Utter trash, avoid at all costs.
None of the technical support that you will get to talk to have any real idea about how Internet infastructure works outside of the general help booklets they receive to help them with the majority of low level issues.
Draconian TMP's leading to horrendous (and I mean utterly moronic) latency spikes, short term dropouts and packet loss to every service imaginable because as stated before - whoever set up their Net Inf in the first place must have been a tool, as in - an actual tool, like a wrench or screwdriver with the most basic of cognitive functions.
If you are in desperate need of a stress enhancement tool, or a reason to really let off some steam - apply today for EE broadband.
If however you are a sane, normal human being - avoid them like the bubonic plague and act like it's the mid 1300's.

Two months without reliable connection. Was told same answer over and over again but no action. Rude customer services staff who cut me off a few times. I would not go with this provider. There is no value for money. Worst mistake of my broadband life. Indeed not all broadband providers are created equal. Run for your sanity.

Do not go to EE unless able to get fibre as the speed is terrible. BT engineering called out to fault find and there was no fault EE set the rate low. Rate reset but two days later guess what rate reduced again. Very polite customer service most of the time although this will not help you get acceptable broadband. Please do not risk EE. Three years with SKY without problems why why did I do this.

Requested move to new address weeks ago. Telephone is working fine but no broadband. I have spent countless hours on hold to ee customer service who will transfer me on average 5 times a call, hang up on my calls routinely and never return calls After promising to do so. Extremely rude customer service. I am still paying for the broadband but have no idea when I will get the service. For some reason no one at ee can tell me what the problem is or when it might get fixed. Waste of money, waste of time. Infuriating! Time to switch I think

The customer service is the worst ever! I went to a EE store to cancel my broadband but I was informed that I can only do it calling EE. I called, spoke with a Peter that refused to identify himself saying he doesn't give his surname on the phone! Ended up cancelling the broadbad but got no document proving that i've done it and was informed I would need to pay 29.60£ disconnection fee! EE is very easy when you want to start a contract but so bad when you want to leave that make you never want to come back!

What a disgraceful company ee really are. After having nothing but issues ee have arranged 5 engineer visits , not once have they showed up - instead you jist sit and wait for nobody. I then moved home and yes you guessed it no boradband went live or phone line on our moving date. 3 weeks later it finally goes live. So i submit a complaint about 5 missed appointments and i wanted compensating. So my complaint is ongoing and after 7 months of lies i got a solicitor to contact them ,they suddenly spring into action, no only joking! They just lied my to solicitor, eventually i get a call offering compensation way off the value im out of pocket. Then today after being told on the phone under no terms would they stop or suspend my service whilst thu resolve there issues with me. Low and behold today my broadband account was ceased. After only speaking to ee every other day and being reassured everything is fine they goe and do this to us.. Ive never known such disgusting customer service in my life. They promise the earth but cant deliver any honestly at all. I am at my wits end with ee. Its just incompetance above and beyond.spent all day being cut off and left on hold. I achieved nothing except speaking to 11 people and getting myself so wound up with there shambolic call centre. Any help would be appreciated .
Im not a violent man but my god id love to scream in their ceo's face and give them a full feeling of they have made me feel. They thus now threaten me with contractual charges for ceasing my service which i never asked to be ceased.

Poor really poor left for a reason, wanted to be polite, but after 6 months of buffering paying £50 for a service they could have given to a customer who showed loyalty £21, errm me thinks no and let's get this out there service charges should not be happening, charging your customers for leaving come on ee your bigger than this or are you, are you that desperate for your customers to stay, maybe don't spend all your money on stupid adverts and focus on customers

EE consistently keeps dropping and loosing wifi connection. I bought a smart tv few months ago and only used it once to watch catch up because it's persistently goes off and looses the programme. I also watched Netflix and it's impossible to watch a movie. After 5pm their download speed drops to almost nothing - they do advertise that they drop download speed but I didn't think it would be this bad ie difficult to watch a YouTube clip.
My router is in my lounge..I loose wifi in my bathroom (8meter away) and loose wifi in my bedroom(15 meter away).. I had to buy another router for upstairs. It ain't the area I love in because all internet providers I've had in the past have been fine in every room. It's basically EE's connection. I've called them a few times but given up as I keep hearing the same answers. Basically I'm stuck with this horrendous service!

Moved houses. Called them up. They said 10 days. However, I kept waiting around and being passed around for 2 months among people who had absolutely no clue what they were doing. Multiple times I was told I would get a call back - didn't happen. When I finally had enough - at the time of writing this review - they said I couldn't cancel because [insert badly explained nonsense]. I have never in my life seen a company treat a customer like this.

After a sales call from EE I agreed to sign up for broadband for 1 year and would pay in full including line rental upfront/ first billing date.
EE sent 2 routers neither worked, they set up 2 accounts and billed me over £395. Then despite me notifying them of the issue that they were billing me again as I cancelled the 2nd contract account of which, i never authorised to be opened. Now I'm still awaiting a refund and they've since taken out more money.!! It's been going on over a month.
I can't seem to get hold of someone with authority who can send me a refund and not just a credit on the ceased account that I don't have access too. Appalling service.

I wish I read those reviews 4 months ago! Got EE broadband in February and here were are not even at the end of June, I’ve called to cancel and I’m not even mad about that cancellation fee. For me to no longer have this broadband, I’ll gladly pay! Working from Home had been hell with this quality broadband and I owe SKY an apology for moving! I never had any issues with SKY but since my phone was with EE, they totally bamboozled me with their deal offers whilst they had me on the phone! Lord, never again! If you ever call a company about one thing and they try to sell you another whilst they got you on, DROP THE CALL

I've had internet at crappy hotels better than this :l They wont even help fix it, they tell you it's your fault and tell you to unplug everything and plug it back in. That isn't going to help their problems. Don't bother with them, it's not worth it.

We have suffered poor or no broadband for months with EE unable to find a fault. They finally agreed yesterday to arrange a BT engineer to test the line (today). He almost immediately found a break and mended it....however even though it is fixed we are still stuck on 1.6mb download speed. Sick to death of the poor service.

Had internet put in at my new home and it's terrible worked for one day then now it's constantly not working or going on and off all the time when it is working it works very slow the slowest wifi I have ever seen and that's no joke! Goes on for 5 mins then cuts off terrible! Arranged to get a bt engineer out for the 13th of this month and that will have been over 3 weeks I will have waited for one ??! What a joke takes 3 weeks for someone to come out and look at your internet discracefull. I have never known anything like it. Terrible service

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

Awful. Cuts out several times an evening, slow to load and am cut off every month due to 'no data' - with service resuming a couple of days later. Contract is up in February and I'll be leaving them.

The internet was fine when it worked and given where we live the speed was just acceptable. However, do not have problem because EE do not care. The speed of my internet downloads dropped to 140KB/s so even email was a problem and many webpages timed out before loading. After 20 minutes waiting to speak to somebody I got through to an Indian call centre. At first they would not accept my problem as the account is in my wife's name and they needed to speak to her even to report a fault. Not a good start. I had all the account details including the password so finally they were prepared to listen to my problem. First, I had all the reasons why it was my equipment and not a fault with their system but after some tests I was told maybe there is a problem but it needs to be passed you to another department and they are very busy so expect a long wait. I had now been on the phone for 40 minutes so I asked would they ring back please which thet agreed to do. After 4 hours no call so my wife phoned after 30 minutes she too was getting nowhere and had been passed to 3 different people all of whom spoke with a very heavy Indian accent that was very difficult to understand especially when coupled to a very poor phone line. She did get them to call us and the line was then better. Finally we got an explanation that EE were doing some upgrades and these could take another 2 weeks as a result the internet speed had been reduced. However, the internet was still working so they were providing a service! The fact that it was so slow and in effect could not be used did not bother them as in the small print they do not guarantee any speed. When asked why people were not told in advance about this I got silence. Needless to say we are now changing provider. If this company spent a fraction of what it spends advertising for new customers on keeping the existing ones happy they would do much better. I have heard EE described as the RyanAir of internet company's not true even RyanAir are not this bad!

Been with EE for 3yrs - needed wifi calling and no mobile reception where we are. 3-5mb download speed, poor, but typical for area. Everything was fine until I got a fault on the line, and again and again and again. The Customer services are very polite but utterly powerless to correct faults. 10+ weeks without phone and internet whilst trying to self isolate. I've had legal threats from organisations I who money too on top of financial stress of not being able to work online or manage any of my financial affairs. EE response - we are not obliged to pay compensation so we won't. EE are not a serious business - just sharks. Super quick to take your money, but no intention to actually provide a service. Ofcom needs to pull its finger out and FORCE these zombie businesses to behave like a serious essential utility provider or put them out of business.

Shocking. Extremely slow speeds and sometimes it grinds to a complete halt. I put up with it as they have a very good unlimited anytime call package that goes with their broadband, but I've had enough now, I'm changing suppliers. Their technical support leaves a lot to be desired. Poor/non-existent communication skills and beware if you are speaking to someone and the clock hits 11pm - the line will automatically go dead. Download speed currently clocking at 0.03Mbps, upload speed of 0.01Mbps and I'm in London. This is the 4th or 5th time this year this has happened. I can't work from home tomorrow now with such slow speeds, have to go to the office. Oh well. Do yourselves a favour and avoid EE broadband at all costs.

The speed of the fire is terrible, I dread to think what normal broadband is like, constantly cuts out for no reason, I have been with sky, talk talk, virgin and EE are by far the worst provider I have ever been with. Id rather go back to dial up, stay away, if your looking for cheap broadband go with talk talk or plus net. Just awful connection and speed.

I have signed up to alerts when there re service problems in my area. The inbox is full with text alerts. Currently there is a major problem and internet is down. The help line on 150 is either not taking calls or hanging up after 15 min of holding.
Overall the reliability of broadband and the achieved speed has been appalling.

Very poor service. First joined EE in March 2016, broadband was slow but we stuck with them. Moved house on 8th October 2016 and put in for the house move. EE stated this wasn't a problem and an engineer would be out on the 1st November to set up a new line. Waited in all day on the 1st nobody turned up. Rang EE and they stated a problem with BT and an engineer no longer needed to come to our property, but the line would be up and running by midnight the following Tuesday and we would also be given the 2 months free that we missed. Tuesday midnight came, no broadband. Called EE again and was given another date for the broadband to go live and that never happened. Finally we was given today's date tuesday 15th November for a BT engineer to come to our property to fit the line (baring in mind, this apparently was no longer necessary) anyway he arrived, expecting to be fixing a faulty line which should have been a 10 minute job when in fact a new line needed fitting due to a home move. So the 10 minute job he expected turned into a 2 hour job. (The BT engineer shown me the job he had been given for our property on his mobile and it was in fact 'a faulty line') he did the job anyway and after a brilliant job managed to get our phone line working, but no broadband. We made a call to EE to request they now make our broadband live since we have a fully working phone line. And they decide to tell us now after 6 weeks that we can't in fact get fibre broadband in our property due to there being no spaces in the green cabinet! Also the 2 month free that we was supposedly getting was infact a lie, as during a home move you dont get billed for the time you are without broadband. Safe to say we terminated our EE contract and are now looking elsewhere for broadband. Massive thank you to Neil from BT open reach though who did a fantastic job and got the line up and running.

Awful customer service and support.
When our phone line was taken over in error either by a mistake by EE or another ISP EE did everything in its power to profit from the situation.
We told EE we were in no contact with other ISPs and that we did not want them to cancel our broadband contract. EE charged us an early cancellation fee anyway.
We asked for a refund on the fee since EE cancelled the contract without our consent. EE told us they would only refund the early cancellation fee if we signed a new longer and more expensive contract.
We offered to take out a contract for the duration of months remaining on the original contract at the same price we were paying before but EE would only amend the price. They would not accept a shorter contract than 24 months.
EE were also effectively holding our phone number ransom unless we signed their new contract since they would offer no support for getting the landline number we had for 25+ years back unless we signed their new 24 month contract.
We cut our losses after spending days on the phone with EE and we ended up having to go to ombudsman to get the early cancellation fee money back.

The broadband speed is the worst I've ever had, early in the morning or late at night you can get 4-8 Mb download, but at peak hours, its just imposible to make it work. They do nothing to fix it.

Shocking customer service! I thought that "have you tried switching it on etc......" was only said on The It Crowd! The bb speed is awful and keeps dropping out. My landline went down and they said that they couldn't check why as their systems were down. Funnily, after threatening to move provider, my landline magically started working. Broadband still down, however. Now can't get through due to high customer demand. It must be a fault at their end!
