The truth about IPTV in the Netherlands – what your provider doesn’t tell you
The truth about IPTV in the Netherlands – what your provider does not tell you
You know it. You dutifully pay €70 to €100 to Ziggo or KPN every month. You think that’s normal. You think you have no choice. You think that IPTV is illegal, complicated, or unreliable.
Your provider wants you to think that.
Because the truth? That one is different. And you aren’t told that in their glossy commercials with laughing families on the couch.

🏦 What your provider earns from you (and why they stay quiet)
Let’s do the math. An average Ziggo or KPN subscription with internet, TV and a bit of sports will quickly cost you:
| Provider | Average costs per month | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Ziggo Complete | €75 – €95 | Internet, TV, basic sports package |
| KPN Complete | €70 – €90 | Internet, TV, limited sports |
| Total per year | €840 – €1140 | – |
What does the same service cost you as a provider? Much less. A large part of your money goes to marketing, expensive advertisements, glass buildings, and an overpaid management.
And the biggest lie? They act as if there is no alternative. But there is. And it’s called IPTV.
📡 The 3 biggest lies your provider tells you
Lie 1: “IPTV is illegal and unsafe”
The truth: IPTV is a technology, not a crime. It is the same technology that Ziggo and KPN use themselves. It’s about what you watch, not how you look. A legal IPTV service (such as Pro-IPTV) is just as legal as Netflix.
Why your provider says this: They don’t want you to leave. So they spread fear.
Lie 2: “IPTV is complicated, you have to be technical”
The truth: That might have been true 5 years ago. Nowadays install your Smartone on your Samsung TV in 3 minutes, you give your MAC address, and the provider does the rest. No M3U links, no messing around.
Why your provider says this: They hope you find it too difficult and stick around.
Lie 3: “We have the best quality and stability”
The truth: A good IPTV service has redundant servers, 4K streaming, and is less disruptive than Ziggo Go (which is constantly out of order at my home).
Why your provider says this: Because they are afraid that you will discover that you get the same quality for a quarter of the price.
💰 What does IPTV really cost? (and why providers lie about prices)
| Duration | Pro IPTV price | Ziggo/KPN price | Your savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 month | €10 | €75 | €65 |
| 3 months | €25 | €225 | €200 |
| 6 months | €45 | €450 | €405 |
| 12 months | €75 | €900 | €825 |
You save almost €850 annually. That’s a holiday. A new TV. A year’s worth of groceries. What would you rather do with that money?

🔍 The question providers don’t want you to ask
Why would I pay $900 a year when I can get the same thing for $75?
The answer is: not . You shouldn’t do it. You have been scammed all these years by a system that makes you think there is no alternative.
But that alternative is there. And it’s called Pro-IPTV.
