    Constant issues with speed and quality through contract. Trying to get through to customer service is like pulling teeth. The speed never came near what was advertised and we had very few weekends where we weren't throttled, again - not what was advertised. Avoid.

    Switched over from very reliable Sky ISDN, because of the 10GB mobile data offer. Took over 2 weeks to settle down - constant dropouts/speed issues etc. Infuriating, compared to top providers. But a month on, the speed is constantly 20 mbps (advertised as 13),and the router/modem seems to have a better range than the cheapo Sky box. Seems a good bargain for £21 (so far). Haven't had to talk to customer support, as yet.

    Initially my contact was for a complaint relating to one of their authorised online sellers called Metrophone. When I tried contacting them their telephone number was not in use, so I tried cancelling the purchase. Eventually I was in contact with a guy called Daniel in the exec team at EE, and credit where it is due, he was brilliant. I was so impressed I decided to take out my broadband with them, but I told him I had read some bad reviews about waiting time for equipment and connection. He sent me a mobile Internet device with data FREE of charge for the interim peroid. Four months later, Daniel had left the business and EE have used the direct debit set up for my mobile phone and taken £45 for the FREE device (my mobile phone contract was £14 per month)! I struggled to get my money back and I am now in deadlock. The exec team have passed me from pillar to post! One of the team actually made threats towards me, suggesting that if I don't agree to their resolution suggestions, they will revoke the resolution deal from the original complaint back in December! Absolutely appalled at the handling of THEIR mistake! Be warned .... they cannot be trusted with access to your bank account! The bank did get the £45 back, but I would not pay anything by direct debit to this company ever again!

    I was an EE mobile customer and the service has always been excellent, I received an email from EE offering a deal on their fibre broadband and, as a mobile customer I would get 10mb of free data on my mobile. It also came at the same time sky put up its prices.

    Having switched to EE fibre (easiest and best part) I have now had to visits from bt openreach to try and resolve the poor speed issues the last one on Tuesday the engineer was here for almost 2hrs, rewired the house, the connection in the cabinet but, still the speed is no better used to get 34mbps from sky now I can only get 18mbps down the same phone line! BT say it’s an issue with EE, EE says its BT.

    Worst service ever.

    The mobile network I found to be very good
    so because of this we got EE broadband hoping for the same quality
    No it is so un-reliable and i usually find it cut out at least twice a night and even when it does work it is slow compared to other broadbands
    it is a scam
    I was applauded by the low quality and after reporting the issue many times and still no improvement or any action on there part at all I am disgusted
    I hope anyone considering EE will learn from my mistake and go to BT

    I decided to go with EE broadband after reading external reviews online. I was kept up to date throughout and everything came in time for the switchover.
    I have been pleasantly surprised by both speed and reliability, I did have an initial problem of devices not connecting but once I spoke to their technical support via a video call, it was found that I had placed the router in a poor location. Once I had moved this, everything worked perfectly and all devices connect well
    The speed is good and close to advertised (Fibre - I am still within the 10 day adjustment period) and have had no problems with connections since then. Customer support was quick and I got through to someone within 2 minutes both times and found them very helpful

    Is the worst seevice ever. I had problems all the time! The connection was dropping at every 5 minutes. I used to call them at every 3 weeks and they were sending me engineer. And i asked them to cancel my contract and they took me again money for another month of no service. Awful!

    The WORST company I have EVER come across. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! The WiFi turns off every single night without fail and funnily enough it always seems to happen once the office are closed therefore I cannot contact them.

    The WORST company I have EVER come across. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! The WiFi turns off every single night without fail and funnily enough it always seems to happen once the office are closed therefore I cannot contact them. And when I have called I’ve been told that the WiFi needs to have a problem at the time I call so that they can see the issue. They also refuse to help you unless all your bills are up to date even if you have a payment plan. I wouldn’t even recommend this company to my dog

    I’ve been with EE three years now, had some issues with sky before and it was a pain to speak to their Indian support.
    Had an issue once with EE when switching from sky, had to call them a few times, they’ve fixed it and gave me one month free. I’ve had fibre, then fibre plus, now I’ve signed up for fibre plus again.
    It’s easy to contact them, at 8:30am I had to wait for consultant about 7 min but then around 12:30pm they’ve picked up straight away.
    Sky would be £3 cheaper monthly but I’m staying with EE as it was always fine for the last three years.

    I have been a customer for many many years and now decided to change provider. Customer service difficult to reach, I had twice my broadband speed reviewed and "rectified" however it'still very slow, certainly always much slower than contracted, a smooth streaming or quick downloading is nearly impossible. I live in the centre of London when having a good broadband should not be an issue

    I received a cold call to join EE broadband a year ago on a 18 month contract. I was told that it would be "cheaper & faster" than my sky broadband I had at the time which was giving me download speeds of around 10Mbps.

    I agreed to join - paying a severance fee to Sky.

    Unfortunately, since I switched over the internet speeds were very slow <1Mbps and sometimes the internet completely dropped. I raised the issue multiple times with EE and did all that they said to remedy this. It was always slow and the drops in connections kept happening.

    Ultimately, after a while EE sent an engineer who was able to get me speeds of up to 6Mbps (albeit for a short time) but the drops in connection got worse. I was fed up and kept raising the issue.

    Finally, at end of December I asked to leave the contract without paying the severance. They said that is not possible and I need to give a formal notice of leave and then they have 30 days to try and fix the issue. I did that.

    They sent someone round and tried a few things but the issue wasn't solved. I gave my notice at end of Jan and EE informed me I need to pay the severance fee. Their explanation was that the issue that I raised was "fixed" when they put in a solution and any future issues I have are treated as a new issue and hence for their part they have fixed my issue. I have raised more than 15 issues in the time I was contracted to EE - all of which are apparently closed. And because of this I am to pay a severance fee when I leave EE.

    To top it off they have the nerve to call me yesterday to incentivise me to stay with them. You can guess what my reply was!

    Very expensive at £32.50 a month over a 12 month contract. I found staff annoying and rude. Service poor and speeds random. Wouldn't use EE again.

    Wel’ EE broadband is one of the worst service provider in uk so far everyone knows.
    I been with them nearly 3 years as I had no choice but at the end I did terminate the contract without pay as I stopped direct debit .
    i don’t care what action they will take as EE didn’t care about my service.
    Usually EE customer service are very poor.
    Finally ,I do request everyone not to take EE.

    The wifi is absolutely awful. We were told we would have a download speed of 14 Mbps and we are lucky if we get 3. It has even been known to go as low as 0.6 - which is absolutely ridiculous. The customer service staff are pleasant to speak to however this doesn't take away from the fact that this is the worst wifi speed I have ever used. We've been told multiple times that the problem would be fixed, and they have once sent an engineer out to fix the problem however it seems to be worse than ever. Extremely unsatisfied.

    I could live with broadband speed although it was slowing down to a halt very often. The problem I have with EE( as well as with many other providers) is that after the end of my contract they started charging me about 70% more. That's not the way to treat loyal customers.I perceive this as highly unethical on their part. They know very well many people have no time to track every payment. I they finally notice something is wrong they will instantly sweet talk you into another contract with them cutting the price by half. They can afford this scam only because there are still lots customers who go for that. I am saying NO!!!. I AM LEAVING YOU EE FOR GOOD. YOU FOOL ME ONCE...

    If I could rate it zero I honestly would , I genuinely thought you couldn’t get worse than Tesco mobile but clearly EE proved that you can get worse than them... moving to EE was the worst decision my parents ever made .... my 4g is absolutely a bag of rubbish it goes soooo slow everywhere I go ... It decides to not even turn on when I turn it on sometimes ... has mind of its own .. decides when it wants to work and that’s never . My parents even sighted up for a contract with them for a wi Fi box and I swear it never works on mine or sisters phone nothings loads it goes so so slow I can’t even deal it gets me so so angry . the worst part is even when there’s only one person using the wi fi it still goes extremely painfully slow ... I can’t even use my own 4g never because it NEVER WORKS WHEN IM AT HOME . No idea why?!? It’s been like this for a good few months now but my mum never believed me because her phone the wi fi worked normally for her but for everyone else it just wasn’t until a few weeks ago where her internet started going slow aslwell as mine and she began to believe me that it’s awful . It’s ruining everything for me !!!!!!! It’s affecting my work , my college work , my placement work , my emails and most importantly my youtube and netflix !!!! Sort this out ... we need SKY back we took it for granted wow

    Signed up as my phone is with EE.
    For the first year everything was fine, not superfast, but my flatmate and I had no problems streaming tv or browsing the web.
    After the first year the speed dropped dramatically.
    My flatmate moved out so I am the only one using the internet.
    The last speed test showed speeds of 0.07 upload and 0.07 download.
    If you call they will run a basic line test and thats it.
    Over the past year I have received a new router.
    Engineer visits.
    An EE adviser telling me that the speed has dropped because too many people are using it (not true)

    In September I had 4 weeks of no internet. They offered me 5gb of data for my phone to compensate - which they ended up charging me for.....

    I was with Virgin for 4 years and never had one issue.

    Since I got EE it has been issue after issue/

    Huge mistake changing over

    I have 2 sim only contracts with we. 2 phone lines with we. One is basic ADSL which has never failed. The other is VDSL fibre ( to the box!) So far, mobile service is very good. As for the vdsl fibre, not so good! Line drops about once a week! The waffle I have had from poorly trained general staff makes me weep. The main issue is the EE router. The WiFi struggles to keep going. My portable devices often say " connected, no internet" My smart TV dies in the middle of a Netflix movie! My desktop PC the same. Both these devices are Ethernet connected. EE have replaced the VDSL router, a total of 3 times while arguing that its my CCTV that's causing it all! Unfortunately for EE, I am the owner of a CCTV company. I install CCTV on other customers broadband. I don't get calls saying they can't log into their cameras! I have now had to buy my own ( Billion) VDSL router, which has been solid since installation! EE have offered me 50% of the £100 cost by way of a credit! As far as I'm concerned, not good enough!!! The senior support staff are polite and courteous. Its a pity they are let down by a lame router

    they overcharge me after I finished to pay my phone, they force me to declare that I was leaving the service because I wanted an inferior services, that I could not complaing beacuase I signed the contract, I did it in the shop in a hurry, as did not had the change to read the whole thing. let alone to understand it, they took advantage of me, never going back to EE, not matter what.

    Would not waste your time with EE they are a joke seriously when it comes to Mobile Phones no problems at all I have a contact with them never had any issues with Mobile, I took out WIFI with them as I thought I could have Mobile + WIFI all in one bill nice and convenient and it was the worst thing I ever done. When I enquired over the phone about the WIFI I told her the WIFI will be used for gaming with a Playstation 4 (Older Version) and watching/streaming Netflix etc she promised me I would not have any issues connecting to my Console so I took it out had issues straight after it went live my router was downstairs and could not even connect my phone to my WIFI from one floor up! They told be to buy a WIFI booster £25 and they would take it off my bill I reluctantly said ok bought it and that still did not work! I said I would like to cancel the contract as I was promised services and they were not delivered then 3 weeks later I receive a bill for £300 rung them up and complained there was nothing they could do as "the debt was sold to a collection agency" well jokes on them when I said I will pay a £1 a week/ Dont waste your time with EE they know about phones and not much else.

    this is going to be long.
    from the begin there was a problem with the speed, however i have been informed it is going to take up to 10 days to set. after 10 days obviously went only worse. this is when i was no longer entitled to leave without cancellation fee. what i am currently pay is super fibre up to 80meg, with min of 38. ON THE CABLE my spped after 5-11pm is from 2-6 MEG!!! i was phoning them almost every single day for over 3 weeks, every day spoken to someone else telling the story from the begin. so far i had 2 engeneers (which obviously did not manage to do a thing) the conversation started with a manager im on the line with him for over a month now i have raised the complaint which is obviously still open they was trying to convince me to close the complain so they will take a money off my bill(lol) i sent several screenshoot of the spped test to prove them cuz obviously from their side av 80meg(lol). the issue all of the sudden has been fixed for 2 weeks, and dropped again few days ago so the ballte have started all over again, they are very surprised that i want to leave. i made again a screenshot being on the phone with the manager and apparently he did not receive it. i have been accused(they think that may be it) of using VPN on my PC(whatever it call) i have also made a VIDEO to show the way i am changin the cable to the laptop and running speed test but i am just waitng for the call back with the idea how to send it over to them.. IN WOULD NOT RECCOMEND TO ANYONE!!!!

    EE Broadband is one scam. Super slow downloads and often no way of logging on. No chance to stream or game and no chance to get one device to work ......forget a few. And forget the excuse for so called customer service! What a joke! This company sucks!!! Keep away from these cowboys!

    EE are liars. they misinformed us about fees. We have sent a letter with our lawyer and they do not answer. they are misinforming to get you to sign a contract with them. they do not answer in their online chat, there is no way to call them directly and in the messenger chat they are just telling that they want to help and actually they are not helping at all
