BASE, the Belgian telephone company which previously focused on its mobile offer, has added a fixed Internet offer (BASE Internet) and a TV offer (BASE TV) to its existing mobile offer (BASE mobile). ,
With BASE Internet, customers can choose between a limited or unlimited offer. With limited internet, BASE customers browsing on average get 300 GB of data per month and enjoy download speeds of 50 Mbps and upload speeds of 5 Mbps. With the unlimited offer, for those with larger needs such as families, there is no volume limit, and download speeds of 200 Mbps and upload speeds of 20 Mbps are available.
For television, BASE TV offers the option of viewing programs via the BASE TV box or the BASE TV app. Customers can also choose the BASE TV app, which can be used in the same way as all conventional streaming apps (smartphone, tablet, TV screen via Chromecast, Apple TV, smart TV, etc.).
BASE TV offers 28 channels in French and 28 in Dutch. Customers can choose the language version they prefer, or combine both as an option. BASE TV also offers recording (up to 200 hours), playback (36 hours), pause and forward.
The box also offers easy one-click access to popular streaming apps (such as Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV +, YouTube, Streamz, Disney+, etc.). The box is the smallest box available on the Belgian market (8 cm x 8 cm x 1.8 cm) and does not need to be connected to a coaxial cable: the TV signal goes entirely through the BASE Internet.

Nothing changes for mobile: customers who have their special offer will continue to benefit from it and this can be combined with other discounts.
Gérald Demortier, BASE Brand Manager for the Telenet Group, commented: “By adding Internet and TV to our mobile offering, we are now opening a new chapter in the history of BASE. It is a natural evolution of the brand: by complementing our offer with these new services, we will be able to respond to the needs of consumers even more effectively. With 25 years under our belt this year and one million mobile customers, we have learned that Belgians who are careful about their consumption and budget are looking for a simple and essential offer that offers good value for money. As a challenger in this new market, BASE aims to stay true to its identity. No unnecessary extras: everyone should feel free to choose what he or she really needs: no need for a mobile subscription if this is already paid for by the employer, nor a TV subscription if everything is watched online, and let alone unlimited internet if it isn’t. being used to its full potential. With BASE we aim to fulfill all these scenarios, while remaining extremely competitive in terms of price”.
John Porter, CEO of Telenet Group, added: “This new phase in the history of BASE is also a turning point for Telenet Group. We are pursuing a double goal with this new offer: expanding our geographic coverage with a fixed service offer (Internet and TV) in the south of the country, where we were not present before, and at the same time offering a full range of services telecommunication. across the country for customers looking for the best value for money, a market segment for which Telenet Group previously did not offer a solution. As it is already well established in Wallonia and in this market segment, the decision to use our BASE brand was clear. In a way, it could be said that it was our missing link: with our three brands, BASE, Telenet and TADAAM, we aim to complement each other and are now ideally positioned to meet different consumer needs. Everyone can choose the brand and products that suit them best.”
To be able to offer its fixed services, BASE will rely on two distinct networks, depending on the geographical location of its customers. In Flanders, in 2/3 of the municipalities of Brussels and in the Botte du Hainaut region of Wallonia, this will be the cable network (hybrid fibre-coax or HFC) of WYRE, the joint venture between Telenet (66.8 percent) and Fluvius. In Wallonia and the rest of Brussels (6 municipalities), BASE will rely on the VOO/Orange Belgium (HFC) cable network, thanks to the wholesale agreement signed in 2023 giving access to said network for 15 years.
For the first three months, BASE will offer free installation and activation of internet and TV services (after that €59 will be paid).
