    I live in an area where high speed broadband is not available. I opted to use EE 4G broadband with an external antenna. Speed is good at around 20mbs (compared to 2mbs on landline. The biggest issue is that broadband is capped at between 50 and 200 gb depending on which package you purchase. I have 200gb which lasts 3 weeks leaving us without any internet for one week each month. we are not particularly heavy users although my three children do watch TV online. Customer service are great, they have on 2 occasions refreshed the broadband mid month but they cant keep doing that. I'm tied in to an 18 month contract which I regret taking out. The landline was slow but at least it was always available.

    Never known such slow broadband. Sometimes impossible to even log-on. Dead slow download speeds averaging about 1.1-1.3 Mbps. Really bad. I thought it was a fault but reading other reviews I see it is typical of EE. And also the Tech Services department absolutely sucks!! This is a very bad company. Dishonest.

    No one should have to put up with internet this slow, this unreliable and this difficult to log on to. I repeatedly have to reset the router to get any sort of performance & even then it is hopeless. Customer service department is nothing short of incompetent. I seriously advise you keep away from EE broadband. The moment this dreadful contract expires I am leaving. I cannot envisage any other ISP being as shocking as EE!!!!!

    This is Dire Broadband. Just absolutely totally DIRE BROADBAND!!! It is so slow that it is hard to log on and difficult to download even emails. All those things that I took for granted with my previous internet service providers are a distant dream to me now. Words fail me to describe just how dire this ee company is. No help when I complain either, just a pack of excuses. I was mis-sold this. Make sure you avoid ee.

    Dies frequently. Currently, my broadband has not worked in 3 days. EE support asked to call back in 3 more days (!!). Once fixed, they only offered a refund for days the broadband has not worked... *sigh*

    AWFUL broadband. Deliberately slowed my old broadband so I had to 'upgrade' to their new faster service which is totally unworkable! Drops out every 15 mins meaning you a forever losing work and having to reboot. Never get calls back from tech department.... I have now Switched to another provider which is easy and highly recommended.

    I have nothing good to say about this company. They are complete money grabbers stay well clear. The apps and website is continually faulty . Overpriced for very poor service . They are disloyal to their loyal customers , since I've been with them twice they screwed me over and put me out of pocket unnecessarily . Their duty of care to their customers is poor. And I look forward to the day my contract ends with them .

    I now realise that EE broadband is a division of B.T. That says it all. EE broadband is like Britain today.....nothing works properly, no one gives a damn, prices go up without agreement mid-contract, no courtesy or interest in the customer. This EE Broadband is so slow it is not fit for the purpose in any way! A Scam!!

    EE 4g is fine when it is working, however if you have a problem because your internet fails as mine did during an upgrade, you then cannot get through to the right people as they are an internet service and if you call you need details that you cannot find as they are stored on the internet that you cannot access. Eventually you discover that you have to send away your box and await a repair, which means over 2 weeks without internet!

    I've been with broadband for three weeks and have had bad connectivity and speed. However, the customer service has been great. EE have done everything they can to sort the problems out. They have responded very quickly to any calls I've made and engineers have been sent out the next day. The line was checked twice and no faults found so they are now sending out a new router AND they are reimbursing me for loss of service. Although there have been issues with my broadband, the customer service makes up for that. I previously had my broadband with Virgin Media - not only did it cost a fortune but the connectivity was also poor at times and their customer service not very good at all. I am therefore happy with EE overall and would recommend them to others.

    Have been without broadband for 3 weeks and service still not restored. Spent MANY hours on phone already and 4 visits from Openreach engineer which have taken up 5 hour sliots for each. Warning that £50.00 penalty would be imposed if equipment at home is found to be the problem.
    Long delays each time I call with assurances that they pride their excellent service. One return call promised faithfully but not fulfilled and one promise to supply replacement route by return not honoured. Personnel appear to be helpful but no progress has been made. The Management need to know these problems and take positive action to provide acceptable level of service.
    We have two mobile phones from EE and receive low level of internet access or occasionally no service. All this living within 4 miles of a major city centre and less than 1 kilometre from the control unit. Decisive action required or replacement of senior staff who CAN DO and justify their positions.

    I have made 。EE aware despite I have the fast broadband firbre it is slow and very often my computer crashes

    I entered into a contract for fast delivery of broadband this is the worst broadband I have had and according to EE because the required speed in the area he stated in my contract I am now stuck with the broadband that doesn’t work whilst EE are happy to take my money and now suggested I go to the ombudsman

    I entered into a contract to get a fast Broadband I did not enter into a contract for EE specify I have the speed according to contract but not the broadband delivery I noticed the attitude has changed since becoming part of the BT group when your business – finally fail You will not be able to contest the bad causes you have made

    Members of the public be where this is a terrible company to do with throughout my complaints not able to receive the broadband I’m paying for iPad managers on the phone copy rude Speaking down to customers who contribute to watch that wages

    if i could give no stars i would. not fit for purpose. think dial up and then imagine something worse. terrible customer support which ive had to call at least 5 times every year. takes them an hour on the phone to sort it out and then give it a month or so and back to dial speeds again. just get a couple of bean cans and a bit of string. it'll be more reliable. anyway ive cancelled . it was quicker to just switch rather than spend another hour on the phone to their pony customer support team .and its cheaper and faster. good riddance

    I have never known broadband as bad as this. All these reviews are right it is too slow to work and thus unfit for the purpose. EE has structured itself to not give a toss for its customers. They must know how bad it is. I have complained enough times but no improvement happens, no compensation, no attempt to help....just no interest. I cant wait to sign up to another provider. Nothing can be as bad as EE.

    EE broadband is so bad it cannot be used. It cannot serve one device let alone multiples so the router is trash as well. My firestick freezes all the time (it did not with SKY) so my 3 year old gets really frustrated with her cartoons. This ISP it totally UNFIT FOR THE PURPOSE. Customer Service department takes the p**s out of us. What a disgusting company this is. DO NOT GO NEAR EE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!!!!!

    I am speechless that, living near to the centre of the Capital City of the U.K, I cannot receive a quality download speed from this British Internet EE Company! It is disgraceful.....as indeed is its misnomer of a customer services department. I have speeds so slow that streaming is impossible, emails with attachments will not download or upload, graphic heavy sites take an age to download and it is all but impossible to run more than one device off of the router. Utterly Disgraceful.

    Having switched broadband between Sky, BT and Talktalk I had mistakenly formed the opinion that it didn't really matter who your provider was. They were all much of a muchness, just get the cheapest deal. Then I switched to EE on an 18 month contract. Big mistake! It's like a trip back in time to the good old bad old days of dial up. Was dial up this bad? Never again, all the one and no star reviews are accurate. It's truly shocking.

    If you are thinking of getting ee I would highly recommend against it. I have never had such a bad broadband in my life it's the slowest nothing will download for me. All my movies end up buffering for most of the time which pisses me off. They will cancel the contract for 180 pounds but we want to cancel on the grounds that our contract states we are to get 78mbps and we don't even get 1.2mbps. Please never use ee they are as close to scammers as PPI. Worst service. Disgusting service. There licence should be taking off them.

    Worst internet ever. I pay £30 a month for 72 mps so that online games are completely unplayable, I live in the city centre and my ping on eu servers no matter what game I play is in the 90's and 100's most of the time. Downloading anything takes way longer than they should (took me 8 hours to download league of legends). Watching any movies or videos is pointless as it always ends up stopping and buffering even on low quality. I've asked for help from ee many times and all they've done is basically shrug me off every time. No. 1 internet service provider my bumhole.

    I just cannot use this EE broadband because it is too slow to work. It takes ages to log on, it takes ages to download an email. That's a s far as it goes. Try to download a busy site of a video and there is no chance. What kind of garbage broadband is this!!! I am so sick to death of complaining to there technical department. After 4 months of complaining nothing is better...NOTHING!!!! I got this as a fixed term and fixed price contract for 18 months and they have put the price up!!!! EE is a SCAM!!!!! KEEP AWAY FROM EE!!!!!!!

    This is digusting broadband, too slow for any useful purpose. I am sick of complaining to their idea of customer services. Reall bad broadband. cannot watch a video and basic internet functions are slowed down to a level that means they virtually do not work. Too slow to even use one device properly. Literally!!
    DO NOT CONSIDER EE AS A BROADBAND PROVIDER!!! It is truely terrible!

If you want to log on quick, if you want fast downloads, if you want reliable download speeds, if you want to get to your inbox fast, if you want to download and upload fast, if you want to watch TV reruns, if you want to watch/stream videos, if you use a Amazon firestick, in fact if you want any kind of decent Broadband.....then DO NOT GO TO EE BROADBAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We were very satisfied with Virgin.WHAT A MISTAKE!!!
    My printer is continually not accessible due to broadband failure,Our TV is OK unless I try Amazon or Netflix and they refuse to send anyone to help us (2 pensioners)

    Slow doesn't cover it!!!!!. It just is not fit for the purpose. How can EE call broadband that is this slow a Broadband Connection. Oh, and don't forget the comedy show that passes for customer services that is able to do Nothing!!! Oh! And don't forget the price hike mid contract on a "fixed price for 18 months" contract. Wow...There are so many Cowboys working for EE they should be in a Western.

    The Broadband download speeds for this ISP have diminished month on month, until now I barely exceed 1.2Mps. This is outrageous! Countless times I have complained, the router has been changed, EE says it has done this and that and yet the download speed is still appalling.
    There are two points to be noted here:
    Firstly that the speed used to be much higher.
    The second point is that with my previous ISP the download speeds....for the same line and set up....were around 24Mps.
    So, either there has been a cataclysmic disaster with EE.....which means they should have repaired it OR there is a policy of constricting download speeds to existing customers. The moment this contract expires I am leaving for good.

    Never have I had such a slow download speed since the days of narrowband in the nineties. I have repeatedly complained to the EE service dept but nothing has been done. I am 6 months into an 18 month contract and I am really unhappy with this Company. My mate is an IT analyst and he tells me that he believes that EE deliberately squeezes the download speeds to allow more people to use the same pipe and that is illegal but no one can prove it. My download is around 1.4Mb/s. That makes watching videos impossible, and not more than one device can be used off a router. I never had this problem with Talk Talk and I thought they were bad.

    EE broadband really is disgraceful. All the time it is crawling pace downloads, my Amazon Firestick worked great with SKY but now I cannot watch a video without stuttering or freezing completely. The line is the same, all thet has changed is the provider! It is impossible to upload an email with an attachment and generally, all of the time the download speed hovers around 1.2Mbps, that is disgraceful. No matter how many times I complain to EE's idea of a customer services department, nothing improves. They want me to go to fibre....but when they sold me this package, EE assured me that my downloads would be at least as fast as my previous provider (SKY). That is a blatant lie! EE broadband cannot support more than one device at a time and in fact CANNOT EVEN SUPPORT ONE DEVICE! Oh, and to add to the tissue of deceipt, they have increased my contract fees mid way through a "Fixed Price Contract".
    AVOID EE COMPLETELY!!

    If you have a problem with EE broadband speed, particularly upload, replace the terrible bright box 1 router. I started using the technicolor I got from SSE 3 years ago and the problem with unusable slow upload has disappeared. I feel sorry for the people working on the customer service line. They can't say that the supplied router is rubbish and you need to use something else to get reasonable service.
