Only want internet at home? Pay for TV too
At the end of the half-year, there were 4.15 million pay-TV subscribers and 4.15 million subscribers to communications bundles. It is no coincidence: if you want internet at home, you are better off paying for television.
If I want only internet at home, and to do without television and the old landline, I will have to choose one of the few offers of this kind on the market. For example, NOS’s “ready-to-use fixed internet” service, with a monthly fee of 24.99 euros and a download speed of 30 Mbps (megabits per second).
However, for just six euros more a month, I can take out a much more robust bundle from the same operator, with three services included: the same 30 Mbps fixed internet, a phone with enough minutes to spend 50 hours on calls and a television subscription with 120 channels, without a box.
