EE Home Broadband Reviews

At the suggestion of one of their call center employees, I changed from copper to fiber-optic , not knowing you needed to change the router (the employee didn't tell me). When the system went down as they had changed the system I called the tech people in India, who were very good and promised to order a new router, which of course never arrived.
I phoned 5 different call center people over a period of a month asking for a router, it never arrived. On the sixth time I spoke to a lady who reviewed the account and exclaimed that the situation was rubbish, and understood why I was moving to BT.
BT told me when the router was arriving, and when I was going live, both exactly to the date.
To add insult to injury Orange have now taken a month's rental from my bank account even though I've not had broadband from them for nearly 3 months. I've now phoned their center in Dublin twice to get my money back but so far failed at the first hurdle.
Wouldn't touch this lot with a barge pole.

Its very crap! The internet is always down and when it's up and it's so slow I might aswell not even use it! So annoyed!!!

okay if you never need to use customer service...
broadband worked well but would be throttled at timees.

i had an issue and called the customer service which was based in india. only wanted to make a minor change and they were utterly incompetent. Sending from department to department and then in the end saying the classic "our systems are down can you call back"

with so many other companies out there i've decided to just cancel my broadband with EE for one with actual customer service.

I would like to say how disappointed I am with EE.
I have reported faults several times and kept getting fobbed off. On my third call an engineer was booked. I received a text confirmation almost immediately. I was not surprised no one turned up.
You sent me a text survey in which I slated your help desk. You did not respond to it.
As a result I have switched providers.
True to form you have not been in touch once since, you have even cancelled my broadband 3 days before the new one starts!
Rest assured my grievances will be posted on any public media site I can find and will be advising as many people as possible to stay clear of EE.

No signal no signal no signal! That's all I get, I'm so fed up with ee. Other networks get a signal at my work place and my home. Unless your with ee than you get nothing. And I get nowhere speaking to them. One star is to good for them. My advice is stay away from ee!!

I tried to sign up to a 12 month mobile deal with EE, however after spending ages filling in the info I was declined for no apparent reason, despite having lived at the same address for 26 years and having good credit and all my details matching up. No problem though, as they declined my business I went with a competitor network.
However, depite EE turning down my application EE continued to run security checks on my bank account and took £2 out of my account which was supposed to have been refunded in days but over a week later still wasnt.
I also received email confirmation thanking me to signing up with EE despite the fact that I hadnt sucessfully signed up so had to ring up their customer service number to check it had not gone though (25p+your normal rate per min unless youre on EE and ring a specific number and obviusly I was not on EE since they declined my application).
The agent confirmed my order had not gone through.
However, the £2 was never refunded, I went in store and they told me to ring up. I was reluctant to spent 25+p per min on what I suspected would be at least a 15 min on hold phonecall as it would cost more to get the £2 back than it was worth. I therefore went to file a complaint uising the form online...but wait! After you fill int he complaint form and hit submit the site just brings to you a blank page Every.Single.Time without fail. So it's coded to NOT allow you to actually submit your complaint. I bet they will soon be boasting about how they get zero complaints on their site....because customers are prevented from submitting them.
Can't get into 'live chat' to speak to someone online because you have to already have an EE account, which I have never had and now never wish to have.
So I thought well I'll try via their ceo email since they have no customer service email I found it posted online.......no response.Emailed 4 times.
Tried their twitter 'help team' I sent them well over 20 tweets at different times of the day over a week, one after the other to try and bring attention to the fact that my issue was not resolved. Could not pm them as they have to 'follow' you. They continued tweeting back to answer praise from other users who had posted to them way after I had but ignored me...EVERY.Single.Time.
So, I never did get my £2 back, and chances are they will continue to try to charge me for a contract that I don't have. It's already cost me a fortune in phonecalls to make sure they hadnt put my order through anyway, their communication and actions were misleading and left me confused as to whether or not it was active, and as I understand it I was definitely declined upon application, it was right there in front of me, and I was never sent the sim card for the plan. So there is absolutely NO reason to take money out of my account for an unsucessful order for a service that I am not getting and was rejected on their end.
Just think, if 10,000 customers place online orders over a few days, EE takes £2 from every single one of those and 'forgets' or 'fails' to refund the £2. They could make a profit just doing that alone. And you can't complain about it because they make sure the complaint form does not work, and if you want to phone up to complain you need to pay between 25-50p per minute plus.
Also, beware of this 6 month 'free' sky sports package, which will continue charging you after the 6 months without warning or notice even if you do not use it and have never asked for it. Disgraceful company with shady practices. I strongly urge you to consider all this before signing up with them because, should you run into a problem, even if by no fault of your own, chances are it's not going to be easily or promptly resolved by them and could well cost you a small fortune.

Have been with Wanadoo/Orange/EE for 23 years but due to their inflexibility and customer satisfaction have cancelled my service. All I wished to do was move house and take my existing broadband arrangement with me but they will not allow me to. Totally dissatisfied. Broadband speed at best has been 764kps.

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.

I am finally free of the worst broadband service which I have been trapped in for a year. Everyday I have had some issue such as no service or at other times watching the waiting icon circling endless. Simply don't sign up to EE. Worst customer service from a bunch of lying/couldn't give a damn staff and frankly EE have stolen my money for a year with no accountability of actually providing the service they claim they will give you. In the end I gave up customer services as who wants to talk to a muppet on a daily basis. Run away and use Talk Talk, BT or Sky where I have never had hardly any issues!!!

4G Home Broadband box arrived today. Rural location - was getting about 1.2Mbps over BT line (no other operators in our exchange). Now getting 14Mbps down and 3Mbps up. Well chuffed!

Absolute garbage. Can't even watch internet TV channels.

Recently joined EE home broadband. The speed is more than what I was told but the Internet on devices work really really slow. Worst purchase ever in my life !

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.

Being in a rural location and not being able to get decent broadband due to the government's slow progress, despite all their promises and claims coupled with the corrupt BT OpenReach monopoly we opted for a 4G home router from EE. What a terrible mistake - speeds were slightly improved from the BT copper wire that we suffer but for the last 2 months has slowed down for no reason to a point that it's unusable. As mentioned by others you get the dumb questions and the "can you restart the router'. Why do these companies employ monkeys on their support desks that seem to know less that the average user these days. Awful service, awful broadband - just simply awful. Avoid EE at all costs. EE were awful before they became part of BT but now they're part of possibly the worst corporation on the planet there's no hope.

Good at the moment to make you sign for a new contract or tell you how many star they want you to give them .. Bad at giving what you are paying for.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. YOU CAN NEVER GET THROUGH AND WHEN YOU DO THEY PUT THE PHONE DOWN.

EE is complete crap at first I was getting 38mb/s which was what I was promised but after about 2 months I'm getting 17mb/s eventhough it says that I can't get onto Google/YouTube/Facebook never use EE it's the biggest lying piece of crap company to ever be created and I'm a gamer and I can't do anything because EE are a bunch of retards who just want money

One of the worst broadband ever .very slow and keeps on disconnecting most of the time . It's a clear con .

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!

Can't wait for my contract to expire. Trying tp post this review while my so called "fibre optic" internet connection has been down for days now.
