Setting up TV, Telephone and Internet
Many companies take a while to set these up, so once you know where you will be living, you might want to contact these companies in advance, so you are able to have connection from the day you move in.
The most popular companies for both Telephone and Internet are Casema, Tele 2 and KPN. Their website's are:
Casema
Tele 2
KPN
The websites are in Dutch. If your Dutch is not fluent, you will need a Dutch speaker with you when you register alternatively give them a call - most of their operators speak English.
Shop around and remember, you're not stuck with one or the other, you are able to mix and match. You can have one company's telephone/internet service and another company's tv.
To run a television in the Netherlands is much the same as doing so in the UK. You will need a Licence which is paid for with your monthly subscription to your provider.
