    Constant problems with speed , really slow. Sometimes the WiFi doesn’t work for a full day which is really annoying & it came to a point where everybody in the house was just using their mobile data.

    Possibly the worst service provider out there these days. Was with BT (second worst) for 4 years was upgraded 2 weeks ago to the EE package which includes the Hybrid connect supposed to keep you connected to the mobile network even when the broadband is down. Long story short broadband has been down for 7 days straight and the Hybrid cannot connect to the mobile network, flashing red lights all along. Called support about 10 times in the last 7 days nobody has been able to help, they have also sent another Hybrid connect, same issue, EE literally has no signal... I have already changed provider and waiting for new installation but my advice to all is STEER CLEAR OF EE.

    Do not get involved with EE or Orange, not only is their customer service dreadful, the whole company ethos seems to be about trickery and broken promises rather than providing a service worth paying for, save yourself a lot of trouble and go somewhere else.

    It has come as a real shock that broadband can be as slow as this with no customer care support and no interest from EE at all once you have been duped into signing the contract. I would give no points or even minus points if I could it is that bad!

    Gangsters, mis sold product,terrible customer service, rude and misinformed. Cant even believe they can get away with their conduct. They are the most complained about service for a reason.They lock you into a contract telling lies and then when you want to look into anything or have an issue your put on hold for up to an hour and a half. This issue has been ongoing for weeks and out of about 20 people I have spoken too none knew what was going on and most were rude and kept transferring me onto someone else.Actually in shock that they are a big legitimate company. Constant lies and incompetence

    EE are absolutely awful, I wish I had searched online to read the other terrible reviews before signing up with them. I signed up at the beginning of September 2014 and as of today in January 2015 4 MONTHS LATER I STILL HAVE NO INTERNET OR PHONE CONNECTION. I have been patient but have finally snapped when the rude woman at the Indian Call Centre said I would have to pay for the engineer to come out since according to their system everything was fine. I pointed out that it was EE who were responsible for setting up the phone/internet line in the first place on the engineer's first visit, and that I have not done anything to it since, I didn't see why I should have to pay. She insisted their computer system said it was working and that it was my fault. Everyone please do not waste your time or money with this company.

    Engineer sent to wrong address
    5 weeks to get a connection and 42 phonecalls
    Damage done to business
    They never have any clue what the issues are with the service
    Takes a day to upload 5 minute video
    Engineers do not show up
    Call centre is AWFUL
    Despite having no service call centre informs me they will charge me hundreds of pounds to leave and they can leave me without a service for up to a month before I can break the contract
    Awful company - the worst
    I pay over £80 a month for the pleasure
    Still sending DPA and personal information to my old address

    EE is the worst company I've ever come a cross. The customer service is disgraceful I can get more sense out of my 7 year old son then them. The whole price plan had been mixed up and had to call them 6 times explaining the same thing as the overcharged me for service that was supposed to be free. Every person I spoke to was worst then the last one. Thank god I left during the 14 day cooling off period as I had to be on the phone up to 4 times a day with them to sort out all their issues. One customer service assistant told me I shouldn't leave them as I just get the same service for more money from any other company.....what a cheek!!! Avoid avoid avoid!!!!

    Always when I try to call customer service I wait for 20-30 minutes on the line until I get through. The representative promised to call me back 2 hours later but he didn't so I had to call them again and wait on the line for another 30 minutes. This looks like a standard way of trying to get through. Frustrating.

    I called EE twice this month asking whether I can move my broadband onto my housemate by calling them. They told me twice it was an easy quick process. I called them today and they said I had to send them a formal letter !!! I canceled my contract completely. Never again.

    Dont use them if you want to move house. Go for virgin or sky as EE moving process is rubbish in my experience.I work full time and am used to getting calls from delivery companies before they deliver so i can go home and not have to take the day off. Sadly EE cant offer this service as they are unable to talk to the engineers. So tomorrow i have to wait in for the enginner from 8-1.

    Do EE bother to read reviews about their broadband? I have never experienced such an appalling service and even worse broadband. I cannot believe that a company this ridiculously bad is actually still in business. I would not even rate this one star, there has been nothing that I was happy with. Firstly, the people at the call centre have a tendency to just drop calls after they are bored with their customers!! They would promise to call back and just never do!They also have little to no knowledge of any technology. I feel like I have wasted my money and thrown it away into this useless garbage we call EE broadband. I would never recommend this to anybody. Sort your customer service out, sort your broadband out, your speeds, in whole the whole company.

    This company is a nightmare to deal with. Avoid at all cost. I had to abandon /cancell ordering after experiencing major problems.EE were unable or unwilling to email confirmation after five days to what I had agreed on telephone but attempted to set up a direct debit on my bank account!! 4 hours of calls, some to their premium rate number customer support in order to resolve and terminate deal. At all stages the majority of their staff were ignorant, incompetent and abusive. Most probably surly teenagers in a call centre job they dislike and abuse customers for sport.
    A stressful, costly and unnecessary experience. EE claimed that I failed a credit check and indicated that they would not provide a service but attempted to debit my bank account anyway.(I have never been in debt and I pay directly for products and services in full.)I think their call centre staff cannot be trusted with customers details. AVOID

    OK guys, I've been putting up with this service for 4 years. I'm done!!! It is totally unreliable. There are days in which is fine. There are days in which it drops the connection 20-30 times (for like a couple of minutes but it obviously messes up any gaming/tv watching) AND there are days in which it drops for hours.
    *They sent me a new router. Still bad.
    *They told me to unscrew my socket and plug the connection to the test wall socket. Still bad.
    *They finally managed to convince me to accept an engineer visit to replace the socket. Guess what, he came today at 8.00. The socket has been replaced ... the connection has dropped so far 9 times in two hours afterwards lol
    This company provides an atrocious srevice, Stay away!!!

    DO NOT PURCHASE THIS BROADBAND

    I beg of you whatever you do, DO NOT BUY EE. I went with them despite previous bad reviews but I would not recommend them to my worst enemy.
    I had pretty low speed when I first got it and I could only have one computer using the broadband at any time.
    When I moved house the broadband don't work at all for TWO MONTHS during which EE was more than happy to continue taking my money and they were only prepared to help once I'd cancelled the direct debit.
    I'm now at the end of my contract and they want me to pay £29.69 cancellation fee WTF?! HOW ARE THEY ABLE TO LEGALLY OPERATE?!?!?!

    Again I say DO NOT SIGN UP TO EE

    Terrible customer service, useless assistance, broadband not working and unreliable engineers.
    EE take care of you the first year then, when you start to pay the full price they just don't care anymore. I have been a customer for 4 years and when I have decided to switch to another provider they charged me 2 months worth of bills even if the usage was 0 because the broadband was not working and they didn't care to send an engineer. 3 times I had to stay home from work waiting for the engineer and 3 times they didn't show up.
    Useless, absolutely useless.

    DO NOT GO NEAR EE BROADBAND!! I would It is appalling!! Crawling pace download speeds and utterly inept customer service. Frequently it is down. Dial-up speed downloads and uploads are impossible. Reviews here are correct, it is around the 1Mb/s internet speed. Laughable!!

    After having trouble with other companies want to share my experience on EE broadband. I have been their customer for around 4 years and have never experienced any problems. Speed was great, customer support was quick and friendly, prices were efficient. Would definitely recommend them.

    When it works it's fine it a little slow but when it goes wrong you are in deep trouble. The worst customer service ever.
    People hanging up on you, consistent lies, poor compensation for loss of service.
    You get a different story every time you call - it will be up again tomorrow, it's being fixed now, they've only just looked at..

    When it's works it's good but when it goes wrong exist stress, being left on hold, people hanging up on you and lots of lies. Both times it's gone down its been for a fortnight.

    Never turn up on the day, keep putting there prices up through out you contract give you a good start price but at the end it’s cost you more go with someone that doesn’t keep putting there price up, when they put the price up they don’t give you the chance to opt out you have to stay to the end and pay more use a better provider

    In a simple language I should say they are worst . As my wife had ee mobile contract we opted for it. I have applied online for ee broadband on 22nd feb 2014 as I have given notice to sky I got the router delivered advising me that their service will be starting for 11th march I had an email come through saying my broadband will be up and running from 11th with user name and password. On 11 th there was no broadband I called customer service who are offshore and they they had a problem and will be rectified in 24 hrs. Next day same problem again I called them they said they are escalating to high level which will be sorted in 24 hrs. Nothing happened I called them next day they kept repeating the same and at times disconnecting after seeing my no being displayed. It continued till 15 the march nothing was resolved and I didn't had broadband so I have to cancel it.
    Worst experience. Never would recommend to any of my friends . Very poor customer service but to my surprise cancellations team was good

    Switched from talk talk to ee as they were offering a slightly better deal.
    initially broadband speed was on a par with what i was getting with talk talk.
    However, a couple of months down the line my speed is down to a snails pace.
    1.15mb download and a pitiful 0.12mb upload.
    Never been in the best area for speed but that's approx 4 times slower than I had previously.
    It's also pretty obvious they're throttling bandwidth p2p also just to make matters worse.
    awful. Can't wait until my contract is up now. Only 10 months to go...

    Almost given up trying to get improvement. Customer service are helpful, they try to resolve issues but it never really gets fixed. Painfully slow loading websites. YouTube just circle and circle for several minutes before playing if I'm lucky. Freeserve, wanadoo, orange were always great, since changing to EE is been hell. Feels more like dial up modem of old. Haven't changed to better cheaper package like I was offered recently to do, but don't want to be tied to contract. Just unsure where to go next. No idea who's providing a good service. I'll wait and see if they send engineer over to check for issues, if they don't, I'll try elsewhere.

    Oh dear..I have literally cried my eyes out last night and this evening due to poor connection to my new wireless dongle. I had been with 02 where my dad was paying monthly but decided I should go with EE so got a deal which included the phone too, no issues there. My laptop has taken a beating from my rages of frustration as when there are lights on the dongle there is still NO CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET and it isn't even shown on the list of other wireless in my area. Customer service on the phone did apologise and say Seghill has 'poor service' but I need internet every day for my pointless 5 hours of jobsearching as cannot afford to go to the locla library by bus every day! 02 were actually better and faster than EE and I hope I don't break my laptop in the process but when it doesn't connect even with green lights on it does p*** me off big time as I don't like paying money for unreliable stuff! Hope nobody else has similar issues. Could just be the area I live in. Sigh.

    It's the worst possible mistake to switch to EE broadband. Bad customer service and horrible stability (my house is just 5 meters away from the exchange). Used Sky before, no problem at all.

    STAY AWAY from EE broadband!

    Plusnet & Talktalk can place a cap to prevent use of premium rate numbers or overspending on your calls, which is useful if numbers can be accidentally dallied by kids etc, but EE provide no equivalent.
