Our goal is to find not only the cheapest but the overall best offer for you.
Where Do Prices and Product Data Come From?
We obtain the data directly from the providers' websites and check it regularly. Nevertheless, we recommend verifying the exact terms directly with the provider before concluding a contract.
Where do the reviews come from?
We collect reviews from Google and Trustpilot. Sources with more reviews are given greater weight to ensure the average is as meaningful as possible.
What to do if a provider is missing or data seems outdated?
You can inform us about this via the contact form in the imprint. We will review it and update the data as quickly as possible.
Score
How is the overall score calculated?
Every plan gets an overall score from 0 to 100, made up of four parts: price 35% · satisfaction 30% · terms 20% · performance 15%.
Each part is first converted to a 0–100 scale and then weighted.
How is the price rated?
What counts is not the advertised price but the average monthly price over 24 months. It includes promotional prices and when they end, activation fees, router rental and vouchers.
Plans are only compared within the same performance class, for internet that means the same speed. The cheapest plan in the class gets 100 points, the most expensive 40, with a linear scale in between.
How is customer satisfaction taken into account?
We use reviews from Google and Trustpilot. Both sources are weighted by their number of reviews (logarithmically), so one very large source does not dominate. If a provider has only a few reviews, its value is pulled towards the market average.
The market average equals 70 points, from 4.7 stars it is 100. The floor is 40 points: a provider with weaker reviews can still come out on top through price and terms.
What do terms and performance cover?
Terms: contract length, activation fee, recurring extra fees, time-limited promotional prices and, for internet, whether a router is included.
Performance: for internet the ratio of upload to download, for TV the number of channels, replay length and recordings, for mobile the data volume, 5G and EU roaming.
Why don’t lists always show a rating?
In lists we only highlight a rating source if it shows at least 4.0 stars from at least 30 reviews. On the provider page you always see all values from Google and Trustpilot, including weaker ones.
When do you show strengths and “cheapest”?
A feature only counts as a strength if fewer than 50% of plans in the same category have it. What almost everyone offers is standard, not a strength.
We only award “cheapest …” when at least 3 providers are comparable in the same performance class.
Are TV and mobile scored too? And how is the provider score calculated?
Yes. Internet, TV and mobile are scored with the same method, each within its own category.
A provider’s score is the average of its 3 best plans. What counts are its strongest offers, not how many plans it has.
Internet
What Are Bait-and-Switch Offers?
This is what we call subscriptions where the initial price increases significantly after a promotional period. We explicitly highlight such offers and calculate the total costs so that you see the real price and not just the advertised one.
What is the difference between DSL, Fiber Optic, and G.fast?
DSL uses the traditional copper cable network and is available in most households but is limited in speed. Fiber optic transmits data via light signals and allows significantly higher speeds and more stable connections but requires a fiber optic connection in the building. G.fast is a hybrid standard that bridges the last stretch to the apartment via copper, enabling higher speeds even without full fiber optic expansion. The technology available depends on your location.
What internet speed do I really need?
100 Mbit/s is sufficient for one person for streaming, home office, and video calls without any problems. For two or more people streaming or working from home simultaneously, 500 Mbit/s or more is recommended. 1 Gbit/s is especially useful for households with many devices or very high data volume. Also consider the upload speed: those who regularly upload large files or conduct video conferences benefit from a symmetrical connection with high upload speed.
What Does Contract Duration and Notice Period Mean?
The contract duration indicates how long you are committed to a provider at minimum. Many offers run for 12 or 24 months. The cancellation period is the time frame you must observe before the end of the contract term, usually 2 months. If you miss the deadline, the contract is automatically extended. We show both transparently in the comparison so you won’t experience any unpleasant surprises.
Is a Router Always Included?
Not always. Some providers include a router for free, while others charge a monthly rental fee or a purchase price. We take rental costs into account in the score so that you can truly compare offers. Whether a router is included can be seen directly in the offer list.
What does the price analysis show?
For each provider, we show how the price has developed over time. You can see the current price, the average of the past months, as well as the minimum and maximum. This way, you can quickly determine whether an offer is stable or if the price has recently increased.
TV
What does the TV comparison show?
For each offer, we show the price, customer rating, number of channels, picture quality, replay duration, recordings, contract term, activation fee, and all available features. Additionally, you can see directly whether an offer can also be ordered without an internet contract and whether there are combination benefits.
What is the difference between IPTV, cable, and streaming?
IPTV transmits television signals over the internet. You can watch TV on various devices, catch up on missed shows via replay, and do not need a fixed installation. Pure streaming services like Netflix do without linear channels but offer a wide range of on-demand content instead. Which solution suits you depends on your viewing habits.
What Does Replay Mean?
With the Replay function, you can watch already broadcasted shows afterwards without having to record them first. Most providers offer 7 days Replay. Whether you can skip ads depends on the subscription. Some providers charge an additional fee for this.
What to Look for When Choosing a TV Subscription?
The number of simultaneous streams is particularly relevant when multiple people in the household want to watch TV at the same time. Picture quality (HD or FullHD), replay duration, and whether recordings are possible also make a significant difference in everyday use. You should also check whether a TV box is necessary and if it is included in the price, as this can noticeably affect the overall cost.
Which Providers Are Included in the TV Comparison?
We compare the most important IPTV providers in Switzerland, including Teleboy, Swisscom, Sunrise, Wingo, Yallo, and others. The list is continuously updated.
Mobile
What does the mobile comparison show?
For each offer, we show the price, activation fee, data volume, upload and download speeds, network, contract duration, as well as all included services such as roaming, EU data, eSIM, and hotspot.
What is an MVNO?
MVNO stands for Mobile Virtual Network Operator. These are providers that do not operate their own mobile network but use the infrastructure of Swisscom, Sunrise, or Salt. Providers like Teleboy, Wingo, or Yallo are MVNOs. They are often significantly cheaper than the network operators and still operate on the same network.
What happens when my data limit is reached?
Most subscriptions throttle the speed after the limit, typically to 128 kbps. You can continue to use the internet, but noticeably slower. We show the throttling directly in the comparison.
What is EU Roaming?
EU roaming means that you can use your Swiss subscription under the same conditions in EU countries. Not all providers include this, and if they do, it is often only up to a certain data allowance. We show this transparently in the comparison so that you know what a trip really costs you.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM is a digital SIM card that is directly integrated into the smartphone. The subscription is activated without a physical card, which makes switching to a new provider significantly easier. Not all providers and not all smartphones support eSIM.
What is the difference between prepaid and postpaid?
With prepaid, you top up credit and only pay for what you actually use, without a contract and without a credit check. With postpaid, you pay a flat monthly fee. This is worthwhile if you regularly use data: a monthly cancellable postpaid subscription with unlimited data is often cheaper than prepaid as soon as you need more than a few gigabytes per month.
Which Providers Are Included in the Mobile Comparison?
We compare offers from Swisscom, Sunrise, Salt as well as from MVNOs like Teleboy, Wingo, Yallo, Quickline Mobile and others. The list is continuously updated.
