Moving house in Luxembourg: checklist for your first home

First home in Luxembourg: stay connected from day one

Moving into your first flat is a big step. A new neighbourhood, a new routine, new responsibilities. But one thing remains the same: you need to stay connected. Whether it’s for remote working, administrative tasks, streaming or keeping in touch with loved ones, internet access is essential.

In Luxembourg, over 94% of households have fixed internet access at home (STATEC, 2024). In other words, failing to plan ahead for your internet connection when moving to Luxembourg can quickly become a hindrance.

Here is the complete checklist to help you install your connection with peace of mind, enjoy fibre broadband in Luxembourg and learn how to install your Eltrona box without stress.

When should you start your internet move in Luxembourg?

Plan at least 2 to 4 weeks before entry.

Luxembourg experiences high residential mobility, particularly among young workers and cross-border commuters. According to Eurostat (2024), the country has one of the highest rates of internal mobility in Europe.

In concrete terms:

• Contact your operator as soon as you sign the lease.
• Check the fibre eligibility of your home
• Plan the installation before the keys are handed over, if possible.

A well-planned internet relocation in Luxembourg saves you from:

• Days without connection
• Costly mobile data sharing
• Administrative complications

Check your home’s fibre eligibility

Fibre in Luxembourg: why is it essential?

Luxembourg fibre offers:

• Very high flow rates
