EE has recently upgraded its broadband offerings, surpassing competitors like Sky and Virgin Media. The company now includes its Smart Hub 7 Plus routers in all broadband packages, featuring WiFi 7 for improved wireless speeds and coverage in homes.
WiFi 7, the latest wireless standard, offers faster speeds up to 46 Gbps, lower latency, and higher capacity compared to Wi-Fi 6/6E. This makes it ideal for activities such as gaming, 4K downloads, and streaming.
Broadband prices with EE start at £28.99 per month for a 24-month contract, going up to £39.99 for super-fast 900 Mbps packages. Sky only offers its new WiFi 7 hub with gigabit broadband packages, while Virgin Media does not yet provide a WiFi 7 router.
Although EE leads in broadband offerings, it’s important to note that not all devices are compatible with WiFi 7, and its range may be limited for larger households.
EE’s new broadband options cater well to gaming and streaming needs, ensuring homes are futureproof. Additionally, EE incentivizes customers to switch to its service by offering up to £300 in exit fees.
Uswitch reviews praise EE broadband for its strong and reliable service. However, for those seeking cost savings or simpler broadband deals, alternative providers like Plusnet, NOW Broadband, or TalkTalk may be more suitable. While EE may be slightly pricier, its reputation for customer service and reliability sets it apart.
