Mobile internet for everyone and everything
Home Internet – 5G or Optical Fiber?
While everyone is struggling with the plethora of new or at least newly created mobile offers, especially during the month of November, the fiber optic market is rather static. The same providers can still be found there as years ago and the competition is relatively tight. But something is happening nonetheless. Not directly in terms of fiber optic offerings, but in terms of home internet. Thanks to 5G, home Internet connections are increasingly being operated via mobile communications. A simple and flexible solution that also comes with various advantages.
Advantage 1: Plug in and Surf Anywhere
Home Internet with 5G works by means of 5G routers. The SIM card is inserted there and the router can be supplied with power at any socket in the house. No need to unplug the connection, no electrician, no special connection appointment, just order, plug in and get started.
With Digital Republic, you don’t even have to go to a store, as you can easily activate each SIM card yourself, including ID verification. All you need is a 5G-capable router and a SIM card.
Advantage 2: Cheaper Tariffs at Last – Without Connection Fees
According to Moneyland’s Internet provider comparison, Internet tariffs with a connection speed of 50 Mbits (sufficient for video streaming and remote work, small to medium-sized household) start at CHF 36.65 per month.

If you use a SIM card from Digital Republic with the same speed, you only pay CHF 20 per month. Digital Republic offers up to 300 Mbits for as little as CHF 30. Here the cable tariffs start at CHF 44.
The initial costs of a 5G router pay for themselves from the first month after signing the contract, especially compared to the usual tariffs on the Swiss Internet market.
Advantage 3: Flexible Contracts
A contract for a home Internet connection in Switzerland still often has a long term. With offers that are limited to one region, this can quickly lead to a lot of additional expense when moving house. Mobile Internet users also benefit here.
In contrast to cable providers, mobile phone providers such as Digital Republic often offer you contracts without a minimum contract term or notice period. Digital Republic’s tariffs are all available as annual or monthly packages. If you pay monthly, you can also cancel monthly with just a few clicks.
Also cool: If you move house, simply take your router with you and, thanks to 5G, you’ll be directly connected to the Internet at your new location. It also works in your hotel or vacation apartment – if you’re spending your vacation in Switzerland.
