Updated August 2026. **UZO and WOO are almost identical on price**: both sell 100 GB mobile at EUR 5 per month in the August campaign (UZO lists at EUR 8 from September) and 1 Gbps fibre at around EUR 15 per month. The decision comes down to **network coverage**: UZO uses MEO (better rural), WOO uses NOS (excellent cities). Both have no-contract options.

## Which Is Better, UZO or WOO?

**UZO wins on substance: unlimited calls, data rollover, 30GB roaming and MEO rural reach. Pick WOO when the €5 campaign price and top-rated app support matter more than rural coverage, and re-check UZO's post-August price.**

### Pick UZO (MEO network) if...

You travel rural Portugal, call a lot, or want unused data to roll over.

### Pick WOO (NOS network) if...

You want the best-reviewed app experience and NOS urban performance.
