Our verdict on each
Budget Thuis Internet

Eon Next

Pros and cons
Budget Thuis Internet
Pros
- Download and upload match at 1,000 mbps and 1,000 mbps, so sending a large file is as quick as downloading one.
- The setup fee is €0, so nothing has to be budgeted to get connected.
- Contract terms run 12 and 24 months, so you can take the shorter commitment rather than the longest one.
Cons
- Broadband terms run 12 and 24 months and a rolling monthly option is not among the terms listed, so moving home early still means a commitment.
- Coverage sits in a single market, NL, so anyone living outside the Netherlands should set this provider aside.
- Support runs on chat, phone and help centre only, with no email channel listed for questions that need a written trail.
Eon Next
Pros
- Tariff types run to variable, fixed and tracker, a wider spread than Endesa, which lists fixed, time of use and ev.
- Fuels cover electricity and gas, so electricity and gas can sit on the same account.
- Renewable electricity accounts for 27.3% and solar households are paid an export rate of £0.15.
Cons
- Leaving early costs an exit fee of £25, and Eon Next ranks 21 of 29 brands on that measure.
- The unit rate of £0.32 sits at 20 of 23, so the headline rate is not at the front of the table.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, with no live chat channel listed.
Who each suits
Budget Thuis Internet
Who it suits
- Households on fibre in the Netherlands that want download and upload speeds to match.
- Families who want internet and a phone line from one provider, since mobile runs on the KPN network with 5G.
- People who would rather not set money aside for getting connected, because the setup fee is €0.
Who should look elsewhere
- Astound, if cable is what you are after, since Astound lists cable and fttp and Budget Thuis Internet lists fttp and fttc.
- EarthLink, if you want satellite or a 5G fallback, since EarthLink lists fttp, 5G and satellite for its fixed line.
- Abissnet, if you prefer a single fibre approach, since Abissnet lists fttp.
Eon Next
Who it suits
- Households served in GB with rooftop solar or a home charger, who can use the export rate of £0.15 and an off-peak rate of £0.085.
- People who want tariff types to include variable, fixed and tracker so they can change style of plan later.
- Anyone comfortable with a reference annual cost of £166 alongside an exit fee of £25.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers after a green tariff, since Electricity Ratings lists fixed, ev and time of use and Eon Next does not.
- Households that want a prepay option, since Eon Next covers variable, fixed and tracker while Endesa offers fixed, time of use and ev.
- Buyers who expect a cheap exit, since leaving early costs £25 and the brand ranks 21 of 29 on that measure.

Questions about each
Budget Thuis Internet
What is the cheapest plan and how much is it?+
The entry plan, the smallest mobile data package, starts at €3.75 a month, and both it and the Unlimited plan at €10 a month carry an introductory rate for the opening stretch of the contract. Billing runs on a contract basis, so the starting figure and the later figure are worth weighing separately.
What does it cost to get connected?+
Joining broadband costs €0, so there is no installation bill waiting when the connection goes live. That figure covers the fibre side of a household bundle. It means the first thing to write into your budget is the monthly plan rather than a one-off cost.
Eon Next
What does Eon Next cost on a typical year of usage?+
The Next Optimise tariff is listed at a reference annual cost of £166. That is the headline figure to set against other suppliers, and on this comparison Eon Next sits at 1 of 4 brands ranked on that measure. Your own bill will move with your usage.
Is there an exit fee if I leave Eon Next early?+
Yes, leaving early costs £25. On that measure the brand ranks 21 of 29 brands in the comparison, so the fee is worth setting against the headline price before you commit to a term.
