Almost every Belgian internet offer calls itself commitment-free, and the law lets you leave for free after six months anyway. The real lock-in is the price rise in month thirteen. Two-year calculation included, prices recorded on 6 October 2026.
Proximus and Scarlet raised some prices on 1 January 2026, mostly on older plans. Does a price rise give you the right to leave without a fee? It depends on its nature: here is the table of cases, the real cost of each increase and the steps to follow. Figures collected on 2 October 2026.
No, the advertised speed is never guaranteed. Your contract must, however, state a minimum speed and a normally available speed for your address, and a repeated shortfall opens remedies. The worst-case maths on a shared fiber, the legal floor of 10 then 30 Mbps, and the steps to take. Checked on 26 September 2026.
Digi advertises €10/month for 500 Mbps symmetrical, Scarlet €23/month everywhere in Belgium, Proximus €39.99/month on its entry-level fibre plan. The advertised price says almost nothing about the real cost: our twenty-four-month calculation, entry fees included, collected on 19 September 2026.
Belgium does have a social internet tariff, now called the social internet offer: €19/month for a fixed connection, €40/month with TV. Six eligible categories, only three operators, and a package that varies threefold depending on your address. Conditions, amounts and how to apply, collected on 30 August 2026.
Internet + TV + mobile in a single bundle, or fibre alone with the rest à la carte? In Belgium a triple play runs €83 to €156/month at the incumbents, while fibre alone starts at €39.99 with Proximus, €43 with Orange and far less with Digi. Here is the method to work out, figures in hand, whether your bundle pays off. Rates collected in August 2026.
The advertised price is almost never what you pay all year. In Belgium, most fibre plans cut the price for 6 to 12 months, then switch to the regular price — often €10 to €20/month more. Here is how to read a promo, work out the true annual cost and avoid the shock after a year. Figures collected in July 2026.
