Luxembourg Tops EU Broadband Costs at €49.99 a Month as Romania Falls to €6.66

Summary
Luxembourg recorded the EU’s highest average monthly broadband bill in 2025 at €49.99, while Romania had the bloc’s lowest at €6.66, according to a Broadband Genie study of 2,631 tariffs across 214 countries.
The gap tracks regional infrastructure and living costs: Eastern Europe ranks among the world’s cheapest broadband markets because widespread fibre networks lowered prices, while Northern and Western Europe remain Europe’s most expensive.
The Netherlands and Finland followed Luxembourg at €48.73 and €48, yet the Netherlands and Luxembourg still posted the EU’s highest internet usage rates, showing high prices did not prevent near-universal access.
EU internet use is now widespread overall—94% of residents went online in the previous three months in 2025—but rural access still lags in parts of the bloc, with Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia and Portugal among the weakest performers.
