Internet Speed Test in Amsterdam

Internet Providers in Amsterdam

KPN FTTH fiber and VodafoneZiggo HFC cable both provide near-universal coverage across Amsterdam. Odido and multiple smaller ISPs (Caiway, Delta Fiber) resell on the KPN open-access network. Amsterdam also has some of the world's lowest latency to EU servers due to AMS-IX.

ISPs at a glance

Measured speeds are wired-test ranges observed across consumer plans; actual figures depend on plan tier, address, and time of day.

Speed Test Tips

• AMS-IX proximity means latency to European servers is extremely low from Amsterdam — typically under 5 ms to major EU CDN nodes
• KPN fiber provides symmetric speeds; Ziggo cable upload is capped well below download
• 1 Gbps fiber is available from KPN for ~€45/month
• Test at peak evening hours (7–10 PM) to check for congestion on your ISP's network

Frequently Asked Questions

What internet providers serve Amsterdam?

KPN (FTTH fiber), VodafoneZiggo (cable), and Odido (FTTH wholesale) are the main options.

What speeds can Amsterdam residents expect?

1 Gbps symmetric from KPN or up to 1 Gbps download from Ziggo are both widely available.

Why is Amsterdam internet latency so low?

Amsterdam hosts AMS-IX, one of the world's largest internet exchanges. This means most European and global CDNs have a presence in Amsterdam, resulting in sub-5 ms latency to many services.

Is fiber available across Amsterdam?

KPN FTTH covers most of Amsterdam. Some older buildings in the historic canal ring may still use VDSL, but FTTH is being extended continuously.
