    Digi expands to Belgium with low-cost mobile and fibre plans

    • Digi Communications launches in Belgium with a €5 mobile plan and €10 fibre broadband, initially available in Brussels’ Cureghem district.
    • Digi’s entry as Belgium’s fourth MNO intensifies market competition, causing a drop in Proximus’s share price as Digi works on building its own 4G and 5G networks.

    What happened: Digi launches low-cost mobile and fibre services in Belgium

    Digi Communications has officially launched in Belgium, expanding its European footprint. The Romania-based operator introduced a low-cost mobile plan and fibre broadband, although the latter is currently only available in the Cureghem district of Brussels.

    Digi’s €5-per-month SIM-only plan offers unlimited calls and texts, plus 15 GB of data, which meets the needs of around 75% of Belgian users. Additional data is priced at €0.60 per GB. The company’s fibre broadband starts at €10 per month, but it is currently limited to the Brussels area, with plans for further expansion in the city and other regions.

    Digi’s arrival as Belgium’s fourth mobile network operator (MNO) is significant, though the company is initially relying on Proximus’s 4G network. Digi and Citymesh are working on rolling out their own 4G and 5G infrastructure. The launch has already caused a drop in Proximus’s share price, highlighting the competitive threat posed by Digi’s entry into the market.

    Why it is important

    Digi Communications’ launch in Belgium marks a significant development in the country’s telecom market. By offering affordable mobile and fibre services, Digi introduces much-needed competition. The €5-per-month SIM-only plan, with unlimited calls, texts, and 15GB of data, is a strong entry point, catering to 75% of Belgian users. Although fibre broadband is currently available only in Brussels’ Cureghem district, Digi plans to expand it further.

    Digi’s move makes it Belgium’s fourth mobile network operator (MNO), intensifying competition. Although initially relying on Proximus’s 4G network, Digi is working on its own 4G and 5G infrastructure with Citymesh. The launch has already impacted Proximus’s share price, showing the level of disruption Digi can cause. This increased competition will benefit consumers, potentially lowering prices and improving service quality across the Belgian telecom sector.
