Find a no-obligation Internet subscription in Switzerland
To date, few Swiss Internet operators offer Internet subscriptions without commitment. The only operators that stand out are Wingo, Digital Republic and Yallo, which offer an Internet package without commitment.
Only available via 5G, the signal quality of the Yallo and Digital Republic offers depends greatly on your proximity to a 5G terminal. Note that thick walls can degrade signal quality, so it's important to place the 5G box where the signal is strong.
Other operators offer packages with a firm commitment of between 12 and 24 months. If you wish to withdraw before the 12 months specified in your contract, you will have to continue paying your monthly instalments until your Internet subscription expires.
At the same time, Salt offers a no-commitment deal, but with high cancellation charges if you leave the operator after a few months. In conclusion, these offers are ideal for people who do not wish to make a commitment or for expatriates who are staying in Switzerland for a limited time.
What are the main advantages of taking out a no-obligation Internet subscription?
Choosing a no-obligation Internet subscription has a number of advantages that can be particularly attractive depending on your needs and situation. Here are a few reasons why a no-obligation Internet subscription may be a good choice:
Flexibility: You are not tied to a long-term contract, so you can change supplier or modify your subscription at any time without penalty. Ideal for people with changing lifestyles, such as students, people on temporary assignments or those who move house frequently.
Economical: You avoid the early termination fees often associated with long-term contracts. You can take advantage of promotional offers or reduced prices often offered to attract new customers, and switch to another offer or supplier once the promotion is over.
Simplicity: The subscription and termination process is often quicker and simpler with virtual operators such as Wingo, without the administrative complications of long-term contracts offered by traditional operators.
Test before you commit: You can test the Internet service and make sure that it meets your expectations in terms of quality and reliability before making a long-term commitment. For example, if you want to test the quality of the 5G signal in your home, you could very well test the service for a few months and see whether the signal is as good as the traditional Internet via the ADSL or fibre network.
Wie lange ist die Kündigungsfrist für ein Internetabonnement ohne Verpflichtungen?
In der Schweiz bieten alle Internetanbieter eine Kündigungsfrist von 60 Tagen an. Wenn Sie also ein Internetabonnement ohne Vertragsbindung abschließen, verpflichten Sie sich mindestens für einen Zeitraum von drei Monaten. Um Ihren Internetvertrag zu kündigen, schicken Sie einfach eine schriftliche Kündigung an Ihren Anbieter oder beantragen Sie online die Kündigung Ihres Vertrags.
What are the experiences with a 5G box without a contract?
Opting for a no-contract 5G box for your internet connection has some interesting advantages, but it's also important to consider some specific points. Here is a detailed review of this option:
Speed and performance: 5G offers download and upload speeds that far exceed those of 4G and are often comparable to those of fibre networks. Latency is significantly reduced with 5G, which is ideal for real-time applications such as gaming, video conferencing and HD video streaming.
Coverage and reception: 5G coverage is not yet available everywhere in Switzerland. If you live in a rural or poorly covered area, you may not be able to benefit from the optimal performance of 5G. Likewise, reception inside buildings may be impaired, especially if you have thick walls.
Easy installation: unlike wired connections such as ADSL or fibre, no technician is required to install a 5G box. You can simply connect the box and start using the Internet. During installation, we recommend that you test your box in different rooms of the house in order to receive the strongest possible 5G signal.
To summarise, a 5G box without a contract offers many advantages in terms of flexibility and performance, but make sure you consider the coverage before you get started.
