TV and Internet Packages in Switzerland
The largest providers on the Swiss market, Sunrise, Swisscom and Salt, offer combined packages for Internet and TV use at different conditions. But even less well-known providers are increasingly bringing cheap Internet and TV subscriptions onto the market. We have taken a closer look at the various offers in our Internet and TV comparison.
Combined Internet and TV subscription: That’s what you should look out for when you graduate.
If you want to take out a TV and Internet subscription in a package, you should also take a close look at the other conditions of the subscription in the Internet and TV comparison. What download and upload speeds or MBit per second are included in the tariff? If the rates are symmetrical or the upload rate is significantly lower than the download speed, this can be a problem especially for those who frequently upload or send larger mails, data volumes, videos and similar files. Especially in metropolitan areas, the provider Salt surprises with up to ten times faster upload and download speeds. In addition, attention should be paid to the setup fee for the installation of a router or TV receiver, for example.
Especially the providers Quickline, TeleKing and Wingo charge corresponding one-time fees if you want to activate a TV Internet subscription. Other providers only charge a setup fee under certain conditions. If you want to use Apple TV via Teleboy, for example, you can do so for a one-off payment of CHF 159. If you take out a Sunrise subscription online, you are spared the setup fee, whereas otherwise CHF 69 is due and Swisscom only charges new customers for the initial connection. Other providers, such as iWay.ch or green.ch, do not charge a setup fee. Further additional costs, for example for the purchase of receivers and routers, should also be checked in a comprehensive Internet and TV comparison.
Another criterion you should pay attention to is the duration of the contract. Providers like TeleKing or iWay.ch lure you with free months. Ensure that any periods of notice are observed and that any amounts payable each month are indicated on average. Who makes an Internet Abo comparison, should inform also about the availability and the existing net. Is the subscription suitable for fibre optic networks, such as Swisscom, Sunrise, Teleboy or Wingo, or does one receive via the TV network? The type and number of channels that can be received, replay, video on demand and recording functions as well as the number of devices that can be played vary from tariff to tariff and from provider to provider.
Who would like to book in addition a telephone option in addition or would like to lock a three-way combination subscription, should besides on the kind of the Flatrate pay attention and/or decide whether minute tariffs would be a more favorable alternative. Many providers offer the possibility to flexibly combine Internet, TV and telephone options, whereby a TV component can often be booked for a small additional amount. A subscription can therefore be worthwhile for all those who enjoy watching television frequently and at the same time surf the net regularly.
Subscribe to the Internet and television separately
Often the different providers offer the Internet tariff as a basic tariff. In addition, you can book mobile and fixed line options as well as TV. TV rates are generally between CHF 15 and CHF 20. However, combination offers can often be the better option. Sunrise, for example, offers its 1 Gbit/s Internet package for CHF 90. Whoever chooses the TV option inclusive pays CHF 110 per month, but currently (as of November 2019) receives a free Samsung TV worth CHF 699. Those who use Internet TV services can also secure a number of advantages, such as better-quality television or on different sets. Classic reception modes can often no longer keep up.
Combined offers TV, Internet and telephone
Similar advantages arise for users who make use of complete packages. If you compare combined offers for TV, Internet and telephone, you will find that discounts are usually granted by purchasing from the same provider. Sunrise, for example, grants a ten percent discount on the mobile rate for a combined package booking. If you want to subscribe to mobile and landline phones as well as TV and Internet in a package, it can be worth it.
