Our verdict on each
Kinetic
Kinetic is a low-cost, month-to-month US fibre provider for households that want steady speeds without a long contract or an upfront charge. Entry pricing of $19.99 a month and a setup fee of $0 make it a strong pick, though the ceiling of 2,000 Mbps is modest for the busiest homes.
Zzoomm
Zzoomm suits households already inside its full-fibre build that want a quick upgrade and can live with the jump at renewal. Entry pricing starts at £20 a month, while post-term pricing runs £32 to £70, so the second bill is the figure to weigh before signing.

Pros and cons
Kinetic
Pros
- Entry pricing of $19.99 a month puts full fibre within reach of tighter household budgets.
- The setup fee is $0, and Kinetic places 1 of 86 on that measure, so nothing is added at the point of order.
- Plans run on 1 month and No termination fee on cancel, so leaving is low friction.
Cons
- The top speed of 2,000 Mbps is well below the 10,000 Mbps listed by Abissnet, which matters for very heavy multi-user homes.
- Rates are subject to change after the guarantee period, and after a relocation, change or suspension, so the $19.99 entry rate is not fixed for the life of the account.
- Service runs in US only, so households elsewhere cannot buy at all.
Zzoomm
Pros
- Entry pricing of £20 a month with £0 setup keeps the first bill small.
- Free WiFi 6 or WiFi 7 router included is part of the package rather than a separate purchase.
- Upload matches download at 2,300 Mbps, so heavy uploads are not the bottleneck.
Cons
- Renewal pricing is the weak point, with post-term monthly cost at £32 to £70 against a £20 entry price.
- Coverage rests on a build of 600,000 premises, so any address outside that footprint cannot order.
- The line is fttp alone, whereas Astound lists cable and fttp, so homes that want cable have fewer options here.
Who each suits
Kinetic
Who it suits
- Renters and short-stay households, since plans run on 1 month and No termination fee on cancel means little to unwind.
- Budget-first families who want fibre, with entry pricing at $19.99 and a setup fee of $0.
- Home workers who need a fixed address, as static IP is available on Kinetic lines.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone chasing the highest headline speeds: Abissnet lists 10,000 Mbps against Kinetic's 2,000 Mbps.
- Households outside US, where EarthLink's fttp, 5G and satellite options are worth a look.
- People who want cable as well as fibre, since Astound lists cable and fttp.
Zzoomm
Who it suits
- Households inside Zzoomm's full-fibre build that want 2,300 Mbps in both directions.
- People who would rather not buy hardware, since Free WiFi 6 or WiFi 7 router included comes as standard.
- Anyone who needs a static IP, plus help by email, chat and phone.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants cable alongside full fibre should look at Astound, which lists cable and fttp.
- Readers chasing the highest headline download should look at Abissnet, which reaches 10,000 Mbps.
- Houses outside GB can rule Zzoomm out; EarthLink lists fttp, 5G and satellite as a different mix.

Questions about each
Kinetic
How much does Kinetic broadband cost?+
Kinetic's fibre line starts at $19.99 a month on the entry plan, with faster tiers priced above it and no joining charge, since the setup fee is $0. The published figure is the standing monthly rate for the plan rather than a limited introductory offer that later resets higher.
Is there a contract and a cancellation fee?+
Plans run on 1 month, so there is no long minimum term to serve out before moving. Cancelling is correspondingly simple: No termination fee on cancel. That combination makes Kinetic one of the easier providers to leave if the price or the speed stops matching what a household needs.
Zzoomm
What does Zzoomm broadband cost at the start?+
The entry plan starts at £20 a month, with faster full-fibre plans listed above it on the same network and the same term length. Setup costs £0, so there is no activation charge to add to the first bill.
Which contract lengths can I choose?+
Terms come in 1, 12 and 24 month lengths, so a shorter commitment is available for anyone who does not want a long tie. The trade-off is the exit terms, since leaving before the minimum period is over brings a charge for early exit.
