YouSee is the largest quadruple play service provider in Denmark, and is a part of Nuuday which is a spun-off company from TDC Group, the largest telecommunications company in Denmark which was split into two separate companies. YouSee currently has 845,000 customers, down from its peak of 1.4 million in 2015.

In 1963, the Danish regional telephone company Jydsk Telefon found an interest in cable television, but only in 1985 did the Folketing give permission for the regional companies to build a nationwide cable TV infrastructure. In November 1990, the Folketing passed a law that paved the way for a nationwide Danish telecom. The company was named Tele Danmark and was the parent company for the existing regional companies (KTAS, Jydsk Telefon, Tele Sønderjylland, Fyns Telefon, and Rigstelefonen).

In 1995, the regional companies were merged into Tele Danmark, and the first nationwide cable TV company, Tele Danmark Kabel TV was created. Five years later, in 2000, Tele Danmark changed its name to TDC, and thus Tele Danmark Kabel TV became TDC Kabel TV. In early 2001 TDC Kabel TV changed its brand name to OnCable as a way for consumers to know they could get more than just TV. This brand name was scrapped in October the following year, reverting to TDC Kabel TV.

In 2007, TDC folded its subsidiaries back into the parent company with the exception of TDC Kabel TV, which continued as an independent legal identity. Later in the year, on 1 October 2007, TDC Kabel TV changed its name to YouSee to once again signal a focus on more than just TV.

On 1 July 2016 the TDC consumer business was merged with YouSee, migrating the entire TDC customer base of IPTV, broadband and mobile consumers to YouSee. The mobile phone network continues to use the 'TDC' name, as its built by TDC Group instead of YouSee.

On 1 August 2018 TDC Group split its business into two units; NetCo and OpCo. YouSee was moved to the latter, which would focus on digital services and customer experiences. In March 2019 OpCo changed its name to Nuuday, and in June 2019 Nuuday was legally separated from TDC NetCo to fully be its own subsidiary of TDC Group.

YouSee formerly had a flanker brand called Fullrate, which existed from 2005 until 2020. It had initially been established by former employees of Cybercity. Fullrate made use of the ADSL2+ with Annex M technology for their lowest-speed services and VDSL2 for higher speeds. On 20 January 2020 TDC announced that their low-cost brand and mobile virtual network operator Fullrate would be shut down and the customers be migrated into YouSee.

On 31 December 2021 TDC A/S became a holding company with no employees. The two companies TDC Net A/S and Nuuday A/S became two separate and independent companies.
