Internet for expats

Are you an expat living in the Netherlands and looking for internet for you home? Navigating the Dutch internet market can be a daunting task, especially if you’re not familiar yet with the Dutch language. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

Types of internet connections

In the Netherlands we have 3 different types of internet connections available:

• ADSL; uses your telephone line to provide internet and is the slowest of the three options
• Cable; Offers a higher speed, but is more expensive than ADSL
• Fiber; Fastest internet in the Netherlands, but it is only available in select areas

Internet providers in the Netherlands

There are many internet providers in the Netherlands, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. The most popular providers for expats are:

• KPN: Offers VDSL and fiber internet with a variety of plans and speed
• Ziggo: Offers cable internet
• Odido: Offers VDSL and fiber internet with a variety of plans and speed

Comparing plans and prices

When you are comparing internet plans, it’s important to consider the speed and if you only live in the Netherlands for a less than a year, you should check out the contract length as well.
Prices can vary widely depending on the provider and the plan you choose, so be sure to shop around at our website to find the best deal. If you need any help, or if you have any questions, you can always contact us via e-mail or call us. We have helped many expats in the last two years.

Setting up your new internet

Once you’ve chosen the perfect internet provider and plan for your needs, setting up internet in your home is usually a straightforward process. If you have chosen a fiber internet plan, the provider usually sends a technician to install any necessary equipment. If you have chosen cable or VDSL connection, you will receive a clear guide how to install the internet. In case of any problems, you can always call the provider for extra help and in some cases, they will send a technician your way to help you out.
