Moving to another country is fun and exciting but is often associated with challenges. One of the most frustrating situations that expats and migrants experience when arriving in Hungary is access to reliable internet. We all need the internet for varying degrees, working remotely from home, staying connected with family & loved ones, or just chilling out and watching your favourite shows after a day exploring a new country. Whatever the case may be, internet is essential.
However, arranging an internet connection in Hungary is often complex and confusing for expats. At InternetInHungary we understand these experiences. Our objective is to help to connect expats like you, online in Hungary, fast and simply with no worry. In this blog we’ll tell you a bit about how we do that, what makes us different, and why thousands of new arrivals in Hungary trust us to get them online.
Why Getting Internet in Hungary Can Be Tough for Expats
Hungary has plenty of good internet providers, but for people who don’t speak Hungarian or understand local processes, it’s complicated. Telekom is the largest provider and they have great coverage and reliable service. Ultimately – however, their customer support and contracts are all in Hungarian. Similarly, when calling their helpdesk, it is common to be left on hold or have a confusing conversation.
Even setting up a bank account or obtaining a local phone number to pay your bill can take weeks. Further, even the appointment slots for installations may be weeks out and some providers may require a contract for a year or longer. Thus, it becomes difficult when someone is an expatriate, or even if they are just starting out in Hungary, and have to face these types of obstacles to establish internet service. The result is a long time wasted and consequently many people just abandon the pursuit and use slow mobile data plans or stick with expensive roaming.
Our Simple Approach: We Handle the Hard Parts
This is exactly why InternetInHungary exists. We provide a service made around your needs as an expat in Hungary. You don’t have to understand Hungarian contracts, click through endless sites or call unnecessary help centers, you can utilize us as a personal internet guide and helper.
The process starts with a simple message from you. Whether you get in touch via our website, social media, or email, you simply just need to tell us what your address is, and that you want internet. After that, we check what internet options are available at your address, and make a recommendation based on your budget, internet speed requirements and length of stay.
We keep the process simple and transparent. No jargon, no hidden charges. Just honest advice for your situation.
We Work Directly with Telekom for the Best Quality

But without the hassles of dealing with Telekom directly, like translating language, dealing with complicated processes and long phone calls. We will do that for you!
No Hungarian Language Skills or Local Bank Account Needed
A significant challenge faced by numerous expats is that conventional internet contracts in Hungary typically necessitate a Hungarian ID, phone number, or bank account. This situation can seem like an insurmountable loop when you have just relocated here and lack these essentials.
We have assisted clients in making payments with international bank cards, Revolut, and even cash in certain instances. Our objective is to eliminate as many obstacles as possible, enabling you to establish a connection regardless of your residency status or documentation. You are not required to navigate through complicated processes.
Fast Installation and Clear Communication
We understand your desire for internet access. Delays of weeks are unacceptable when your employment, education, or family obligations rely on it.
That is why we collaborate with Telekom to arrange the quickest possible installation for expats. In numerous instances, customers gain internet access within three to five business days. Occasionally, if the circumstances permit, we can facilitate installation within the same week.
During the entire process, we ensure you are kept informed. You will never be left in the dark regarding the status of your request. Should any delays or modifications arise, we will notify you without delay.
Flexible Plans That Fit Your Lifestyle
Everyone’s circumstances vary. You might be here for a brief internship, or you could be looking to settle in for the long haul. Some folks require lightning-fast speeds for remote work, while others are just after basic internet for casual browsing and streaming.
InternetInHungary provides adaptable plans tailored to your requirements. We offer month-to-month contracts for those on temporary stays, longer agreements with discounts for long-term residents, and choices for either high or standard speeds. We’re here to assist you in finding what aligns with your budget and usage.
