EE has upgraded its broadband offerings, leaving competitors like Sky and Virgin Media behind. The company now includes its Smart Hub 7 Plus routers with all broadband packages, featuring WiFi 7 for improved wireless speeds and coverage.
WiFi 7, the latest wireless standard, offers faster speeds up to 46 Gbps, lower latency, and higher capacity than Wi-Fi 6/6E, making it ideal for gaming and high-speed downloads like 4K content. Prices for EE broadband start at £28.99 per month for a 24-month contract, with super-fast 900 Mbps packages available for £39.99.
While EE leads in broadband offerings, not all devices are compatible with WiFi 7, and its range may limit benefits for larger households. EE’s new broadband options cater to gaming and streaming needs, with up to £300 exit fees offered to new customers switching over.
According to Uswitch, EE broadband excels in providing a reliable service, although other providers may offer similar speeds at lower prices. Customers seeking basic internet tasks may find better options with providers like Plusnet, NOW Broadband, or TalkTalk. EE stands out for its customer service and reliability, despite potentially higher costs compared to competitors.
