European low-cost 5G, fibre and mobile plans (July-Sept 2026
Overview
The wave of ultra-low-price mobile and broadband offers that began in late April 2026 continued through July and August. German discount providers expanded flexible data bundles: sparSIM launched a €9.99 Flex M plan with 70 GB on Vodafone’s 5G network, while Handyhelden paired a 20 GB Telekom-based flat with Sennheiser headphones. Unlimited Mobile entered the market with a €14.99 unlimited-5G tariff on O2.
In France, competition intensified through August. YouPrice expanded its network flexibility, allowing customers to select between SFR, Bouygues Telecom, or Orange. Bouygues Telecom expanded its portfolio with several specialized offers, including its B&YOU brand. Other French budget options included Prixtel’s Oxygène plan and Lyca Mobile’s 250 GB offering.
In September, Bouygues Telecom refined its strategy by focusing on high-end technology within its low-cost B&YOU Pure Fibre range. By removing traditional services like landline telephony and television, the operator introduced the B&YOU Pure Fibre at €24.99 per month (up to 2 Gb/s with Wi-Fi 7) and the B&YOU Pure Fibre Plus at €27.99 per month, which offers up to 8 Gb/s and tri-band Wi-Fi 7.
Additionally, the B&You brand introduced a 5G series for €21.99 per month, providing 170 GB of data and a beIN SPORTS subscription, including 60 GB of data usable in over 60 destinations. To enhance connectivity, Bouygues Telecom also launched a €2 monthly Multi SIM add-on for compatible plans, allowing users to share data with secondary devices like tablets or smartwatches.
