What the 2026 tests found

- In Opensignal's European awards of February 2026, Odido led the European ranking for download speed at 147.8 Mbps.

What to check for your own use
- Contract length. SIM-only plans by the month are common and leave you free to switch.
- Roaming. Within the EU you can use your plan as at home; outside it, check the rates.
- Calling abroad. Calls to countries outside the EU are often charged extra; calling apps over data avoid that.
- Home internet bundles. KPN and Vodafone discount mobile plans when you also take their home internet.
