Do you get 4G and 5G speed when roaming in Denmark?

Quality of roaming

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

When you roam in the EU and EEA, including Denmark, your operator may not deliberately reduce the quality or speed of your connection. The speed depends on the network generations the visited network offers. If 4G is available there, you should get 4G. 5G is not guaranteed while roaming, even if your plan has 5G at home. Operators must publish quality information for each country and visited network.

Practical info

Why

  1. Deliberate slowdowns while roaming are not allowed.
  2. 4G should be available where the network has it.
  3. 5G at home does not mean 5G abroad.

Details

When your whole allowance is used up, your plan's own terms decide what happens, such as extra charges, lower speed or no data.

Tip

Look up your operator's quality information for Denmark before the trip to see which partner networks and generations you get.

What may differ

Which Danish networks your operator uses for roaming depends on its agreements.

Common misconception

Many travellers think their 5G plan always gives 5G when they roam.

What actually happens

5G is not guaranteed while roaming; 4G should be available where the visited network has it.
