Telenet, part of the Telenet Group, is expanding its entertainment offering with the addition of YouTube Premium.
Customers can easily activate and manage their subscription via their personal MyTelenet web environment and the MyTelenet app, with payment processed directly through their Telenet bill. Telenet is the first telecom provider in Belgium to offer its customers YouTube Premium in such an integrated way.
Telenet customers can add YouTube Premium to their subscription for €13.99 per month (YouTube Premium Individual, one user). The subscription offers customers an ad-free viewing experience on YouTube, the ability to watch or listen to videos and playlists offline, and the ability to play content in the background while using other apps. YouTube Music is also included, providing access to an extensive, ad-free music catalog.
YouTube Premium is used through the existing YouTube app and doesn't require a separate application. Customers can activate, adjust, or cancel their subscription at any time via their personal MyTelenet web environment or the MyTelenet app. Thanks to its integration with the Telenet platform, customers can easily access the YouTube app through their familiar Telenet TV box. This provides a central overview of their entertainment services and payments, providing added convenience and clarity.
By integrating popular services into one central environment, Telenet wants to give its customers more overview and control over their entertainment, with a single point of contact and a single trusted payment method.

Entertainment should be effortless. With this Belgian first, we're setting a new standard for customer experience in our industry. A significant milestone, considering YouTube is one of the most used apps on our platform.
