Changed our broadband and TV package over to EE today. Internet is fine but then I get a call saying nobody can get through on my landline. Only to find out after waiting for 25 minutes to speak to 'customer services' they've allocated us a temporary number. Without telling us. Disgraceful given that it's an emergency number for our elderly relatives.No wonder you can't get through to customer services!!!!!! A shame you can't review below one star!

If you value any kind of customer service then don't join EE, we have had an intermittent service for the 7 months since we were convinced to join them having got mobile through them. the speeds you will get will not be anything like promised, the customer service and technical teams are to be blunt completely inept, rude or both. I have had to call them almost weekly to get the broadband working, they excel at empty platitudes and apologies without actually resolving anything so we have cancelled and gone to BT on the same line but without any of the difficulties.

Hoped I wasn't getting into anything awful reading all the reviews, but so far EE have been great (2 months in so far)
My only annoyance was that I took a day off for the initial engineer visit. The guy never attended my house BUT he attended the box (this is communication issue with Openreach) and to be fair the guy sorted the box in the road and the attended my house three days after as promised. EE customer support were great.
There are horror stories on here, but there will be in most places.

Having used (or tried!)to use the ee broadband service for 12 months we are about to give up. Customer service is so poor and blatant lies they tell you, we were told we had to have a new order after THEY disconnected our service in error only to find out 7days later the order had not been placed, they promise to ring you and never did. I have spent a total of 8hours plus trying to get to the source of the problem without success. Must be bt showing their influence. Never again will we touch ee. Broadband and 5 mobiles about to be moved.

Just recently had phone and adsl broadband installed and it's all gone super smooth. I was cagey having read some of the reviews on here but so far all is well.
Well done EE.

I had issues with speed initially so I called and expressed my concern and to be fair to EE they sorted it. So those that are having speed issues try getting in touch with them and ask them to sort it.

I have been with EE for only three or so months and at first the broadband was running fine, then a few weeks on, the broadband connection kept failing. It was noticeable that our network could not cope with numerous devices. I phoned the customer services four times, oh my goodness, what a waste of time!
So now We're leaving to go with another company, they wouldn't even scrap the fee for leaving the contract early as a good will jesture. It goes to say I definitely would NOT recommend EE to anyone!!

Having been a customer of Orange since there inception and never had a problem with service or their amazing customer service, since the merger or whatever it is with EE it has ALL gone horribly wrong.
Both Mobile and Home Broadband provision
customer call centre staff dont appear to know what they are doing and cant understand half of what you say. Managers of technical support that give you a customer complaint ref number for them to never make contact with you again because the one call they obviously feel obliged to make is sufficient for their records even though the reason I couldnt talk right at that moment was... oh yes I was working!!!!!
My issues with EE???
3 months + of intermittent slow and completely non existent internet access. Tech support have tried the old 'Oh its the line, you need to get in touch with your telephone provider'. RUBBISH!
It has nothing to do with that at all.
My landline is fine, noise free and thus has nothing to do with the service that you are NOT providing!
And good god, if I'm asked to turn my router off and on again once more!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrr
I feel like I'm on the set of the IT crowd. This approach seems to be the only technical prowess this company possess.
Three months of crap service no offers of compensation.
Well EE its all coming out on here now and to anyone with the slightest idea of signing up to EE home broadband, DONT DO IT, YOU'LL REGRET IT.
And whilst Im ranting their mobile provision has sucked since this EE merger too. Appauling 3G signal at present, and you want me to take up the limited 4G signal that you have???
'You cannot be serious' to quote J McInrow
We are the largest supplier of 4G? Well lets be relative to the coverage over the uk that you provide. That is only relative description to that of your competitors NOT the concept of idea that your network coverage covers large swathes of the UK. Because it doesnt!!!!!
Good bye EE. With a tear in my eye for the good old concept of great service backed up by a fantastic team of uk customer service staff who would bend overr backwards for their customers Orange.
EE stinks!!

This is the first online review I've ever done. I've felt compelled to express just how bad the EE broadband service is and hopefully save someone else from all the grief I've experienced with EE. I was persuaded to take up the offer of EE broadband and move over from Talk Talk (who themselves are pretty poor). Regretted it ever since. Customer service is possibly the worst out there and the Broadband is very slow (when it's not dropping out). I've had 2 EE engineer visits and an engineer from BT, but still the issue cannot be resolved. After spending literally hours on the phone to EE I'm fed up with calling the call centre to report no internet but today I felt a sense of relief when callling to cancel my contract. After giving my valid reasons for cancelling this appalling service, the impertinent, odious little creep I spoke to actually had the audacity to suggest there would be a 'cancellation charge'! I swiftly corrected him. Moving to Virgin now and can't wait to be rid of EE.

It was ok when I first bought it about a year ago, but now the internet speeds vary a lot
Frequently when trying to watch live TV or movies, we either have buffering or cannot get the programmes at all.
When I called EE they just told me to go online and see what I could find out
Very disappointed

The worst broadband in existence!! I can go for days without the ability to log on. The download speeds... when logged on are so slow that the internet is unusable!!! It is that simple. Complained to EE so many times and yet nothing is done. Oh yes!!...it works great at first, for the cooling off period, and then it drops off week on week until it can't be logged on to or downloads are below 1MbPs. That means that you cannot even get to emails. It is impossible to upload/download email attachments, stream and game.....Impossible. EE IS ONE BIG RIP-OFF JOKE!!!!

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.

Staff and general terms are full of punitive terms. They say you’ll be charged if you cancel early - then you wait weeks/months to cancel and then they take their sweet time to cancel the contract and bill YOU for this time at a higher rate and when they say you’ll get a cheque in 10 days, that’s 10 days from when they process the cheque which could be a week or more. I can only assume their system works on their own broadband - hence why it’s so damn slow. Will never go back

As many other reviewers on here have said, EE broadband is awful. Foe example, if you're trying to watch a music video on youtube it will usually default to lowest available playback quality and even so will usually have to pause two or three times during playback to buffer for an average 4 minute track. Download speeds vary and are inevitably so slow as to be unusable at night, though they will occasionally reach 5Mb/s (according to windows) at random times of day and night, at best. But that is, of course, if you can actually connect in the first place to the box EE give you. Probably 50% of the time it doesn't even appear in your list of available networks (when using wireless, which is the only practical option for me). So there is the game of constantly re-setting the box until it decides to reappear. Some people on here have said EE is like going back to dial-up; I would say EE 'broadband' is worse than dial up - though slow, dial-up was more reliable than this crap. If you're thinking about EE as a broadband provider - don't.

Hi
I ordered EETV full package, in the advert it said you get a free tablet worth £100.00 if you sign up before April the 7th,and you can pay a one off line rental payment to save money, its all rubbish, they then tell you the tables is only if available,so I cancelled, as people have said, customer service leaves a lot to be desired, do not sign up with them

Great speeds so far. Customer service is an absolute joke. They overcharged me by £7.50 per month and then I had to prove that they had done so. I could not email any evidence to them as they cannot accept emails. I had to post this to them. Still waiting to hear back from them. I wish I had read the reviews first.

We had issue with the TV box it overheats and crashes once a week.We then have to reset it which takes 5 minutes . The record does not work as it stops recording after 10 minutes or after the adverts. so the last 5 films we wanted to watch just finished after the first advert.
The internet is rubbish , slow , drops out and inconsistent. I signed up for cheaper Sky sports , they cancelled the deal the same day, all I want is the golf which Now TV don't do.
I thought TalkTalk was bad but I am going to move back and suffer their complete lack of security etc. Do not get EE Broadband or TV box, however my friends tell me EE mobile is good???

was a very good company until BT got their hands on it.
BEWARE if you are considering a fixed price contact with them, their current contract give them the right to increase your by CPI. so much for a " fixed price contract"

One word - BUFFERING. If you enjoy watching that lovely circle turning in the middle of your screen go with EE. Absolute rubbish. Don't do what I did and ignore the reviews to save yourself a couple of quid every month. Stay clear!

Have tried getting a contract out of them for a fortnight now. Have no idea what I have got with them other than an idea from someone at the phone. Have spent an hour to the HelpLine(!!!) to be told then cannot help but that the local EE shop would be able to let me have a copy. They, of course, denied that and put me through to another help line who said they could give me the details over the phone! Still no contract. Came home and tried another number and was again told that a contract could not/would not be sent. Asked to cancel the contract and was told that a cancellation fee would be charged! Haw can they charge a contract cancellation fee when there is no contract? STAY AWAY FROM THEM, they are an internet/phone communication company that does not know how to communicate.

After many line drops and speeds of only 1.9 I decided to upgrade to fibre. EE twice input the order incorrectly, then after several long calls to them, and 51 days after placing the order they said there were now insufficient lines in my distribution box so they couldn't complete the order, and offered a derisory £10 compensation. Promises that my speed had been increased, it is now down to 1.7 Mbps. Been with them since the days of Wanadoo, but it's bye bye. Oh, and don't bother complaining to their retail director (Dierdre Burns), because she doesn't have the decency to reply.

Trying to upgrade to fibre because our best speed is 1.8Mbps. 7 weeks on still not connected, twice they have had the order rejected because they inputted the address incorrectly. Still waiting. Hopeless service, over one and a half hours on the phone so far. I think I will have to cancel it and go to a better provider.

I have been with a few providers from BT to TalkTalk and i thought it could not get any worse with TalkTalk.... i was wrong....
I signed up for a 12 month contract and the engineer took two weeks to arrive and he fitted the line.. and there was a post code mix up or something so my internet did not work for another 2 weeks so it basically took them a month to get me up and running..
First bill they tried to take DOUBLE the amount of money from me.. for the engineer visit. Luckily the money was not in my account.. the internet constantly lags and freezes on me when it did get running.. and whenever i speak to customer service which is based in Mumbai India.. all i get is rude and DELIBERATELY obstructive representatives on the phone doing there very best NOT to solve the problem of my internet being constantly turned off for no apparent reason among the staff that LAUGH down the phone when your trying to make a complaint and hang up on you after putting you on hold for 30 minutes... the service is shocking... Even the service in the UK based areas is terrible even the billing department.. they say we will add compensation for spending hours on the phone being given the run around only for it not to be put on the account and lie to you.. but after hours and i mean hours of trying to find out why the internet is so laggy and trying to make complaints about advisers putting the phone down on you only to get NOWHERE its like talking to a robot on the other end of the phone... trust me every single phone call i have made has been the same... and if you want lots of headaches and your time wasted feel free to join them but let me tell you this EE DONT EVEN HOLD A CANDLE TO TALK TALK AND TALK TALK IS ONE OF THE WORST I HAVE DEALT WITH IN MY WHOLE LIFE.
STAY FAR AWAY.... TERRIBLE!
The only thing i can give them credit for however is compensating me for the issues i have had but its a rough ride getting them to compensate you.. (i just dont back down)

I changed to EE from Sky for my broadband & home phone as they said I would get as good speeds MBA/ sec as receiving with sky and I got a good deal on the pricing with an Amazon voucher after 3 months and paying 12 month line rental upfront.
First problem was never advised by email when I was due to change just lost connection.
The connection speeds are very slow
Landline went off, rang customer services and gave them my number and they said nothing wrong with line and asked me to check the phone was working, after a bit of delving I find they have changed my landline number!!!!!!
Ring back and advised they do this when taking over from sky & talk talk but they can get my number back in 24 hours.
Totally regret moving and am considering trying to cancel contract I've only been with them for 5 days and don't pay my 12 month upfront line rental till my first bill, so hope I can.

I recently switched my FTTC line from Plusnet (with the Plus addon) to EE. EE sent a new router so I decided to try it in place of my Asus AC68U router. The broadband speed improved immediately from about 19MBps to about 23Mbps. But the reliability has gone down. I have had several interruptions, and large downloads sometimes take forever or fail. The WiFi range of the EE router is also not as good as the AC68U.
