Up to six weeks ago I would have rated EE broadband (Up to 38mbs) as 5 star, always reliable and good customer service such that I have renewed contracts several times. In the last six weeks my speed dropped 1Mps per week from 26Mbs to 15Mbs where its now bottomed out out. After checks, tests etc it turns out that EE have altered the line IP profile to just above 15Mbs so in layman's terms this is capping the line and means that I can no longer achieve a speed within the sold range of 16.5Mbs to 42.5 Mbs, ok now this is where customers need to be careful, EE detailed in the small print that at busy times etc the speed may drop and detailed a minimum contracted speed on 11 Mbs, therefore their stance is its within contract. I find it amazing that a company is allowed to cap the speed below that of the range it specified when its nothing to do with a line busy, just an organisation treating customers unfairly. I'd advise anyone to check the minimum guaranteed line speed or you may end up paying for fibre and receiving a speed of normal broad band. -

Spent £400 on a games console, however can't play online... speed is bad and inconsistent drop under 1mb/s download Speed all the time. When I get 3 mb/s it's around 3am but apart from that always bad. I switched from post office to ee. Would rather chop off my toes than stay with EE -

This is the worst broadband I have used or in the UK. The speed is so slow and most times no connection. Customer service cannot do anything to help all they do is to keep on the phone for very long time and be transferring you from one department to another. I have used sky in the past before switching to ee. It was a mistake I've been regretting since I joined ee. I can't wait to finish this rubbish contract and run back to sky.
However, I have written a formal letter to ee that I will stop paying the bills if I don't get the value of what am paying for.... May we end up in the court.
EE broadband the worst you will ever ask for. -

as of now I have had 5 ee routers all keep going faulty, We have just found out the problem!!, I am a ham radio and have got a hf antenna on my roof and according to bt it is my radio that is blowing the routers with rf affecting the routers, because ee only supply cheap routers they are no good for me, ee want me to buy a 3rd party router and they will pay upto £50, but as I have told them if that router goes faulty in 12mth time will you buy another one NO they say ??, I am on a 18mth contract and they will not let me go with out paying them £105 "half of what I owe", it is not my fault if the routers are not up to the job.
I did not have any problems with other suppliers IE sky/talktalk, I think the only way round this is to stop the dd from my bank as the customer services are useless. -

Switched to EE from BT. Although I was happy with BT, it is very expensive. What a mistake! from literally the very moment we switched it all started to go pear shaped. I like to stream films but had to cancel now tv and net flix as it never worked so wasn't worth paying for. Every time I phoned nothing was done. I'd say it was usable 20% of the time. The only thing that was different from bt was the hub of which we had 3 from EE. For the las 3 months of my plan I didn't have to pay as I was so appalled by then and annoyed as I was paying for something I wasn't getting that I told them I'd cancel the direct debit anyway and wouldn't pay another penny. After all if this was electricity or gas I'd be sat in the dark freezing. Switched back to BT and from the moment of switching everything started to work ok again. Moral of the story- you get what you pay for. -

EE has become hopeless recently. I am on 38MBPS fibre contract, but usually get 12 to 15MBPS. For a brief moment last night I got 23MBPS but it didn't last. Gaming is a nightmare - the PS4 drops out, while the smart TV regularly freezes. Can't get anyone to answer the helpline due to 'high demand'. I want to throw my dinner at the TV when Kevin Bacon does his adverts. -

EE have become very poor in all areas that I have been unfortunate enough to bare witness to.
Their internet speed is ok when it works and is fine to stream using Youtube but it intermittently goes down for several hours at a time with no known cause. I expect more than this from my isp! I left talktalk because they were even worse, now EE are slowly sliding down the same route that talktalk did: Too many customers, not enough of the customer's money put into the infrastructure necessary to provide the customers with the reliable experience they expect for the amount of money they are paying.
I left EE's phone network because their pricing structure was designed so that I had to spend at least £15 a month to get usable internet. If you opt for the £10 option, you get 10mb a month (yes, that's right, 10mb in 2017!) of internet for your smartphone. my phone uses that communicating with the fb server once. 10mb is an insult and is the reason you no longer receive any money from me for mobile services. I expect better service than this for the money I am paying and if you won't provide it, I WILL go elsewhere. If you don't have the infrastructure to take on new customers then build new infrastructure or stop taking on new customers. -

I have to say I'm absolutely appalled at your company I was going to leave EE broadband and go to talk talk but you guys persuaded me to stay so I did a terrible mistake on my part I have been without internet now for a month and despite continuous phone calls from myself to you this issue still hasn't been resolved your customer care staff have done nothing but continuously fob me off this is the worst company I've had to deal with and will ensure that my review of your company is put on social media sites and my friends repost it to save someone else having to go through what I have you do not care about your customers only how much money you're getting from them -

I was supposed to have a 4GB max sum plan that I could use abroad, however, they never set me up for abroad roaming so now my phone is set to the wrong time and I can't text, call or use data abroad. It's annoying as I don't even get the he message to confirm i'm in another country. The workers also don't know what the he here talking about. I asked about my plan and they said it wasn't for abroad, yet when I checked it was. I called again and they said it was. They have no idea what they are telling thwir customers and are not fully educated in what they inform. It's devestating. -

So far:
48.5 hours of chasing EE
4 days off work
22 of above hours on phone
Affected my sons birthday waiting in for an engineer that has not turned up that despite confirming it EE didn't book with BT.
Service is intermittent, drop out, latentcy is is no less than 90 but typically between 200-450.
After CUBE engineer (a clueless fob off way of charging you for a defect in your house) They claimed it was a defective router, and that it would take a week, so I buy a decent TP link one and guess what it also doesn't work.
EE finally admitted BT have known the fault exists all along.
Call centre is in Plymouth, the staff are apparently helpful however I was fobbed off for more than 2 weeks of the last 4. But they are still charging me and my EE mobile boost box doesnt work as a result due to lack of reliable broadband. Ive moved 6 times in 5 years and the reoccurring theme of shoddy broadband keeps coming up, but this is by far the worst yet.
Its seriously affecting my ability to trade Iam sick of it. Update whilst typing this another BT engineer, another day to wait and 'monitor' the line. Offered free exit but what does that solve, ill still be connected the the same line and the same box and exchange, and served still by BT openreach who are incompetant morons. -

Terrible, when first installed the connection was poor, I called customer services and they said I should buy a booster. I live in a town so not exactly in the sticks. Ive been having problems again lately and they said they needed to send an engineer out. Failed to show twice, had to wait in half a day both times. Now on hold and have been for 40 mins trying to get through. To put salt in the wound they issued my bill today.
