What broadband packages can I get from EE broadband?

EE broadband packages are available on 24-month contracts. They’re ‘truly unlimited’, so you can use as much data as you like without worrying about racking up extra charges for excess usage or your speeds being capped at peak times.

Choose standard broadband and you’ll be supplied with EE’s Bright Box router. Meanwhile, all fibre products come with the more powerful Smart Hub, with the exception of the top-of-the-range 1.6Gbps Full Fibre package that includes the Smart Hub Plus

In ascending order of price and speeds, EE’s packages are:

Standard broadband

EE’s ADSL service with average speeds of 10Mbps. Suited for people who live alone or households with two occupants

Fibre 36 Essentials

Entry-level fibre optic broadband with average speeds of 36Mbps. Good for small family homes

Fibre 50 Essentials

Offers average speeds of 50Mbps and typically comes in at a shade over £50 per month.

Fibre 67 Essentials

A little more expensive, but gets you average speeds of 67Mbps. Choose this if you’re in a large family home or shared student accommodation

Full Fibre 150

Not cheap. But with average speeds of 150Mbps, you’re getting a really excellent service. Suits gamers who want a superior online gaming experience, as well as movie buffs who stream in 4K

Full Fibre 500 broadband

EE’s ultrafast service with an average speed of 500Mbps. A top-of-the-range product for the busiest homes, with lots of internet-enabled gadgets and streaming devices and games consoles in multiple rooms

Full Fibre Gigabit

The Gigabit package delivers lightning-fast speeds of 900Mbps straight to your home. With the ability to connect up to 100 devices at the same time, it’s seriously powerful.

Full Fibre 1.6Gbps

EE;s top-of-the-range package offers a whopping 1.6Gbps average speed and is billed as the UK's 'fastest widely available broadband package'.

If you live in an area that can’t get fast fibre connections, EE also has a 4GEE Home Router. It can help bump up your speed to an average of 31Mbps via EE’s 4G network.

EE fibre broadband deals

For a stronger and faster connection than ADSL broadband, EE offers fibre optic deals. There’s a wide range of fibre broadband packages, from entry-level speeds of 36Mbps to superfast and ultrafast connections.

EE also offers full fibre broadband. It’s even faster and more reliable than standard fibre broadband, supplying lightning-fast speeds directly to homes. However, it’s not as widely available – you’ll need to check your postcode with EE to see if you can get it.

EE TV

Available only when you also sign up for EE broadband, EE TV is based on the Apple TV 4K set top box, which offers on-demand content from iPlayer, UK TV, ITV Hub and All 4.

There’s also the option to add TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) and sign up for Netflix, NOW TV and Amazon Prime.

EE broadband set-up

For the vast majority of households, no installation is required when signing up to EE standard broadband or its more widely available fibre packages. You’ll just be able to plug in your router and then it’s good to go.

However, it’s a different story with its Full Fibre packages. These will generally require a visit from an engineer, who will help install an Openreach modem or box.

The exceptions are if previous occupants of your property have had a ‘Fibre to the premises’ (FTTP) service installed in the past, or if you live in a newbuild home that’s already set up for FTTP broadband.

Does EE broadband charge a fee for installation?

Most customers signing up to EE packages can install the service themselves. So, there’s no charge for installation.

However, you’ll need to pay a fee if you require a landline to be installed at your address, or if you’re signing up for a Full Fibre package. This is because EE will send an engineer to your home to set up the equipment.

How long does EE take to install?

In the event you’re installing yourself, you’ll just need to unbox your router and plug it in. You’ll be up and running in a matter of minutes.

In instances where an engineer is required, expect a wait time of between ten and 14 days to book a visit. Once the engineer is present, the job typically takes one to two hours.
