address first. Also ask your landlord whether the home already has a connection.
Plan ahead
Getting connected can take a while, especially if a technician has to visit. Order well before your moving date. In the meantime, use your phone's hotspot or a mobile router.
Combining with mobile
Some providers give a discount or extra data if you combine home internet and mobile with them. Check whether the bundle really is cheaper than two separate choices.
What do you need?
- An address in the Netherlands for the connection.
- A valid ID document and a bank account.
- With most providers, also a BSN.
