Top 7 best TV and internet bundles 2026

Why rank TV and internet bundles on the thirteenth bill?

Because that is the amount you will pay for the longest. A Belgian promotion runs for twelve months, and sometimes only three at Proximus. A TV and internet bundle, by contrast, is kept for three to five years. The promotion therefore accounts for between 5 and 25 % of the total bill, and yet it is the only figure printed large on the sign-up pages.

I installed set-top boxes for seven years around Namur, a city in southern Belgium. The script never varied: the customer signed on a headline price, forgot the contract anniversary date, and discovered the increase on the thirteenth month's bill. No dedicated letter. One line that changes, nothing more.

Across the 28 TV and internet bundles surveyed on 28 August 2026 for postcode 4000, the gap between the headline rate and the full rate runs from 0.00 to 14.00 euros a month. Zero at TADAAM, Scarlet, VOO, Orange and Proximus, which show a single rate on their entry formulas. Fourteen euros at Telenet Standard + TV Iconic, or 168.00 euros over a full year. Two bundles that sat within 5.00 euros of each other on signing day can therefore end up 168.00 euros apart. This is the most expensive variable on the Belgian market, and the least advertised.

What is the cheapest TV and internet bundle in Belgium?

BASE Limited internet + App TV, at 37.00 euros a month post-promotion. It is the only bundle on the Belgian market to stay under 40.00 euros once the promotion ends, and it gets there by giving up two things: the set-top box, replaced by an app, and the data allowance, capped at 300 GB at 50 Mbps.

The full ranking on the thirteenth bill, surveyed on 28 August 2026 for postcode 4000: BASE Limited internet + App TV at 37.00 euros, TADAAM Standard at 40.00 euros, Scarlet Trio at 45.00 euros, Orange Livebox + TV Lite at 63.00 euros, VOO Duo Rapide + Streaming at 65.00 euros, Telenet Basic + TV Iconic at 71.00 euros and Proximus Flex+ + TV at 75.99 euros.

The gap between first and last reaches 38.99 euros a month, or 467.88 euros over a year. You are obviously not buying the same thing: 28 channels without a box and 300 GB on one side, 80 channels with a box and unlimited internet at 100 Mbps on the other. The question to settle is therefore not which is cheapest, but whether the 52 extra channels are worth 38.99 euros a month in your home.

Where does the steepest price increase on the Belgian market hide?

In the middle of the catalogue, not at entry level. That is the result that surprised me most when working through the 28 August 2026 survey.

Intuition says the cheapest bundles hide the biggest jump. The figures say the opposite. BASE Limited internet + App TV rises by 4.00 euros in the thirteenth month, from 33.00 to 37.00 euros. Telenet Standard + TV Iconic rises by 14.00 euros, from 71.00 to 85.00 euros. Telenet Turbo + TV Iconic also rises by 14.00 euros, from 91.00 to 105.00 euros. Orange Livebox Giga + TV Lite rises by 10.00 euros, from 72.00 to 82.00 euros.

Over twelve months, the Telenet Standard increase amounts to 168.00 euros. The BASE increase amounts to 48.00 euros. Three and a half times less, on a bundle half the price.

The rule that comes out of this fits in one sentence: the more expensive the bundle at sign-up, the higher the thirteenth-month step. A household hesitating between two mid-range formulas over 5.00 euros is therefore comparing the wrong number. Find the “then X euros/month” line on the sign-up page, and redo the sum over twenty-four months before you sign.

Should you pay for the set-top box or settle for the app?

At BASE, the set-top box costs 5.00 euros a month and changes nothing about the channel package. Limited internet + App TV comes to 37.00 euros post-promotion. Limited internet + TV, strictly identical but with the box, comes to 42.00 euros. Same 28 channels, same 300 GB, same 50 Mbps. The gap is the hardware alone: 60.00 euros a year.

The same 5.00 euro gap appears one tier up, between Unlimited internet + App TV at 50.00 euros and Unlimited internet + TV at 55.00 euros. Box billing is therefore a flat fee, independent of the rest of the bundle.

Three questions before paying those 60.00 euros a year. Does your television accept the operator's app, or will it need an external device anyway? Do you mostly watch live, or mostly catch-up? Do you record programmes, which an app does not always allow?

If all three answers lean towards the app, the box is one more rental for hardware you will hand back when you leave. If you watch live television on an older set, it remains essential.

Which operator actually serves your address?

Three networks share Belgium, and two of them stop at the language border. VOO runs the cable in Wallonia, the French-speaking south, and in Brussels. Telenet runs the cable in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking north, and in Brussels. Proximus covers the whole country on its own copper and fibre network.

The other four operators in this ranking own no TV network. Scarlet resells the Proximus network. Orange and BASE resell access over the cable. TADAAM runs over 4G and 5G, with no cable at all, which often makes it the only option that installs quickly in a poorly served area or a temporary home.

Brussels is the only region where the two cable networks overlap, and competition is sharpest there. In Liège, Namur or Charleroi, Telenet is not an option. In Ghent or Antwerp, VOO is not one either.

I have seen coverage maps show an entire street in green while the fibre stopped three house numbers before the customer's home. Test your exact address, house number included, on each operator's own availability tool before comparing a single price.

How was this ranking built?

I took one bundle per operator, the cheapest in its TV and internet catalogue, and sorted them on the post-promotion rate. The prices come from the price lists published by the operators, surveyed on 28 August 2026 for postcode 4000, with promotions identified line by line.

Seven operators currently sell a TV and internet bundle in Belgium: BASE, TADAAM, Scarlet, Orange, VOO, Telenet and Proximus. None was set aside. Scarlet appears here even though its TV and internet offer exists only as a Trio bundle, with a landline imposed: that is a constraint, not grounds for exclusion, and it is flagged on its entry.

The rank follows the price of the thirteenth bill. The score, by contrast, weighs the contents of the bundle, the channel count and the coverage: it therefore does not decrease steadily from first to seventh, and that is deliberate. Orange Livebox + TV Lite is fourth on price and second to last on score.

Unauthorised IPTV services do not appear here. They do not compete with the legal market, they expose the subscriber to legal risk.

One word of context. In its comparative price study published on 15 December 2025, covering October 2025 tariffs, the BIPT, the Belgian telecoms regulator, places Belgium in the more expensive half of the countries studied for fixed internet and bundled offers, and at the top for the most popular complete bundles.
