Toob Broadband Review 2026

The main highlight is toob’s symmetrical speed. Its home broadband plans give equal upload and download speeds, which is still not common among UK broadband providers. That gives users better performance for cloud backups, video calls, large file uploads and homes with heavy daily broadband use.

If toob is available at your postcode, home900 is the most appealing package in the range. It combines very fast speed with a low monthly price, free installation and a Wi-Fi 6 router. The biggest drawback is coverage. Toob is expanding across England and Scotland, but it is still not available everywhere, and some packages are only available in selected areas.

Toob broadband deals at a glance

Toob launched in 2017 and has grown from the south coast into a much wider full fibre network. It is based in Portsmouth and now covers parts of England and Scotland.

Home broadband plans and prices

Toob keeps its range of plans far simpler than many broadband providers. You do not need to work through a long list of small speed steps to find the package that suits your home.

Home150 is the lower-cost fixed-term option. Home900 is the main premium home package and will suit most buyers who want very fast full fibre. The one month rolling option gives the same 900Mbps speed without a long contract. Toob essentials gives eligible households a lower-cost route into full fibre.

That simple structure makes toob easier to compare than providers with several similar packages at closely spaced prices.

Home900

Home900 costs £25 a month on an 18 month contract. It includes 900Mbps download speed, 900Mbps upload speed, unlimited usage, free installation, customer service seven days a week and a Wi-Fi 6 router.

This is the strongest package in toob’s home range. For many buyers, it is the main reason to consider the provider. Equal 900Mbps download and upload speeds are excellent for 4K streaming, large game downloads, cloud storage, home working, remote access and busy multi-device homes.

The price is especially attractive. A 900Mbps full fibre plan at £25 a month stands out in a market where faster packages often cost much more. If you want the best value plan in the range and can get it at your postcode, this is the obvious choice.

Home150

Home150 costs £19.50 a month on an 18 month contract. It includes 150Mbps download speed, 150Mbps upload speed, unlimited usage, free installation, customer service seven days a week and a Wi-Fi 6 router. It is only available in selected areas.

This is the cheaper fixed-term option and it will suit many typical households. A 150Mbps full fibre service is enough for streaming, browsing, video calls, online study and home working in many homes. The equal upload speed also makes it more useful than slower entry-level fibre plans that cut upload performance sharply.

That matters if you regularly send work files, back up photos and video to the cloud or use video calls throughout the week. Home150 gives enough bandwidth for everyday home broadband use without forcing buyers to pay for a top-end package.

The main issue is availability. Some buyers will find that home150 is not offered at their postcode even when other toob plans are available.

1 month rolling broadband

Toob’s flexible package costs £39 a month on a rolling contract. It includes 900Mbps download speed, 900Mbps upload speed, unlimited usage, free installation, customer service seven days a week and a Wi-Fi 6 router.

This is the package for people who need flexibility first and low monthly cost second. It is ideal for renters, short-term lets, temporary moves and anyone who does not want to commit to 18 months.

The price difference is clear. You pay £14 a month more than the fixed-term home900 package for the same speed. That means buyers pay extra for contract freedom rather than extra performance. For anyone who can accept an 18 month deal, home900 offers much better value. For buyers who need a shorter commitment, though, this package fills an important gap.

Toob essentials social tariff

Toob essentials costs £15 a month and gives 50Mbps download speed and 50Mbps upload speed. The package includes free installation, no line rental, a Wi-Fi 6 router and customer service seven days a week.

This is a better social tariff than many buyers will expect because it still uses full fibre and still gives equal upload and download speed. That is useful for video calls, cloud storage and general home broadband use, not just basic browsing.

Eligibility depends on location and benefits. The package is only available in selected toob areas and is limited to households receiving Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Jobseeker’s Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance or Income Support. PIP does not qualify.

The contract terms are more flexible than a standard fixed-term broadband deal. Customers can leave with at least seven days’ notice before the next bill date, and toob does not charge early termination fees on this plan. That gives eligible households a lower-cost full fibre option without tying them into a stricter contract.

Complete Wi-Fi

Complete Wi-Fi costs £6 a month on an 18 month contract. It uses a Linksys mesh Wi-Fi 6 system and is available with home150 and home900.

This add-on is useful for homes where one router cannot deliver good wireless coverage in every room. A mesh system spreads Wi-Fi more evenly across the property and helps reduce blackspots and weak signal areas.

Toob gives this add-on a clearer promise than many providers. It guarantees a minimum speed of 35Mbps in every room of the home, excluding out-buildings, garage conversions and gardens. That gives buyers a proper coverage target rather than a vague promise of better Wi-Fi.

Larger homes, older properties with thicker internal walls and homes that rely heavily on wireless devices are the clearest audience for this add-on. Smaller homes and many flats are less likely to need it.

Router and Wi-Fi

Toob includes a Linksys Wi-Fi 6 router with its home broadband plans. The main benefit is better performance across a busy home network, because Wi-Fi 6 lets more devices connect efficiently and helps reduce buffering on phones, tablets, laptops and smart TVs.

Toob also presents the router as a higher-spec option rather than a basic free box. It says the router is designed to identify and ignore nearby Wi-Fi signals from neighbouring homes, which helps reduce interference and improve wireless quality inside the home.

For buyers who want the fastest possible connection on a desktop PC, games console or similar device, toob recommends using one of the router’s ethernet ports instead of Wi-Fi. That is the best setup for getting the strongest speed from a full fibre connection.

The router also works with the Linksys app. That gives customers a simple way to turn on guest Wi-Fi and change the network name and password without going through a more technical router menu.

If stronger whole-home wireless coverage is needed, toob also offers Complete Wi-Fi. That adds a Linksys mesh Wi-Fi 6 system and is the more relevant option for larger homes or homes with weaker signal in some rooms.

Static IP

Toob offers a static IPv4 address for £8 a month. This is available on all of its broadband plans except toob essentials.

A static IP will not matter to most home broadband users. Streaming, gaming, browsing and everyday home working do not usually need one. It becomes more relevant if you want to host a website, run a gaming or email server, use a Plex media server, set up a remote VPN or access your home network from elsewhere.

Toob uses CG-NAT as standard. The static IP add-on gives you a fixed public IPv4 address instead, which is why it is more relevant for advanced users than for mainstream households.

Business broadband

Toob also offers a separate business broadband service. The main business package includes 900Mbps download speed, 900Mbps upload speed, unlimited usage, an optional static IP address at no extra monthly charge, an optional mesh Wi-Fi extender at no extra monthly charge, a 48 hour service level agreement with a £50 credit back excluding VAT, premium installation for £149 excluding VAT and no in-contract price rises.

This is a stronger business package than a basic rebadged home plan. The static IP option, the service level agreement and the optional mesh hardware make it more useful for small offices, shops, studios and other workplaces that rely on cloud software, large file transfers, video calls and customer Wi-Fi.

The equal upload and download speed is especially valuable for businesses. It helps with cloud backups, shared storage, large media files and remote working across a team.

The one thing missing from the business page is a clearly displayed monthly subscription price. Buyers can see the core features and installation charge, but the page does not show a simple headline monthly price in the same way as the home range.

Student broadband

Toob now has a dedicated student broadband page, but it does not currently show a separate student tariff with a live monthly price. The page highlights 900Mbps download speed, 900Mbps upload speed, unlimited usage and no line rental, and it focuses on shared student homes.

That means students do not currently have a clearly priced student-only deal to compare against specialist student broadband offers from some rivals. For now, the clearest option in toob’s range for students is still the one month rolling 900Mbps package.

That rolling plan makes sense for student housing because it avoids a long contract, while the 900Mbps speed gives plenty of bandwidth for streaming, gaming, coursework uploads, video calls and several people using the connection at the same time.

If toob later adds a properly priced student package, that could become one of the more useful parts of the range. At the moment, though, the student page feels more like a dedicated landing page than a fully separate broadband product.

Setup, switching and phone service

Toob includes free installation across its main home broadband plans, which keeps joining costs easier to understand.

It also uses One Touch Switch, so the gaining provider manages the switching process. That should make the move simpler for people changing from another broadband provider.

For buyers who still want a phone service, toob uses VoIP rather than a traditional landline. Its named partner is Phonely. That will matter for customers who want to keep using a home phone number after moving to full fibre.

Coverage and availability

Coverage is still the biggest practical limitation with toob. The network reaches parts of England and Scotland, including places in Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Devon, Dorset, Essex, Norfolk, Yorkshire, the West Midlands and Scotland.

Scottish locations listed on the site include Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Elderslie, Johnstone, Paisley, Glasgow, Inverness and Stirling. In England, the list includes locations such as Southampton, Portsmouth, Fareham, Eastleigh, Woking, Reading, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Norwich, Leeds, Sheffield, Coventry, Bradford and many others.

That is a broad spread for a growing full fibre provider, but it is still not national coverage. Buyers should always check their postcode, and that is even more important with home150 and toob essentials because both are only available in selected areas.

Customer service and overall service standard

Toob offers customer service seven days a week across its home broadband plans. It also offers unlimited usage and does not cap data or throttle speeds.

That combination will appeal to heavy users and larger households. The service is clearly focused on fast full fibre without usage limits, which is exactly what buyers expect at this end of the market.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Simple range of plans that is easy to compare
• Equal upload and download speeds on the main home packages
• Home900 offers excellent value at £25 a month
• Free installation across the main home plans
• Wi-Fi 6 router included
• One month rolling 900Mbps option available
• Toob essentials gives eligible households a lower-cost full fibre service
• Complete Wi-Fi includes a clear 35Mbps room-by-room coverage promise

Cons

• Coverage is still limited compared with national providers
• Home150 is only available in selected areas
• Toob essentials depends on both location and benefit eligibility
• The rolling contract costs much more than home900
• Business broadband page does not show a simple headline monthly price
• Student broadband does not currently have a separate live priced tariff
• Buyers who want a phone service need VoIP rather than a traditional landline

Final verdict

Toob gets a lot right. It keeps its range of plans clear, offers strong value on its fastest package and gives equal upload and download speeds on the plans that matter most. That last point is one of the biggest reasons to take the provider seriously, because upload speed still gets neglected by many broadband companies.

Home900 is the standout package in the range. At £25 a month with 900Mbps download speed and 900Mbps upload speed, it is one of the most attractive parts of toob’s offer and should suit a wide range of households.

Home150 is a cheaper alternative for smaller homes and lighter budgets, while the one month rolling plan gives real flexibility to renters and short-term users. Toob essentials also adds genuine value by giving eligible households a lower-cost full fibre option with more flexible leaving terms.

The main issue remains coverage. If toob is not live at your postcode, the rest of the review does not matter. If it is available, though, toob is one of the more appealing full fibre providers in the areas it serves.
