“True cost” is the average monthly amount over the full contract (or 12 months for no-contract plans), including promotional periods and setup fees — because a “€8.49/month” headline that becomes €19.99 after a year isn’t really €8.49.

Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper, Melita or Epic?+
Both lean heavily on promos — Melita gives months free up front, Epic halves the price for the first year. Which wins depends on the speed tier, so the tables on this page rank both by true monthly cost over the whole contract, recalculated from the live catalogue.
What's the difference between cable and fibre internet in Malta?+
Melita uses DOCSIS cable, which covers virtually every address and delivers up to 2.5 Gbps. Epic uses fibre-to-the-home, which is very fast and consistent but has a smaller footprint. For most households the practical difference at equal speed tiers is small — availability at your address matters more.
Do I have to take TV with Melita?+
Melita's headline Flexi bundles include TV Starter by design — it's how Melita prices internet. If you specifically want internet without TV, Melita also sells internet-only plans, and Epic treats TV as an optional €6.99 add-on.
Which is better for mobile, Melita or Epic?+
Melita's Endless plans are strong on roaming allowances and start with a €9.99/month promo; Epic's promos are similarly aggressive and include the home-internet discount in the advertised price. The live mobile comparison on this page shows the current winner by true cost.
