Mobile Vikings vs. VOO: what's the difference and which internet provider suits you best?
VOO and Mobile Vikings: two different networks
Mobile Vikings and VOO don’t use the same network. VOO internet runs on coax, while Mobile Vikings uses Fiber and copper. The type of internet and speed you can get therefore depend on your address.
What network does VOO use?
VOO uses a coax network (cable internet) in Wallonia and parts of Brussels. Coax offers high download speeds, but lower upload speeds.
In practice, this means:
- High download speed: suitable for browsing, streaming and downloading.
- Lower upload speed: less ideal for working from home, cloud backups and uploading large files.
- Shared capacity: you share local network capacity with other users, which means busy periods may affect your connection.
That’s why people who regularly work from home or upload a lot of data can benefit from higher upload speeds.
What network does Mobile Vikings use?
Mobile Vikings uses the Proximus network. Depending on your address, you’ll get internet via Fiber or a copper connection (VDSL). With Fiber, you get high download and upload speeds, which is particularly useful for working from home, gaming and households with several people online at the same time.
And Mobile Vikings isn’t just available in Flanders. You can also get Mobile Vikings internet in Wallonia and Brussels, as long as Fiber or copper is available at your address.

Check your address first
Before comparing VOO internet with Mobile Vikings, it's best to check your address first. That way, you'll immediately know which technology and internet speeds are available to you.
Is VOO now part of Orange?
Yes. VOO has been part of Orange Belgium since 2023. For VOO customers, this is a good time to compare their current internet plan with the alternatives available.
VOO was acquired by Orange
Orange Belgium acquired VOO in 2023. Since then, VOO’s services and offers have gradually been integrated with Orange’s. For customers, this transition is happening step by step.
What does the acquisition mean for your plan?
Do you have a VOO internet plan? Then it’s worth comparing what you currently pay and what you get in return. Consider the price, download and upload speeds, and services such as TV.
At Mobile Vikings, all internet plans are 100% unlimited and traditional TV isn’t included. Combine your internet with a mobile plan and you’ll get a permanent € 3 monthly combo advantage.
What do you get for your money with Mobile Vikings and VOO?
The monthly price alone doesn’t tell you how much value you’re getting. Download and upload speeds and what’s actually included in your plan make a difference too.

Why upload speed is becoming increasingly important
When it comes to internet speed, downloads aren’t the only thing that matters. Upload speed is particularly important if you:
- work from home or make video calls
- upload large files or cloud backups
- game or livestream
- have several people online at the same time
Fiber offers much higher upload speeds than coax. With Mobile Vikings, for example, you get upload speeds of up to 500 Mbps with Unlimited Superfast Internet and up to 1 Gbps with the fastest Fiber plan.
100% unlimited internet, without mandatory TV
All Mobile Vikings internet plans are 100% unlimited. So there’s no need to keep track of your data usage, even if you stream, download or work from home a lot.
Traditional TV is deliberately not included in our offer. Mainly watch Netflix, Streamz, YouTube or other streaming services? Then you don’t have to pay for a TV package you don’t use. If you do want traditional TV via a decoder, VOO may be a better fit.
How does Mobile Vikings perform on these criteria?
Speed and price are important, but they’re not the only criteria to consider when choosing an internet provider. Independent tests, service and an easy switch can also help you make your decision.
