Our verdict on each
Frontier Communications
Frontier Communications suits households in the US that want top tier fibre speed without a long contract, and it undercuts many rivals on entry price at $29.99. The catch is a setup fee of $100 plus a charge for leaving early on some promotional deals.
Odido Thuis
Odido Thuis suits Dutch households that want fibre up to 8,000 Mbps plus a 5G option from the same provider, rather than shopping across several companies for both. It runs in a single market under Odido Netherlands bv, and entry starts at €20 with the price held after the contract term at €36.50.

Pros and cons
Frontier Communications
Pros
- Entry pricing of $29.99 sits in the lower part of our price table, and the reference plans come with no fixed term
- Top download of 7,000 Mbps and upload of 7,000 Mbps put it near the front of the speed table
- A current Wi-Fi router is included, and Whole Home Wi-Fi mesh comes on the gigabit tier and anything faster
Cons
- A setup fee of $100 lands near the expensive end of the setup fees we track
- Some promotional deals add a charge for leaving early, and disconnecting soon after joining means paying back part of the installation cost
- Service is confined to a single market, US, so it is not an option outside the US
Odido Thuis
Pros
- Upload of 8,000 Mbps ranks near the front of the broadband field, which matters for backups and large file transfers.
- Max download of 8,000 Mbps clears the site median of 1,000 Mbps and the rolling broadband median of 2,000 Mbps.
- Two technologies under one roof: fttp and 5G, so a home without fibre can still take 5G.
Cons
- The €36.50 you pay after the intro period sits far above the entry price of €20, so the cheap headline does not carry into later billing.
- A setup fee of €20 applies, against a rolling broadband median of €0 that sits at the low end.
- An annual inflation correction can lift the monthly bill, and the 24 and 1 month term leaves little room to move.
Who each suits
Frontier Communications
Who it suits
- Households in the US inside Frontier's fibre footprint, willing to accept a setup fee of $100 for a lower monthly price
- Anyone who needs gigabit speeds for large uploads, remote work backups or shared media
- People who want to leave without a long lock-in, since the reference plans run on rolling monthly terms
Who should look elsewhere
- Households outside the US, since service is confined to a single market, US
- Shoppers who want a cable package rather than pure fibre, since Astound runs cable and fttp
- People hunting for the very lowest entry price, since cheaper options sit below $29.99
Odido Thuis
Who it suits
- Households in the Netherlands with fibre at the address that need strong upload for work or backups
- People who want one provider for both fibre and 5G rather than separate broadband and mobile deals
- Renters or short-term movers who prefer a rolling 5G option to a long fibre term
Who should look elsewhere
- Households that want cable alongside fibre, since Astound lists cable and fttp
- Buyers wanting a satellite option for remote addresses, since EarthLink lists fttp, 5G and satellite
- Price-led shoppers, given the entry price ranks at 27 among the brands compared

Questions about each
Frontier Communications
What is the entry price for Frontier fibre?+
Plans start at $29.99 a month, and the reference tiers step up in speed from there to a multi gigabit option at the top. Every one of them is sold on rolling terms, so the monthly figure is the number to compare against rival quotes. Speeds, not term length, are what separate the tiers here.
Do I have to sign a contract with Frontier?+
No. The reference plans, from the entry tier through to the multi gigabit tier, are all sold without a fixed term, and the listed contract length is a rolling monthly term. That leaves you free to cancel without counting out a period first, which suits anyone who expects to move or switch.
Odido Thuis
What does broadband cost at Odido Thuis?+
Broadband starts at €20 a month, and that figure belongs to the cheapest Internet plan rather than the top tier. It is an introductory rate for the first year, running on a 24 and 1 month contract. The 5G option is billed monthly at its own rate, so it needs no long term.
What is the price after the contract ends?+
Once the term finishes, the monthly price is €36.50. That sits close to the full-fibre median of €43.08 on the site, so the step up from the entry price is normal for a fibre deal. An annual inflation correction can adjust the figure further each year.
