Swiss Home Internet Plan Comparison 2024

You can easily find the home Internet plan which best suits your needs using the Internet comparison on moneyland.ch. You have the option of entering your address and your preferred Internet connection speed to find the most affordable offer available at your location which delivers the speed you need.

You can find useful tips for choosing the right Internet plan here.

Where you live plays a major role in determining the availability of home Internet plans. That is because not all properties are connected to phone lines, cable networks and optical fiber networks. Some plans are only available through one or two of these channels or through specific networks. Internet connection speeds and pricing also vary between regions.

You should pay special attention when considering Internet plans which use copper telephone line networks. All regions of Switzerland are connected to telephone line networks, but data transfer speeds vary broadly between regions. Even phone line connections in some larger towns may only deliver speeds of several Mbps, while phone lines in other locations may deliver speeds of 100, 200 or even 500 Mbps.

Home Internet offers from cable network operators are only available through local cable TV networks.

Regional differences also affect optical fiber connections. Some Internet offers are only available in specific cities or regions. Some optical-fiber-based Internet plans cost more in some locations than they do in others.

The moneyland.ch Home Internet comparison accounts for networks which are available at your address as well as location-based price differences as per information provided by telecom service providers.

With many service providers, Internet speed has the biggest impact on price tags. Plans which deliver higher Internet speeds cost more than plans which deliver slower Internet speeds.

Some service providers charge the same price regardless of Internet speed. This makes sense because the costs of servicing Internet connections hardly changes regardless of the actual data transfer speeds delivered.

How fast an Internet connection you can get depends primarily on the networks which you can connect to. Optical fiber networks can deliver extremely fast Internet connections. Coaxial cable networks from cable TV operators like UPC and Quickline are capable of delivering fast Internet to all cable connections. But in the case of cable networks, speeds can be greatly reduced when too many users in an area perform data-intensive tasks at the same time.

Just because an Internet connection is theoretically capable of delivering a certain Internet speed does not mean that you will actually connect at that speed. Many Internet plans limit data transfer speeds.

These are the speeds which you can theoretically access through different networks:

• Optical fiber networks are capable of speeds of 1 Gbps or even higher.
• Coaxial cable networks can deliver speeds of up to several hundred Mbps.
• Telephone line networks (copper) deliver speeds ranging between several Mbps and several hundred Mbps.

The advantages and disadvantages of each telecom technology are explained in this guide.

The most important criteria for an accurate comparison are your address and the minimum Internet speed you need. Additionally, you can limit comparison results to symmetrical Internet connections (identical upload and download speeds).

Only offers which meet all of your criteria are included in the comparison.

Yes. You can choose to compare multiple fixed telecom services together. You can choose to compare the combined costs of getting multiple plans (Internet, TV, home phone) from each provider.

Only telecom services which offer all of the plans you need are included in the comparison.

You can choose between comparing all offers available at your address, or comparing only offers which are available countrywide. When you choose an address-based comparison, the results include all Internet plans you can get based on the networks (telephone lines, cable TV, optical fiber) available at your address.

If you choose to compare countrywide offers, results only include Internet plans which are available countrywide (or to the majority of Swiss households). Note that even plans which are offered countrywide may still not be available at your specific address.
