Internet speed via eSIM in the Netherlands is usually very fast, as the country has one of the best LTE networks in Europe. Providers like KPN and T-Mobile offer stable coverage and high data speeds, even in busy cities such as Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
Most modern smartphones, such as iPhone XS and newer or Google Pixel 3 and newer, support eSIM and will work in the Netherlands. Before you travel, make sure your carrier offers an eSIM option and that your phone is unlocked for use with other providers.
In popular Dutch cities such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague, internet coverage with eSIM is excellent. Major carriers like KPN and Vodafone provide stable, high-speed connections both in the city center and in the suburbs.
