T-Mobile Home is changing its subscriptions for fiber optic internet. Prices will increase by EUR 5 per month and higher speeds will become available in areas where T-Mobile delivers via KPN’s network, at an additional cost. There is also a new 400Mbit/s offer.
Fiber optic subscriptions from T-Mobile over its own network costs from January 24th 35, 40 and 45 euros per month, with symmetric speeds of 100, 400 and 1000Mbit/s respectively. Previously, the offer was from subscriptions of 50, 100 and 1000Mbit/s, with prices of 30, 35 and 40 euros per month. In fact, this concerns a price increase of the 1Gbit/s subscription and the disappearance of the cheapest subscription. For the time being, the changes only apply to new customers.
T-Mobile meldt that it is expanding its 1Gbit/s fiber internet offering to 3.3 million households. In concrete terms, this means that the provider now also offers that speed via the KPN fiber network, where T-Mobile previously only offered 100Mbit/s. T-Mobile does charge higher amounts, but the new subscriptions via the KPN network cost 45, 55 and 60 euros per month respectively. This concerns an additional cost of 10 and 15 euros compared to fiber optic via T-Mobile’s own network. Incidentally, the comparable KPN subscriptions are in most cases more expensive. Only KPN’s gigabit offer is several euros cheaper.
| New subscriptions | Price per month (from January 24, 2022) | Old subscriptions | Price per month |
| 100Mbit/s | 35 euros (45 euros via KPN network) | 50Mbit/s | 30 euro |
| 400Mbit/s | 40 euros (55 euros via KPN network) | 100Mbit/s | 35 euro |
| 1Gbit/s | 45 euros (60 euros via KPN network) | 1Gbit/s | 40 euro |

With Open Dutch Fiber and Primevest is T-Mobile working on connections for more than a million Dutch households. The other customers are served via infrastructure of other providers ‘if possible and affordable’. That’s mainly about KPN’s network, with more than three million connections, it is the largest fiber optic network in the Netherlands.
In an email, T-Mobile complains about the high prices that the provider has to pay to network operators: “We are not the owner of the network, but we are often the main tenant. Unfortunately, in large parts of the Netherlands we still pay the owner of the network. that network significantly more for rent than we can charge our customers.” T-Mobile wants ACM to regulate the market again to guarantee access to the network at ‘realistic purchase prices’.
