Choosing a provider in the Netherlands is easier once you understand one thing: the company that owns the cable in your street is not always the company that sends you the bill. Fiber networks are built by companies such as KPN, Delta and Open Dutch Fiber, and Ziggo owns the national cable network. Retail brands then sell packages over those networks. This page puts the main providers head to head, so you can decide quickly between the two or three that are available at your address. Each provider also has its own in-depth review.

Speeds and starting prices below come from our current deal table and were checked in October 2026. Promotions change often, so the provider always confirms the final price for your address.

Odido

Odido is the brand that replaced T-Mobile in the Netherlands. It sells fiber packages over partner networks, including multi-gigabit tiers up to 8,000 Mb/s at addresses that support them, which makes it a frequent pick for people who want the highest speeds available. Odido also offers a plug-in 5G home internet product that does not need a technician, useful for short stays or while waiting for a fixed line.

KPN

KPN is the largest telecom company in the Netherlands and owns an extensive fiber network as well as the legacy copper network used for DSL. It offers a broad range of speeds, TV options and its own mesh Wi-Fi system. KPN tends to suit households that value an established brand and a wide service network. Read the full KPN internet review.

Ziggo

Ziggo runs the national cable (coax) network, which reaches most Dutch homes. That makes it a common choice where fiber is not yet connected. Cable delivers high download speeds, but upload is considerably lower than on fiber, which matters for video calls and cloud backups. Ziggo is also known for TV packages. Read the full Ziggo internet review or the cable internet guide.

Delta

Delta builds and operates its own fiber network in many parts of the country and sells fast symmetric packages over it, including multi-gigabit tiers. If your address is on a Delta fiber network, it is worth including in your comparison. Availability depends strongly on region, so check your postcode first. Read the full Delta internet review.

Budget Thuis

Budget Thuis is a low-cost brand that sells internet over existing networks. Because the physical network is the same, speeds can be similar to bigger brands, while service is mostly online. It is a good fit if price is your priority and you are comfortable arranging things digitally. Read the full Budget Thuis internet review.

Youfone

Youfone is a budget provider known for simple packages and low monthly prices. Its entry-level DSL plans are aimed at light users, students and single-person households who mainly browse, stream in HD and make the occasional video call. Check whether fiber is available at your address too, because a budget fiber plan can offer far more speed for a small difference in price. Read the full Youfone internet review.

Head-to-head match-ups

KPN vs Ziggo

The classic Dutch choice: fiber against cable. KPN fiber gives symmetric upload (up to 4,000 Mb/s in our table), while Ziggo's 1 Gb/s cable package has 100 Mb/s upload. If you work from home or upload often, KPN fiber wins. If fiber is not available at your address, or you want a strong TV bundle, Ziggo is the practical choice. On price, Ziggo's average first year in our table (€39.65) is lower than KPN's (€48.13).

Odido vs KPN

Both sell fiber, often at the same address. Odido has the higher top tier (8,000 Mb/s) and a 5G home internet option for short stays. KPN offers its own network, a wide range of extras and a large service organisation. For most households the deciding factors are price after the discount and the router included, not the maximum speed.

Delta vs KPN

Both own fiber networks, but in different areas. If your address is on Delta's network, compare the two directly: Delta's 14-month discount keeps its average close to the promo price (€49.38 in our table), while KPN starts lower at €35 but rises after 12 months.

Budget Thuis vs Youfone

The two budget options. Budget Thuis offers 1 Gb/s fiber for €20 per month during the discount; Youfone's 100 Mb/s DSL plan is cheaper at €16.25. If fiber reaches your home, the small difference usually makes Budget Thuis the better value. For one light user on DSL, Youfone is hard to beat on price.

FAQ

Questions about Dutch providers

What is the difference between a network and a provider?

A network owner builds and maintains the physical cables, such as KPN, Delta and Open Dutch Fiber for fiber, or Ziggo for cable. Providers sell internet packages to consumers, either over their own network or over someone else's. Several providers can therefore offer service at the same address over the same network.

Is a budget provider slower than a big brand?

Not necessarily. Budget brands often use the same physical networks as the big brands. The main differences are usually customer service, the router supplied and extras such as TV, rather than the network itself.

Which provider has the best customer service in English?

Most large Dutch providers offer some English-language help online or by phone, but the level of support varies and changes over time. If English support is important to you, check the provider's support pages before ordering.
