Our verdict on each
Homefi
Homefi suits households in US that cannot get a wired line and want broadband on rolling terms, with Infinity 5G Unlimited reaching 400 Mbps and the Hotspot plans capped at 50 to 800 GB. The catch is upload speed, the rented router, and the charges that follow if it is not returned.
OiSTER
OiSTER is a rolling Danish MVNO that suits households wanting a month-to-month bill, sim only plans and an unlimited option at DKK 49 a month. It is a weaker choice than the cheapest listings on entry price, so buyers shopping purely on the headline figure should look elsewhere first.

Pros and cons
Homefi
Pros
- The exit fee terms allow cancelling at any time, and the only contract length on offer is 1 month, so moving costs no lost term.
- Infinity 5G Unlimited is sold without a data cap, while the capped Hotspot plans stop at 50 to 800 GB.
- Support runs on chat, phone and help centre, so a problem with a rented router can be raised by phone or by chat.
Cons
- Uploads run 10 to 20 Mbps, the weak point for large backups, cloud work and frequent video calls.
- Capped tiers stop at 50 to 800 GB, so heavy streaming or big downloads can use up the allowance early in the month.
- The router is rented monthly with a separate service charge and has to go back on cancel, and the exit fee terms add a restocking fee plus a higher recovery fee based on the cost of the device.
OiSTER
Pros
- The unlimited Fri tale Fri data plan is listed at DKK 49 a month, which ranks 13 of 173 on unlimited price.
- Rolling billing at 1 month, with Basic available pay-as-you-go and no binding period.
- Sim only, eSIM, wifi calling and a multi line discount are all available, on 5G technology.
Cons
- The DKK 18 entry price ranks 43 of 258 on the listings compared, so entry pricing is mid-table rather than the cheapest on offer.
- The Fri tale plans are published at a promotional rate before a higher standard rate, so the ongoing cost on the same plan name is the figure to budget.
- Coverage is limited to DK, so residents outside that market have nothing here to switch to.
Who each suits
Homefi
Who it suits
- Households in US with no wired line available, especially renters who would rather hand a router back than own hardware.
- People who expect to move and do not want a long minimum term, since plans run 1 month.
- Families happy to choose a data allowance of 50 to 800 GB rather than pay for the uncapped plan.
Who should look elsewhere
- Households that send a lot of data from the home, who should look at Astound (cable and fttp) for a wired route.
- People who want an uncapped connection, who should look at EarthLink (fttp, 5G and satellite).
- Homes with a fibre line already in place, who should look at Abissnet (fttp).
OiSTER
Who it suits
- Households in DK that want a rolling monthly bill and can cancel mobile broadband with notice.
- Readers who want unlimited data at DKK 49 a month rather than the cheapest possible entry price.
- Families running more than one line, since a multi line discount applies alongside eSIM setup for a new handset.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants to buy from the network operator instead of an MVNO: GETESA, Lonestar Cell MTN and yesss! all sell as networks.
- Shoppers ranking purely on the lowest price from, since DKK 18 sits at position 43 of 258 and yesss! or GETESA belong on the same shortlist for that column.

Questions about each
Homefi
What does Homefi broadband cost a month?+
Entry pricing starts at $50 a month on the smallest Hotspot plan. The larger Hotspot plan costs more for the biggest data allowance, and Infinity 5G Unlimited sits between them with the highest speed. Every reference plan is quoted as a plain monthly figure on rolling terms, so it reads as the ongoing rate rather than a promotional one.
Is there a contract term with Homefi?+
Plans run on rolling monthly terms, and the only contract length on offer is 1 month. Nobody serves a long minimum term, which suits renters and anyone who expects to move. The monthly figure stays the same for as long as the service is in place, and the exit fee terms allow cancelling at any time.
OiSTER
What is the cheapest OiSTER plan and what does it cost?+
The entry price is DKK 18 a month. Basic is the pay-as-you-go option, billed on usage with no binding period, so it works for light use and for anyone who does not want to be tied in. The two Fri tale plans sit above it, one with a capped allowance and one unlimited, so the entry figure suits a phone that lives mostly on wifi.
What will I pay when an introductory price runs out?+
The Fri tale plans are published at a promotional rate first and a higher standard rate afterwards on the same plan name, so the ongoing cost is the standard rate, not the introduction. Basic sidesteps that because it is pay-as-you-go. The unlimited plan, Fri tale Fri data, is listed at DKK 49 a month on the published pricing.
