In Belgium, the country's largest ISP, a subsidiary of the phone company. Nuff said. Except that their major competitor is the French phone company's ISP, the absurdly named Wanadoo, who are even worse. So much for the Single Market.

Their primary domain is skynet.be but due to a (latterly rationalised) rather over-complex marketing strategy they are also responsible for belgacom.net ("free" - i.e. call charges only - mass-market accounts). Encroaching liberalisation means that they are no longer the only ISP in the country providing DSL, although most or all other providers' DSL packages are still basically Belgacom services resold.


Update, October 2008: Belgacom stopped using the Skynet brand for its ISP services around 2005 in favour of the "main" Belgacom name and its mobile telephony brand Proximus; the name continues as a general portal site aimed at the Belgian market, skynet.be.
