Internet access in Denmark

Internet

The highly competitive Danish Internet market has led to the development of excellent service coverage throughout the country. Denmark’s rate of Internet penetration is one of the highest in the world.

There is a decent range of Internet service providers to choose from in Denmark, each competing to offer the best prices to the consumer. One of the biggest service providers in Denmark still is TDC NET, which used to be the national Telecom company for Denmark. 

In many cases, high-speed Internet is offered as part of a package deal. This usually includes your Internet, Mobile, Telephone and TV. If you don`t speak Danish, the easiest way to get information is to go to the many "Internet Service Provider" shops to find the best deal to suit your needs. It may be that you only require Internet access and already have a mobile phone or telephone line in place, so shop around with your own individual circumstances in mind. In case you want to do more research about the terms, prices and speeds, visit the Find-Internet  webpage. Many times it can be cheaper to choose providers for each individual service adapted to your needs - but of course that includes more initial research and work.

What do you need to contract internet?

To get you online in Denmark unfortunately can be a slow process. Make sure that you have all the necessary documents and prerequisites in place. The local Citizen Services (Borgerservice) will be happy to help you.

Needed for an internet contract:

  • Registered address
  • CPR number (Denmark's civil registration number)
  • MitID (Denmark's digital ID)
  • Danish bank account
  • Danish phone number (depends on provider)

Public internet access

While you are waiting to get internet in your new home you can connect via public Wi-Fi which is offered in many public spaces as well as in different modes of transport like buses and trams. Or you sip a coffee in a place which offers free Wi-Fi.

One thing is sure, you do not need to worry to be disconnected when moving to Denmark!!
