ADSL Pay-per-minute and ADSL Starterspack
Tijdsurfen is "pay per minute", you get an ADSL (broadband) connection but you only pay per second/minute, so only the time you're actually connected.
Instapsurfen is a starterpack, you get an ADSL (broadband) connection at a very low price, but with limitations on (for example) upload or download volume.

both "Tijdsurfen" and "Instapsurfen" are typical Dutch terminology (ie, "dialect" from the Netherlands). These are "marketing" words, not "real" dutch... :)
