EE has introduced upgraded broadband services, surpassing offerings from competitors like Sky and Virgin Media. The Smart Hub 7 Plus routers are now included in all EE broadband packages, featuring WiFi 7 for improved wireless speeds and coverage.
WiFi 7, the latest wireless standard, offers faster speeds of up to 46 Gbps, lower latency, and higher capacity compared to Wi-Fi 6/6E. This makes it ideal for activities like gaming and high-speed downloads such as 4K content.
Prices for EE broadband start at £28.99 per month for a 24-month contract, going up to £39.99 for the super-fast 900 Mbps packages. Sky only provides its new WiFi 7 hub with gigabit broadband, while Virgin Media is yet to offer a WiFi 7 router.
EE leads the way among UK internet providers with these advancements. However, not all devices are compatible with WiFi 7, and its range limitations may hinder larger households from fully utilizing its benefits.
EE’s Smart Hub 7 Plus is standard in their broadband packages, catering to gaming and streaming needs for future-proof homes. They also entice customers with up to £300 in exit fees for switching over.
According to Uswitch, EE broadband is praised for its strong, reliable service. While it may not be the most cost-effective option, it stands out for exceptional customer service and reliability, making it a solid choice for those willing to invest slightly more for quality service.
