Home Internet Plans

BesteAbos helps you compare the best home internet plans in Switzerland.

We do not simply list everything the market has to offer. We independently select the deals that impress us most for value for money and quality of service.

Before you sign up for a new internet plan, take a good look at the router that comes with it. It has to fit your needs. Design matters, but what counts most is upload and download speed (fibre optic or VDSL), installation costs and, of course, the price of the plan, which has a big say in how happy you will be in the end.

Competition between internet providers in Switzerland is fierce, so switching plan and provider can save you a considerable amount. Our Swiss internet plan comparison lets you find the cheapest deal without a long search.

A note about ourselves: we may receive a commission from telecom providers if you take out a plan via our website. This is common practice online and has no influence whatsoever on our selection.

Every day we compare the offers of the main Swiss providers, so you do not miss the best discounts and current promotions. If you are after a low-cost internet plan in Switzerland, Salt, Wingo or Yallo are good places to start on price. Sunrise and Swisscom also launch deals now and then, with plan discounts or gifts such as a free TV. Check back regularly on our internet plan comparison and you will always be up to date with the latest specials and the cheapest promotions.

If you are online with a VDSL or ADSL box today, it is worth asking whether it is time to move to fibre optic. Switzerland's fibre network is among the best developed in Europe, and in cities in particular there is a good chance your home can be connected. A fibre connection costs CHF 100.- on average, and some operators even install it for free. A speed test shows whether your address supports fibre internet. All Swiss telecom providers offer these tests on their websites, and you get the result in seconds. If your address is not on the fibre network, it is at least connected to a DSL network.

And the best part: fibre plans are not more expensive than VDSL connections. Internet prices have fallen sharply in recent years, so now is a good time to switch to high-speed fibre. You notice the difference straight away when loading websites and videos, even when several people are online at once.

Our comparison tool shows you the cheapest internet plans at a glance, with the best deals from a range of Swiss providers. Providers regularly run very attractive promotions at low prices. Fancy a lifelong discount or a year of free surfing? We examine every promotion and present the best internet plan prices clearly. Our tip: before you sign up, find out the activation fee for your connection and the contract term. This matters, because if you leave the provider before the contract ends, you have to pay the monthly instalments until the end of the term, usually between 12 and 24 months. You can compare the cheapest internet plans directly on our platform.

Fibre optic is the fastest internet technology and offers upload and download speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s. Have you tried a speed test on the providers' websites to see whether your household can get high-speed fibre? It is also worth asking your municipality which streets are already connected, as the Swiss high-speed network keeps expanding. If there is no fibre at your address yet, no need to worry: there are other good solutions. First, VDSL is always an option. The connection is somewhat slower than fibre, but some operators offer VDSL plans with over 600 MB, which is already very respectable. Another solution is a hotspot. As the 5G network grows, you can get fast internet at home, provided there is a 5G antenna nearby. That way you get faster internet at the same price.

Most Swiss internet providers offer bundles that combine internet, landline telephony and television. You get all three services from a single source, conveniently and at a good price. The advantage of these so-called triple play deals: internet, TV and landline all run through one internet box, which saves you a tangle of cables. The landline is usually included for free, since many households now prefer to call by mobile and hardly need a landline number any more. Here you can quickly get an overview of the best internet plans and compare Swiss internet tariffs with ease.

Looking for an affordable home internet plan? We show you what matters when choosing the right connection. Start by asking how many people and devices use the internet in your household. If you live alone, a classic DSL plan will do perfectly well. With two or more people at home, we recommend switching to a fibre plan or a 5G hotspot plan. In a large home, extend your Wi-Fi range with a repeater, because thick walls can interfere with the signal. And by the way, the look of the router is not entirely unimportant, especially if it sits in plain view in the living room.

The Swiss internet market has three main providers: Swisscom, Sunrise and Salt. Let's be honest: internet prices in Switzerland are among the highest in Europe. The cheapest plans cost around 39 CHF a month, with a VDSL connection and a speed of 50 MB. Providers also regularly offer high-speed deals: for just under 40 CHF you can get a fibre plan with a 12 to 24 month term. Salt puts the most pressure on prices. 10 GB fibre plans, for example, start at 49.95 CHF including internet TV. Here you will find fibre plans at the best prices.

We independently compare most Swiss internet providers. Our team decides which plans are shown and which are not. Our philosophy: transparently choose the plans we find most interesting. Some providers have external links attached. This means we receive a commission when users buy a partner's offer through our platform. The system is widespread online, is called “affiliation” and does not raise the price for consumers. If you click through to a provider's website from our platform, you are guaranteed to pay the lowest price for your internet plan.
