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.
YouFibre
Pros
- Entry pricing of £20 a month sits well inside the 40 place of 95 on price from.
- Setup costs £0, and the brand ranks 1 of 86 on that measure.
- Every plan arrives with Wi-Fi kit in the box, with a higher grade hub on the highest speed tier and mesh boosters available.
Cons
- The advertised rate lasts only for the opening stretch of a fixed term, and the bill then steps up to renewal prices of £34.99 to £129.99.
- Walking away before a fixed term ends brings an early termination charge, which makes the low entry price a costly place to leave from.
- Maximum download speed of 8,000 Mbps ranks 10 of 114, well short of Abissnet at 10,000 Mbps.
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.
YouFibre
Who it suits
- Households already inside the full fibre footprint, in the United Kingdom, that want Wi-Fi kit in the box rather than buying a router separately.
- People who want a short commitment: the monthly rolling package has no fixed term and no early termination charge, though notice is needed in advance.
- Households that can plan around a fixed term, since the advertised rate lasts only for the opening stretch of the term before renewal prices of £34.99 to £129.99 apply.
Who should look elsewhere
- People wanting the highest headline speed in this comparison, since Abissnet lists 10,000 Mbps.
- Households outside the footprint, as coverage reaches 500,000 premises.
- Anyone who needs a mix of technologies, since EarthLink lists fttp, 5G and satellite while YouFibre runs on fttp alone.

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.
YouFibre
What does YouFibre cost to get started?+
Prices start at £20 a month, and the setup fee is £0. The entry rate sits on the slowest plan, and plans with more headroom are priced higher, so a quicker line means a bigger monthly bill. No separate hardware purchase is needed either, because Wi-Fi kit comes in the box on every plan.
What will I pay once the introductory price ends?+
The advertised rate lasts only for the opening stretch of a fixed term. After the minimum term passes, the monthly bill steps up to the list price, and renewal prices run £34.99 to £129.99. That sits well above the £20 entry figure, so treat the list price as the real ongoing cost. Plan contract months of 1, 12 and 24 lets you take a shorter or rolling term instead.
