Broadband prices

The graph shows the consumer price index for communications in Switzerland between 2013 and 2025, with a base of 100 set in December 2020. Three data series are shown:Fixed network (blue curve): prices fell between 2013 and 2017, then remained relatively stable until 2020, rose slightly in 2021 and 2022, followed by a slight decline in 2023 and stability in 2024 and 2025.Mobile network (orange curve): continuous decline in prices between 2013 and 2018, then a gradual increase since then, reaching a level slightly above the 105 base in 2025.Combined fixed and mobile offers (grey curve): relatively downward trend until 2017, then moderate increase in 2018 and 2019 followed by a sharp decline until 2023, reaching a level well below 90, stable in 2024 and 2025.

According to the National Consumer Price Index issued by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO), prices for fixed-line communication services remained stable in 2025 (+0.1%).

Prices for broadband services from the major providers generally rose, with the exception of Sunrise (–10%, regardless of the basket) and Quickline (–17% for the larger baskets). The difference between the highest and lowest offers is often considerable, as confirmed by the communications price monitoring in OFCOM’s Statistical observatory.

Across all price baskets, the least expensive offers are all provided by Sunrise (CHF 52.60 per month), while Swisscom’s offers are consistently the most expensive. For small and medium baskets, Swisscom products are 23% more expensive and cost CHF 64.90 in both cases. Swisscom is also the most expensive provider for a large basket, costing CHF 79.90 or 52% more than that of Sunrise.

OFCOM has since 2020 published the survey of prices of product bundles on fixed and mobile networks on its Statistical Observatory website. These products meet the needs of a growing number of consumers who want to purchase all telecommunications services from the same provider. Further information can be found on the OFCOM website.

This horizontal bar chart compares monthly prices for fixed-line broadband services in several countries, based on an medium user basket (100 Mbps, maximum 120 GB per month). Prices are shown in Swiss francs (CHF) per month and correspond to the most affordable plan available in each country as of September 2025. The horizontal axis represents monthly prices in CHF. The vertical axis lists the countries and associated providers. Prices vary significantly by country, ranging from 92 CHF per month in Iceland to approximately 10 CHF in Poland. The OECD average of approximately CHF 28 per month is indicated by a purple bar. Switzerland (CHF 52.60), indicated by a red bar, is among the top third of the most expensive countries. Many countries, particularly in Europe, generally have prices close to the average, ranging from CHF 21 to CHF 33.

Prices for broadband services in Switzerland remain higher than the OECD-wide average. According to the price baskets published by OECD, which for Switzerland take into account only Swisscom, Sunrise, Salt and Quickline, the lowest-cost product for medium usage offers a transfer rate of at least 100 Mbps and 120 GB for around CHF 52.60 per month.

In September 2025, such a medium-usage basket cost more than CHF 24 per month more than the OECD-wide average (CHF 28.15). A small basket (60 GB and a transfer rate of at least 25 Mbps) cost Swiss consumers CHF 26.10 more (CHF 52.60 vs CHF 26.50). For these two baskets, Switzerland is one of the three most expensive countries.

Among baskets with a data volume of 300 GB and a transfer rate of at least 1 Gbps, Switzerland still occupies 26th place in the ranking. Prices are only higher in ten other countries. With a price of CHF 52.60 for a large basket, Swiss customers still paid CHF 10.60 more in 2025 than the OECD-wide average (CHF 42).
