    Hopefully, I can stay online long enough to send this review. Without a doubt, EE broadband is the worst broadband service I've ever had.
    Today I am going to cancel my account but I am building up the resources to phone them - always a nightmare and at my expense both in time and money.
    I have phoned them on several occasions already and a protracted and difficult call ends with no resolution.
    I am prepared to pay more for a better service.
    Currently I can't even do a speed test because I get timed out but I might get 0.7 - 1 mb if I'm lucky. When it works a bit faster, it drops out continually. The range of the router is not what is claimed. The whole service is terrible. I would never recommend them to even my worst enemy!

    Broadband and phone line not activated. I have been on the phone for over two hours most of the time being on hold.
    Ineffective and uninterested consumer service, non existent technical support.
    I asked for a refund as EE did not deliver anything. I was told that my cooling off period was over. Please note that the cooling off period starts when you sign up, I learnt. However it takes approximately 3 weeks before anyone does anything. So you wait for 3 weeks, lose the right to change my mind and got charged in excess of 100 pounds for leaving a service that was not provided. I am taking this further legally. Avoid.

    Terrible terrible terrible
    I finally gave up on EE after 5years of poor service; however even 2 months after an agreed date of changing suppliers i was still being billed.
    I tried to resolve with EE after numerous call but was advised I had been in the wrong for not closing the account appropriately. (me informing them, my new suppliers informing them, two further calls didn't seem to be the enough for them to understand I was leaving.)
    Further to this I have had to deal with unbelievable rude people at the call centre and having my call disconnected as their notes ( no mine) not having the accurate information
    Communication company ..... That's a joke
    I have been left financial out of pocket and frustrated.
    Dreadful service- avoid.........

    worst provider ever, I registered with their cheapest bundle and immediately got the creeps when I received a confirmation with wrong bundle. So I cancelled immediately and within 14 day, EE said all sort of lies as to why they didn't process the cancellation in time, they really tried their hardest to make it hard to cancel, I then contacted Ofcom, am glad I cancelled, god knows what else would have happened

    AVOID, AVOID, AVOID! were were close to three weeks without broadband. Despite being told in the shop that we wouldnt have to do anything and the whole changeover would be seamless. They should not be saying this as they have to rely on a thridparty (BT) to change over the service and if there is a delay there they have no control over this whatsover. I made numerous calls to get our connection expedited without much luck. half of the calls i made the line was so bad i couldn't hear them properly and some of the calls to offshore call centres had trouble understanding and speaking plain enmglish. Now that we are connected the speed is pathetic at times ...cant even listen to the radio via my phone without it constantly being interrupted. connection often drops while watch film/tv. It really is awful. i will be changing to a different supplier as soon as i am able to.

    EE customer service is terrible, once i have paid my bill and my internet should be up and running it never is. So I call up and the phone number keeps on cutting me off. It's very frustrating and I would defiantly not go with EE!! I am also paying for the EE TV and that doesn't work either !! It's terrible as the TV channels don't work and the wifi never comes back on !!! Do not rate EE at all.

    Poor guaranteed speed on Fibre Plus 76MBps just 32MBps...

    Even line Fibre can handle up to 80MBps, EE acknowledged line fault , sent an engineer who said line is faulty and EE customer services ditched job because speed is in limits.

    Traffic is managed all day. Real speeds are 2-4MBps from services (no problems with test servers)
    You wouldn't be able watch TV, Netflix or play games.... That slow.

    EE Customer services attitude: we locked you into contract - Ha Ha Ha, give us your money and get junk in result

    I just cannot use this EE broadband because it is too slow to work. It takes ages to log on, it takes ages to download an email. That's a s far as it goes. Try to download a busy site of a video and there is no chance. What kind of garbage broadband is this!!! I am so sick to death of complaining to there technical department. After 4 months of complaining nothing is better...NOTHING!!!! I got this as a fixed term and fixed price contract for 18 months and they have put the price up!!!! EE is a SCAM!!!!! KEEP AWAY FROM EE!!!!!!!

    I have never left a review before for any company, but EE are so rubbish I have to warn others!

    4 engineer visits to switch over, none of them have a clue and actually the problem got worse after each visit.

    There is only 1 department in the UK to speak to, and that is cancellations.
    Passed pillar to post on every issue, its been over 2 weeks with 0.5mb speed and a very crackly phone line and no TV service.

    Absolutely shocking, also been told I can't cancel until they have had 30 days to try and fix the issue.

    So, looks like I have another 2 weeks of no service before I can leave!


    My advice: pay what you get for.
    I will happily crawl back to Virgin Media and pay 3 times as much. NEVER had a problem with Virgin for the 10 years I was with them.

    At the start, the internet was really good but after a couple of months the internet got really bad..
    The service is unreliable. We were supposed to get our new router today but they havent delivered it yet. Its been nearly a week and they havent done much about it. They said they will give us free add on credits for the time being while waiting but they didnt. They’re all piece of lying bastartrds

    Our speed 0,25 Mbps - contract for 18 months - no possibility to cancel the contract. After time-consuming calls to EE technical support there is always improvement for 3 days so the speed is 3 Mbps, but after 3 days there is 0.25 again.

    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!!!

    Quite literally the worst provider I've ever experienced. Continually drops from the most horrific 'traffic management' (or throttling to me and you). Abysmal customer service - after 9 months of issues, constant complaints and engineers (one of which they charged me for without warning, despite the issue being on their end) I have finally been allowed to terminate the contract early.

    There is no reason on earth why you SHOULD go with this farcical brand. Save yourself a great deal of trouble - buy somewhere else.

    This Broadband is absolutely crap I have ever had. Totally and strongly not recommended to anyone who wants to live long and happy life.

    -disconnects at least few times a day
    -speeds are very low, down and upload forget it.
    -price? is not worth to spend a penny
    -I have never make such a mistake, please warn you DO NOT buy it
    Pluses:
    none

    OMG - what a shambles. Dropping connections constantly. 1st and 2nd line tech support mind bogglingly rigid and clearly no-one has looked at the customer journey from the point of view of a person with normal tolerance levels. Hours on the phone helping support try and avoid sending an engineer. Eventual, predictable referral to second line support on a 'we'll call you back'. Never called back. Luckily I have nice neighbours who let me piggy back on their sky connection - which is lucky because I'd got rid of sky TV in favour of Amazon instant and other internet TV- but obviously that all depends on a competent, decent service. EE is not that at all.

    Awefull, for watching films constantly having to refresh. For online gaming latency so bad could not interact. Customer service repetitive with regards to performance of service. when I wanted to relinquish my contract they said I hadnt complained enough. Calling meant waiting in quees for twenty minutes at a time to finally be told department was closed. On the odd times I got through I would be cut off, allafter an 9 hour day at wor to come home and have to spend two hours on the phone with EE to diagnose problems with service and to relinquish my contract. service is terrible they ar offering a service they cannot deliver. Would not recommend in my wildest dreams.

    Absolutely shocking service. They advertise 1mbps upload speeds and when they turn out to not exist (given the upload is basically non-existant) they say it's not a promise.

    Terrible company, don't sign a contract with them.

    Have never been so frustrated at such poor service. Wifi worked fine for a few weeks and then slowed to 0.3. The customer service staff barely speak english and are rude, slow and unhelpful. I have spent 6 hours on the phone to them and my issue is still not resolved. I would urge anybody thinking about using EE to seriously re-consider. I've never felt the need to write a review online about anything, but EE really are DREADFUL

    I've been with this RUBBISH company for 3 weeks.Youtube keeps freezing and buffering all the time. Internet pages are so slow, my computer is 3 months old. Customer service put me onto an engineer in India who I could hardly understand. He told me I was getting the right speed. I was with AOL before and had no problems. I joined EE because they were.doing a cheap deal, now I know why. They want £116.49 to cancel the contract after I've already paid £132 upfront for the phone line. if you're looking for broadband don't join EE, RUBBISH COMPANY.

    We use our 3g or 4g from mobiles as two routers make no difference, engineer useless, customer services generally poor. Favourite phrase from phone engineer "Is there a wall in the way of where you use the wifi?" "yes" "well there's the issue!" SHOCKING!

    AVOID!!!
    I almost made the mistake of switching to this clueless provider who cannot even get their activation dates or order processing right. Thanks to EE I am now without broadband or phone service. When I contacted them their excuse of a customer service team leader did nothing but aggravate the situation further. I wish I had read their reviews before even thinking of joining them. I have complained to Ofcom and will not be touching these EE jokers with a 10 foot pole!

    DO NOT PURCHASE THIS BROADBAND

    I beg of you whatever you do, DO NOT BUY EE. I went with them despite previous bad reviews but I would not recommend them to my worst enemy.
    I had pretty low speed when I first got it and I could only have one computer using the broadband at any time.
    When I moved house the broadband don't work at all for TWO MONTHS during which EE was more than happy to continue taking my money and they were only prepared to help once I'd cancelled the direct debit.
    I'm now at the end of my contract and they want me to pay £29.69 cancellation fee WTF?! HOW ARE THEY ABLE TO LEGALLY OPERATE?!?!?!

    Again I say DO NOT SIGN UP TO EE

    EE is run by corrupt employees who will lie to the teeth to get you to commit. They claim having own fibre network and don't, they claim speeds which isn't there, they change contract without evidence, they claim things does not exist, then even make false appointments. very bad people indeed.

    ABSOLUTELY FUMING. WARNING to all of you out there who doesn't want to get royally ripped off!!!! EE ARE A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. received my router a month ago and still NO connection. Have called the customer service team numerous times to be given different answers every time. Absolutely no clue. I've now been told my account is locked because of billing issues!! HAHAHA billing issues? I've paid them in excess of £100 because I paid for the line rental in a bulk payment!! What a mistake that was! Another story they have concocted. Received NO internet signal and I'm still being told to pay! Pay for a service I'm not using! I've had so many different conversations between akhmed, sheena, Raheem it doesn't seem to matter anymore what the problem is, all they're concerned about is how to think of a different excuse!! How do we escalate this? It is SO UNJUST. engineers also been called (had to take a day off- THANKS), turns out the line was never active - ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR MONEY!! Don't be fooled, I certainly was. But then why would I be dubious, Kevin Bacon, the great Hollywood actor, is the face of the company after all. they tell you the line is active (after doing a false line test) and it's 100% not. The engineer had to reconnect the line and told me to take it up further with EE as the line is SO weak I wouldn't receive a good connection anyway. I could go on and on about this but until I get a resolution I am not prepared to sit here and say nothing about this terrible terrible excuse of a service.

    DONT USE EE:
    - Took 8 weeks instead of 2 to get the broadband
    - Impossible to talk to someone, take hours before someone pick up the phone and they are useless
    - The broadband keeps on going down
    - Speed change all the time
    - Ping time 300Ms (my phone is faster)

    I've been using broadband in london for the past 10 years and this the worst experience I ever had, used to be with SKY and they were great same with BE THERE in the past.

    Stay away from EE

    Please don't bother yourself using this broadband very poor customer service staffs are full of lies I regret signing for their contract.No signal at all you cannot even use a single phone and you pay them.Not reliable at all.

    RUBBISH!!!

    I was lied to in the store and told after the first 30 days if I wasn't happy I could cancel at any point. This was a lie
    I was lied to in the store they told me they would handle the whole process of taking over my account for phone, TV and Broadband and it wouldn't cost more than the £100 cancelation contribution they offered. This was a lie, They cancelled my phone and broadband and not my TV I have Paid £200 in cancelation fees which I had to arrange myself for the TV, In addition they told me how great the Broadband is and that it would be better than SKY, Another lie we don't even get 1MB with EE and struggle to even look on Facebook on our mobile phones!!
    On top of all of this the customer service has been terrible, I have spoken to a couple of people who are polite and apologetic but most are rude and not helpful in anyway.

    I am afraid I cannot even give a single star for EE services. I am constantly getting less than 0.5mbps on my fibre optic contract for 38mbps. It is shocking! And the staff are most unhelpful..not calling back as promised. My advise is keep away!!!
