    Changed over to ee as wanted a cheaper broadband (mine had gone up £20!) I mentioned it while in a recent shop and the man told me I could get a good deal because my phone was with ee.
    Worst internet I have had. Constantly loading, move away from the router and it’s easier for me to use my phone on data and actually turn the wi-fi off.
    Would not recommend at all

    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.

    If I could give negative stars, I would.

    Being with EE is like pulling teeth. It's like a full time job except you have to pay them. In short - it's excruciating.

    Speed is atrocious. Router drops connection at almost the exact same time every day. Sometimes it stays down for days. Customer support says nothing is wrong. Well, they're wrong.

    Of course, they're more than happy to keep taking our money, even though they provide no service whatsoever, other than an obnoxious flashing yellow light.

    If I could eradicate one thing from this earth, it would be EE. They are toxic. Do yourself a favour and avoid them. Avoid a lifetime of hardship and stress. It just isn't worth it.

    I thought Post Office was bad but EE's taken it to the next mile of bad.
    With Post Office, the internet would be inconsistent but EE it stays on apart from when it restarts but I've noticed my room is a Wifi Blackspot so a couple of weeks ago restarted toe router to try to eradicate the blackspot. Unless Argos and YouTube were down simultaneously, my room has just today returned to being a Wifi Blackspot. At least whenever the Post Office wifi was working, it would work in my room but I've had a blackspot in my room occur after the 14 day period. The first time i restarted it fixed. i thought this happened again when i was on discord and messages weren't reading, turns out the channel i was on got deleted. today youtube would buffer and argos wasn't refreshing so i had to turn off my ipad wifi and was like Oh bother, here we go with my room now being officially classed as a wifi blackspot again.

    We’ve been waiting for the broadband to be connected since the end of August. After numerous calls, engineer appointments that never happened, it was raised to the head office after an official complaint was sent to EE. I had a call back today (7th week since we ordered it) to be told that this order is not going through because it got stuck SOMEWHERE and needs to be cancelled and that the new order will be placed today, HOPEFULLY connected in 2 weeks.. Team on the phone is well trained to sound nice, just about it. I wish I came across these reviews before..

    I can't give a star rating for broadband speed and reliability as I didn't get that far.
    Promised that they would try to get me fibre and would call me if there was a problem.
    No call, cancelled my current service and I've had to use mobile data to get internet.
    No apology or acceptance or responsibility for leaving me with no broadband despite complaints. Avoid at all costs.

    Simply the best provider I've used; I only get 30Mbs at my address, but that was enough for 3 people to hammer it throughout the lockdown. It has never crashed once

    They’ll set up a broadband appointment with you two weeks in advance at the earliest, you’ll take off work to be home for the setup, then they will no-call/no-show, then they won’t do anything to fix it besides call the next day with another list of appointments you will have to take even more work off for :)

    I think most of the clowns on here live in a parallel universe!
    I have nothing but praise for EE. My broadband has always been fine but the customer service is such that if I did encounter an issue and let's face it s..t happens then I'm confident that it would be sorted in a timely manner.
    All I can say is that if you speak to people in a courteous manner then you'll get a better response than if you go off on one.
    Ring any bells ????

    Shit, frankly. The router can't be bothered to stay connected and our upload speed is 0.4mbps (lmfao). Avoid.

    Comments:

    Been with EE for over 3 years for internet, I started on a basic £17pm package on an 18 month contract. My speeds were/are abysmal, topping out at 15mbps on a good day but this was manageable. Once my contract was up, I started to pay £22pm on a rolling contract (OK, I guess new customer deals not applicable for me anymore) that's fine. Forward to January 2020, without informing me at all, my monthly price had shot up to £32pm.... For 10mbps! The problem with this is not only am I paying fibre optic prices for low speeds, but they didn't even tell me. Currently, its July 2020 and I have over £100 of debt on my account! I explained it to them but they seemed disinterested. I set up a payment plan to clear the balance. However, immediately after getting off the phone to them, I realised my speeds had been restricted to less than 1mbps (pretty much unusable) I called them up to discuss this and they said there was nothing they could do. Believe me when I say: Never trust this provider. They will over charge, increase bills without telling you and restrict your already weak Internet service. I don't know how they continue to get customers with this business model. Absolutely the worst ISP I've ever had contact with, avoid at all costs. They will rip you off, especially once you are a loyal customer. I'm pretty disgusted with them and I'm writing this on as many review websites as possible so more people are aware of their scams. Beware!

    Probably the worst isp in the history of humanity.

    They will take your money, sell your details on to third parties, and in return... nothing. You want to connect to the internet? Tough. This is EE, an internet service provider that does not provide internet service. Just a stupid box with a flashing yellow light. How this is legal I do not know...

    Connection just drops randomly, usually at night when we need to use it most. EE of course say there's absolutely nothing wrong, sometimes they'll send us a new router which doesn't help, because the problem is obviously on their end.

    I honestly cannot comprehend the stupidity of these people, though it feels more like malice at this point.

    If you are reading this, AVOID EE!!

    I repeat - AVOID EE!

    They are the worst isp in the entire world. I'm barely 25, yet I'm already turning grey because these people are stressing me out so much. Daylight robbery. These people are nothing short of criminals.

    To summarise: EE are the worst isp in the world. Avoid them like the plague.

    We were promised a smooth change over by EE. It did not go to plan. They blamed Open Reach for the problem. When I spoke to 4 different customer service reps about their promise, I was either brushed off or spoken to very rudely. If you are thinking of going with EE dont bother. I literally just received a text from them to say they will provide an uodate in 5 days time, no need to call them! Really disgusting.

    Absolutely terrible. When you test the broadspeed, the readings are usually quite good, but they are not backed up by the actual experience.
    The connections drop randomly and stop in the middle of something. Some websites simply become unaccessible for a few seconds to a few mins and then reconnect. Totally unreliable. Really regreted signing with EE for broadband.

    Only had this broadband provider for about 2 weeks but I have had good experiences with them so far! We chose them because they kept on calling us about switching to them and persuading us. We initially said that we’d wait around until September to decide whether we would stay with Post Office or move to EE, but because Post Office has been intermittent and lockdown and everything, along with the inability to play Roblox properly, we made the decision to switch in June and not in September.

    I like that it’s faster, much more faster than PO who I’ve had to use for years.
    Minimal drops of connection occurred from the broadband end. Only two so far from the router’s end and they happened on the first day (it was the first day so it’s understandable)!
    It does drop a little bit in some apps but I just close them out of the app switcher and open them up again and it works fine! Might be the iPad but I do not know.

    Not intermittent yet but it’s still early days. I would recommend this lot for your broadband but I wouldn’t recommend Post Office! I’m glad that mum chose this broadband!
