Astound vs yallo

Astound

Who it suits

• Households in US whose street already has cable or fibre to the home and who want equal download and upload speeds.
• Families adding mobile lines to the same account, where a multi line discount and rolling billing apply.
• Renters and short-stay households, since No cancellation penalty; change or cancel anytime.

Who should look elsewhere

• Buyers who want a fibre to the home provider and nothing else, because cable and fttp includes cable while Abissnet and Kinetic list fibre to the home alone.
• Homes a wired network does not reach, where EarthLink adds fttp, 5G and satellite options.
• Travellers who expect European roaming to come included, since EU roaming is paid.

yallo

Who it suits

• People in Switzerland who want a spare or second line without a contract, starting at CHF 0 a month.
• Travellers from Switzerland who need Europe roaming already included rather than a separate roaming add-on.
• Readers who are happy with pay-as-you-go data but still want eSIM, 5G and WiFi calling on one prepaid plan.

Who should look elsewhere

• People who would rather buy from the carrier itself, since getesa and yesss! are both listed as a network while yallo is an mvno.
• Readers outside CH, where yallo does not run at all, should look at a brand built for their market, such as lonestar-cell-mtn.
• Anyone whose main goal is the lowest unlimited rate, since yallo sits at 87 of 173 on that measure.
