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.
PremiumSIM
PremiumSIM suits people in Germany who want a low entry price on a sim only plan, a wide support choice and a fibre option from the same seller. Sim only tariffs start at €6.99, and the fixed line runs on fttc and fttp.

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.
PremiumSIM
Pros
- Sim only plans start at €6.99, below the €9.30 median across listed brands
- Terms run 1 and 24, so a rolling option sits next to a longer commitment
- 5G, eSIM and wifi calling are all available, which is what most listed mobile plans carry
Cons
- The fibre line carries a setup fee of €49.99 and post contract pricing of €44.99
- As an mvno, the provider sets its own tariffs on another carrier's network and stays inside DE
- Uploads of 5.8 to 40 Mbps sit below downloads of 1,000 Mbps, which matters for sending large files
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).
PremiumSIM
Who it suits
- People in Germany who want a sim only plan on 1 and 24 terms
- Households that want mobile and a fibre line from one seller, with €49.99 to budget for at the start
- Travellers who need EU roaming included in 33 countries
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after unlimited data, since no unlimited plan appears among the reference plan prices
- Buyers who want the host network itself, where yesss! sells as a network
- People who need service beyond DE, with Lonestar Cell MTN listed as a network

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.
PremiumSIM
What does the cheapest PremiumSIM mobile plan cost?+
The starting price across the range is €6.99, set on a small allnet plan. A second reference plan adds a much larger data allowance at a higher monthly cost, and no unlimited plan appears among the reference plan prices. Heavy data users would pay for the larger tier from the first bill.
How long is the contract?+
Plan contract months run 1 and 24, so a short rolling arrangement sits alongside a longer commitment. Billing is offered as contract or rolling, which lets you match the term to how long you expect to keep the line. Households that expect to move soon should read the longer term carefully.
