Our verdict on each
Budget Thuis Internet
Budget Thuis Internet suits Dutch households that want upload and download speeds that match, and it sets up for free with a modem in the box. The entry plan starts at €3.75 a month, so the monthly figure is the main thing to weigh.
Twigby Mobile
Twigby Mobile suits US customers who want a sim only line with no contract and eSIM support, and the price on entry is one of the sharper ones on the site. The catch is what happens after the introductory period, when renewal rates sit well above $5.

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.
Twigby Mobile
Pros
- Entry pricing of $5 sits comfortably in the lower end of the plans we price up.
- Billing is rolling and plan contract length is 1 month, so there is no long tie-in.
- Sim only, eSIM, 5G, wifi calling and hotspot sharing are all included.
Cons
- Renewal pricing on the entry plans is well above the $5 headline once the introductory period ends.
- Support runs on chat and help centre, so there is no phone line for problems that need a voice.
- The unlimited plan costs $25, a large step up from the entry figure of $5.
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.
Twigby Mobile
Who it suits
- US customers bringing their own handset and happy with a sim only line
- People who want a rolling monthly plan with no contract commitment
- Travellers or switchers who prefer an eSIM over a plastic card
Who should look elsewhere
- Customers who need unlimited data on a small budget, since the unlimited tier costs $25
- Anyone who prefers to phone support, because support runs on chat and help centre
- Readers outside US, where the service is not offered

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.
Twigby Mobile
How much does Twigby Mobile cost to start?+
Plans start at $5 on a rolling monthly basis, with a plan contract length of 1 month. That headline figure is introductory, so the standard rate is higher once the first period ends. Budget on the standard rate rather than the opening price.
What does unlimited data cost?+
The unlimited plan is priced at $25. That is well above the $5 entry figure, so unlimited data is a step up rather than a default. Billing stays rolling, so nothing locks you in beyond the rolling month.
