Find a no-obligation Internet subscription in Switzerland

To date, few Swiss Internet operators offer Internet subscriptions without commitment. The only operators that stand out are Wingo, Digital Republic and Yallo, which offer an Internet package without commitment.

  • Wingo: Internet Box from 500 Mbits to 10 Gbits
  • Yallo: 5G Internet box up to 2 Gbits
  • Digital Republic: 5G Internet box up to 2.5 Gbits

Only available via 5G, the signal quality of the Yallo and Digital Republic offers depends greatly on your proximity to a 5G terminal. Note that thick walls can degrade signal quality, so it's important to place the 5G box where the signal is strong.

Other operators offer packages with a firm commitment of between 12 and 24 months. If you wish to withdraw before the 12 months specified in your contract, you will have to continue paying your monthly instalments until your Internet subscription expires.

At the same time, Salt offers a no-commitment deal, but with high cancellation charges if you leave the operator after a few months. In conclusion, these offers are ideal for people who do not wish to make a commitment or for expatriates who are staying in Switzerland for a limited time.

What are the main advantages of taking out a no-obligation Internet subscription?

Choosing a no-obligation Internet subscription has a number of advantages that can be particularly attractive depending on your needs and situation. Here are a few reasons why a no-obligation Internet subscription may be a good choice:

Flexibility: You are not tied to a long-term contract, so you can change supplier or modify your subscription at any time without penalty. Ideal for people with changing lifestyles, such as students, people on temporary assignments or those who move house frequently.

Economical: You avoid the early termination fees often associated with long-term contracts. You can take advantage of promotional offers or reduced prices often offered to attract new customers, and switch to another offer or supplier once the promotion is over.

Simplicity: The subscription and termination process is often quicker and simpler with virtual operators such as Wingo, without the administrative complications of long-term contracts offered by traditional operators.

Test before you commit: You can test the Internet service and make sure that it meets your expectations in terms of quality and reliability before making a long-term commitment. For example, if you want to test the quality of the 5G signal in your home, you could very well test the service for a few months and see whether the signal is as good as the traditional Internet via the ADSL or fibre network.

Wie lange ist die Kündigungsfrist für ein Internetabonnement ohne Verpflichtungen?

In der Schweiz bieten alle Internetanbieter eine Kündigungsfrist von 60 Tagen an. Wenn Sie also ein Internetabonnement ohne Vertragsbindung abschließen, verpflichten Sie sich mindestens für einen Zeitraum von drei Monaten. Um Ihren Internetvertrag zu kündigen, schicken Sie einfach eine schriftliche Kündigung an Ihren Anbieter oder beantragen Sie online die Kündigung Ihres Vertrags.

What are the experiences with a 5G box without a contract?

Opting for a no-contract 5G box for your internet connection has some interesting advantages, but it's also important to consider some specific points. Here is a detailed review of this option:

Speed and performance: 5G offers download and upload speeds that far exceed those of 4G and are often comparable to those of fibre networks. Latency is significantly reduced with 5G, which is ideal for real-time applications such as gaming, video conferencing and HD video streaming.

Coverage and reception: 5G coverage is not yet available everywhere in Switzerland. If you live in a rural or poorly covered area, you may not be able to benefit from the optimal performance of 5G. Likewise, reception inside buildings may be impaired, especially if you have thick walls.

Easy installation: unlike wired connections such as ADSL or fibre, no technician is required to install a 5G box. You can simply connect the box and start using the Internet. During installation, we recommend that you test your box in different rooms of the house in order to receive the strongest possible 5G signal.

To summarise, a 5G box without a contract offers many advantages in terms of flexibility and performance, but make sure you consider the coverage before you get started.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A no-commitment Internet plan lets you cancel your contract at any time, without waiting for a minimum duration. It’s a flexible and convenient option, ideal for those who don’t want to be tied for 12 or 24 months. This type of plan suits people who rent temporarily or want to try a provider before committing long term. You remain free to stop or switch whenever you choose.

Yes, they are generally slightly more expensive than standard plans because the provider has no guaranteed contract period. Activation fees may also be a bit higher than for fixed-term plans. However, you gain flexibility and avoid termination fees or penalties if you decide to stop your service.

These plans are designed for those seeking freedom and flexibility: • people living in temporary housing or a second home, • students or flat-sharers, • professionals on short-term missions or temporary expats, • users who want to test network quality before signing a long-term contract. They’re also a smart option if you plan to move soon, even though the plan can often be transferred.

Yes, there are a few no-commitment fibre offers, but they remain rare on the Swiss market. Most providers still prefer contracts with a minimum term of 12–24 months. Some no-contract offers reach speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s, for example with Wingo. Note: even for “no-contract” plans, a two-month notice period usually applies before termination.

No, there are no hidden fees or penalties for no-contract Internet plans. The router is included in the price, and there are no unexpected termination costs. However, it’s important to read the terms and conditions carefully, as details such as timing, equipment return, and final billing may vary by provider.

The cancellation can be made directly from your customer account or by email, with a two-month notice period. The process is simple and straightforward. Unlike 12- or 24-month contracts, you don’t have to pay remaining monthly fees. The plan ends on the agreed date, without extra costs, as long as the rented equipment is returned on time.
