No-commitment internet + TV bundles: do they exist?

Yes, no-commitment internet + TV bundles exist in Belgium. But Belgian law already frees you after six months: here is what the flexibility really costs.

No-commitment internet + TV bundles: do they exist?

Yes. Several Belgian operators sell internet + TV bundles with no minimum term, Proximus first among them with its Flex+ range. But before paying for that freedom, know that Belgian law already lets you walk away without a single euro of penalty after six months, even on a 24-month contract.

A no-commitment contract is a subscription with no minimum term: you can cancel it in month two just as in month twenty, with no break fee. That does not mean no costs. And it certainly does not mean no price rises — the nuance decides everything that follows.

Can you really get a no-commitment internet + TV bundle in Belgium?

Yes, and they are not a niche. Proximus, which runs its own copper and fibre network, sells its whole Flex+ range with no minimum term: internet, TV and mobile can be changed or stopped whenever you like, installation and activation included. BASE, the consumer brand of the Telenet group, advertises a modular no-commitment 3play from €45.99/month.

With the cable operators it is more mixed. Telenet, on its own cable in Flanders and Brussels, and the Walloon cable network now sold under the Orange brand since it absorbed VOO, keep most of their promotions for 12 or 24-month contracts. Their bundles climb from €57 to €82/month depending on the formula. No-commitment exists there too, at the full rate.

So the first thing to check is who serves your address. Your address changes everything — a Brussels tenant picks between four networks, a household in the Belgian Luxembourg province often has two.

What Belgian law already gives you, commitment or not

Under the Electronic Communications Act of 10 July 2012, no Belgian operator can claim an early-termination fee after the sixth month of the contract. Not on a 12-month deal, not on a 24-month one. The SPF Économie (Federal Public Service Economy) states it plainly.

Before month six there is a bill, but it is capped: you owe the remaining instalments up to the end of the sixth month, never the whole contract. Leaving in month three of a 24-month deal at €60/month therefore costs €180.

In short: "no commitment" only buys six months of freedom.

Commitment or not: the head-to-head on six criteria

Read the "leaving in month 7" row. Both columns say the same thing, and that is the whole point.

Only one row genuinely separates the two formulas: month three. What no-commitment saves you is capped at the instalments still running to the end of month six — five at most if you leave straight away, so €165 to €300 depending on the price of the bundle, and two or three in any realistic case. That is real. It is not the freedom being sold to you.

Does no-commitment cost more?

Often yes, and not where you would expect. The gap is not a visible surcharge but a shorter promotion, or a higher headline rate.

The Proximus case says it all. Listed on 19 August 2026 on the operator's bundle page, Flex+ internet + TV shows €50.99/month for six months, then €75.99/month. No commitment, true. But the €25 step lands exactly in month seven — precisely when the law already let you leave owing nothing. Do the maths over two years: six months at €50.99 plus eighteen months at €75.99 comes to €1,673.76, or €69.74/month on average. That is the figure to compare between operators, never the first bill.

At the other end of the market, comparison site Selectra listed Belgium's cheapest internet + TV bundle on 17 August 2026: BASE Limited Internet + App TV, at €33/month. The word "Limited" is not decorative — the data volume is capped, and television runs through an app, not a set-top box.

What "no commitment" does not cover

Three objects and one discount tie you down far more reliably than any term clause. Check them before signing, whichever formula you pick:

  • The set-top box and router are loaned, not given. Not returned at cancellation, they are billed; at Proximus the equipment can be dropped off at any store.
  • The free device — phone, television, tablet — creates a real 24-month commitment: leaving earlier means repaying its residual value, which is also the legal cap on the penalty.
  • Installation and activation fees are waived as a promotion, not as a principle. Outside a promo, a billed connection swallows several months of savings.
  • The convergence discount disappears as soon as you pull one service out of the bundle. Keeping internet and moving mobile elsewhere can cost more than the full bundle.

Is internet alone without commitment simpler?

Much simpler. No set-top box to return, no channel package to unwind: leaving comes down to a form and a router handed back. It is also the segment with the most flexible offers, including 4G and 5G boxes that need no technician. The detail is in our guide to no-commitment internet in Belgium.

And a TV-only subscription without commitment?

It mostly exists as an app. "App TV" offers cancel like a streaming subscription, with no hardware to send back. The set-top box remains the most binding part of a bundle: it is a physical object, it has to be returned, and its absence is billed.

Do you need a no-commitment bundle for temporary housing?

Here, honestly, yes. For a stay under six months — Erasmus, a work posting, a sublet, the gap between two homes — no-commitment is the only formula that will not make you pay for a service you no longer use, because that is exactly the window in which the law does not yet protect you.

Look at no-technician offers. A 4G or 5G box activates in minutes, travels from one home to the next and goes back by post. Speed stays below cable or fibre, and so does latency. Over five months, nobody recoups installation fees plus an early-termination bill.

Beyond six months of stay, the argument collapses. You are free anyway.

How do you leave a bundle, with or without commitment?

If you are switching operator, do not cancel anything yourself. The new operator handles it through Easy Switch, the procedure supervised by the IBPT (the Belgian telecom regulator): you hand over your Easy Switch code and customer number, it cancels the old contract and coordinates the changeover to limit downtime. You keep your landline and mobile numbers.

If you are stopping without going elsewhere, you cancel directly with the operator, with a contractual notice period that cannot exceed two months. Return the equipment, keep the drop-off receipt, check the closing invoice.

One case is worth knowing: a notified price increase opens a three-month window to cancel free of charge, even mid-commitment. Indexation to the consumer price index does not — the word used in the letter is what decides. Our method to cut your telecom bill covers that window and how to use it.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Proximus sells its Flex+ range with no minimum term, installation and activation included, and BASE — the consumer brand of the Telenet group — advertises a modular no-commitment 3play from €45.99/month. Cable operators also offer no-commitment deals, but usually at the full rate, without the promotion reserved for 12 or 24-month contracts.

Often yes, but rarely as a visible surcharge. The gap comes through a shorter promotion or a higher headline rate. The right comparison is the average cost over 24 months: (promo price × promo length) + (full price × remaining months), divided by 24. That figure settles it between two offers, never the first bill.

The remaining instalments up to the end of month six, and nothing more. On a 24-month contract at €60/month cancelled in month three, that is €180, not the whole contract. After the sixth month no termination fee is due, whatever term you signed — a rule spelled out by the SPF Économie (Federal Public Service Economy).

Yes, and it is usually easier to leave. Internet alone is cancelled with a router to return, no set-top box or channel package to unwind, and no-technician 4G/5G offers are plentiful. Breaking the bundle does cost you the convergence discount, though: price the gap before decoupling, it can wipe out the gain.

Yes. The set-top box and router are loaned, not given: if you do not return them, they are billed. At Proximus the equipment can be dropped off at any store. Keep the drop-off receipt and check the closing invoice — that is where unreturned-equipment charges show up.
