Why choose a telecom bundle?

Some telecoms operators offer to bundle your Internet, mobile and TV subscriptions into a single contract. Are these bundled offers advantageous? What should you look out for? We examine the situation!

The principle of bundled telecom offers is simple: to bring together several services in the same contract: Internet subscription, mobile package, TV access, fixed line, etc. Find out if these bundled packages are right for you.

Savings at stake

The main advantage of bundled offers is financial. Most of the time, operators offer preferential tariffs on these packages. A package is cheaper than several individual subscriptions from the same or different providers. By choosing an all-in-one package, you can make significant savings.

Let's take an example. Orange Luxembourg offers an unlimited mobile package 'BeUnlimited' for €39/month and a 50 Mbit/s Fiber package with unlimited volume for €29/month. If you take out these two contracts separately, you will have to pay €68/month for a subscription for your smartphone and Internet access in your home. With the 'Love 50 Mbit/s' package, which includes the same mobile package and the same fiber offer, you only pay €59/month. Over a year, you will therefore save €108 thanks to this combined package.

Those little things to look out for

To determine how much you could save by bundling your contracts, make sure that when you choose your bundle you compare what is comparable. Make sure that the bundled package includes the same features (fiber speed, number of GB included in the mobile package, etc.) as the individual subscriptions.

Also beware of introductory prices. Some operators offer attractive rates for the first three or six months, but they become more expensive after this period. In the medium and long term, these offers are not attractive. Other providers, on the other hand, offer a fixed price throughout the contract. With Orange, for example, your telecom budget is the same over time: you know exactly what you spend on your subscription each month.

Packages for all needs

Packages often include Internet and TV, plus another service (fixed line or mobile package). However, not everyone needs all these services!

For example, more and more of us are turning to alternatives to TV, watching videos on tablets or smartphones or using apps such as Netflix and Amazon Prime which give access to a host of series, documentaries and films in the language of our choice. Some people also choose to watch content offered by TV channels via the Internet, with solutions such as Molotov. Finally, devices such as Apple TV, Chromecast and Smart TV, connected to the Internet, now turn your television into a giant smartphone.

For this reason, with some operators, the bundled solution can be further customised according to your real needs. For each of its 'Love' packages, Orange offers you the possibility of choosing only a mobile and fiber subscription, and of adding or not, depending on your needs, a second package as well as a TV subscription with more than 100 channels and thematic packages to choose from. You are therefore free to choose the offer that suits you best!

Peace of mind

Last but not least, the "all-in-one" formula is ideal if you want to simplify your life.

With such a solution, the Fiber, your telephone line and your television are installed in one go. In addition, you only have one customer account for all your contracts. So you only receive one bill for all your telecom services. Finally, in the event of a problem, you only have to contact one operator.
