Pros and cons
Abissnet
Pros
- Plans start at ALL 2,400 a month, and the setup fee is ALL 0.
- The technology is fttp, which keeps the line consistent under heavy load.
- Top download speed reaches 10,000 Mbps, and upload runs 20 to 1,000 Mbps.
Cons
- It runs in AL only, so a plan cannot be taken to another country.
- The published speed ladder ends at 10,000 Mbps, so there is no higher tier above it.
- Contract lengths run 12 and 24, so there is no short rolling agreement to leave on.
YouFibre
Pros
- Entry pricing of £20 a month sits well inside the 40 place of 95 on price from.
- Setup costs £0, and the brand ranks 1 of 86 on that measure.
- Every plan arrives with Wi-Fi kit in the box, with a higher grade hub on the highest speed tier and mesh boosters available.
Cons
- The advertised rate lasts only for the opening stretch of a fixed term, and the bill then steps up to renewal prices of £34.99 to £129.99.
- Walking away before a fixed term ends brings an early termination charge, which makes the low entry price a costly place to leave from.
- Maximum download speed of 8,000 Mbps ranks 10 of 114, well short of Abissnet at 10,000 Mbps.
Who each suits
Abissnet
Who it suits
- Households in Albania that want a straightforward fibre line with a free setup fee.
- Home workers and households sharing files, given upload speeds of 20 to 1,000 Mbps.
- Anyone who wants the entry price of ALL 2,400 without a joining charge.
Who should look elsewhere
- People outside AL, as the service is not offered there.
- Renters who want a short rolling agreement, since contracts run 12 and 24.
- Households wanting cable alongside fibre, as Astound also offers cable and fttp.
YouFibre
Who it suits
- Households already inside the full fibre footprint, in the United Kingdom, that want Wi-Fi kit in the box rather than buying a router separately.
- People who want a short commitment: the monthly rolling package has no fixed term and no early termination charge, though notice is needed in advance.
- Households that can plan around a fixed term, since the advertised rate lasts only for the opening stretch of the term before renewal prices of £34.99 to £129.99 apply.
Who should look elsewhere
- People wanting the highest headline speed in this comparison, since Abissnet lists 10,000 Mbps.
- Households outside the footprint, as coverage reaches 500,000 premises.
- Anyone who needs a mix of technologies, since EarthLink lists fttp, 5G and satellite while YouFibre runs on fttp alone.

Questions about each
Abissnet
What does the entry Abissnet plan cost?+
The entry plan starts at ALL 2,400 a month, and the setup fee is ALL 0. The published plans step up from that base point, so the monthly figure you see quoted is also the whole cost carried onto the first bill.
Is there a joining or setup charge?+
The setup fee is ALL 0, so there is nothing to pay before the service starts. Together with the entry price of ALL 2,400, that keeps the first-year cost of an Abissnet line straightforward to compare with another provider's total.
YouFibre
What does YouFibre cost to get started?+
Prices start at £20 a month, and the setup fee is £0. The entry rate sits on the slowest plan, and plans with more headroom are priced higher, so a quicker line means a bigger monthly bill. No separate hardware purchase is needed either, because Wi-Fi kit comes in the box on every plan.
What will I pay once the introductory price ends?+
The advertised rate lasts only for the opening stretch of a fixed term. After the minimum term passes, the monthly bill steps up to the list price, and renewal prices run £34.99 to £129.99. That sits well above the £20 entry figure, so treat the list price as the real ongoing cost. Plan contract months of 1, 12 and 24 lets you take a shorter or rolling term instead.
