The television guide reports this Total TV. The price increase would rise by more than 10 percent for certain customers. This is primarily due to the inflation correction that Ziggo made earlier this month, so that all customers started to pay 3.3 percent extra.
Rental of equipment
In addition, Ziggo increases the price for rental products from September. Customers with a so -called ‘media box’, with which they can watch and record television, will pay at least 1 euro extra per month from September. Depending on the type of media box, that can also be 2 euros. A few months ago, KPN also increased these prices: at the former state -owned, customers now pay 1 euro extra per month for such products.

A spokeswoman for the telecom company agrees for the price increase for the media boxes. “It is only about extra equipment and therefore does not concern the standard facilities. It is the first time in ten years that we adjust the prices for these products.” She adds that the price adjustments are the result of increased costs., And that they are needed to continue to invest in improving the products.
Sport
Ziggo has also been charging costs for the ‘Ziggo Sport Total subscription’ for several months. Some of the customers received this subscription earlier with their Ziggo subscription, but they now pay 4.95 euros per month. Ziggo points to the broadcasting rights, to which it spends a lot of money. For customers who have taken out a separate Sports subscription, however, the price increase is somewhat milder: they pay 2 euros extra, which amounts to 16.95 euros per month.
