UZO or WOO: Which Is Better in Portugal? (2026)
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.
