Our verdict on each
toob
toob suits UK households that want full fibre with uploads matching downloads, and it sits 5 of 36 brands on the monthly price kept after the term ends. The trade-off is the annual increase each April, so the later bill sits well above the opening figure.
YouFibre
YouFibre suits households inside its full fibre footprint that want a low entry price, Wi-Fi kit in the box and a rolling option alongside fixed terms. Entry starts at £20 with a £0 setup fee, and the brand ranks 1 of 86 on setup fee.

Pros and cons
toob
Pros
- Setup is free, and toob sits 1 of 86 on the setup fee ranking.
- Upload speed of 2,300 Mbps puts toob at 10 of 46 on the upload table.
- Once the term ends, bills of £26 to £37 place toob at 5 of 36 brands.
Cons
- The £18 entry is introductory: the terms add an annual increase each April, so the later bill is higher.
- Coverage is GB only, and the service runs on fttp, so a full fibre build has to reach your address.
- Early termination charges apply, worked out as the monthly fee less a set amount for each remaining full month.
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
toob
Who it suits
- Households in the UK on a full fibre line that want uploads as quick as downloads, at 2,300 Mbps.
- Anyone who wants a static IP and a Linksys Wi-Fi 7 router included without buying extra kit.
- Households that qualify for the social tariff.
Who should look elsewhere
- People outside GB: EarthLink lists 5G and satellite as well as fibre: fttp, 5G and satellite.
- Buyers chasing the highest headline speed: Abissnet is listed at 10,000 Mbps against 2,300 Mbps here.
- Shoppers who want cable in the mix: Astound lists it alongside fibre: 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
toob
What does toob cost to get started?+
The entry plan starts at £18 a month, and the setup fee is £0, so nothing is added to the opening invoice. Available contract lengths are 1, 12 and 24 months, so a short term and a long one both sit on the same list.
What will I pay once the contract ends?+
After the initial term the monthly bill moves to £26 to £37, depending on the plan you pick. That places toob at 5 of 36 brands on the price you keep, among the stronger positions on this measure. Ask for the renewal rate in writing before you sign.
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.
