BT broadband users might want to switch over to the firm’s EE brand if they want the ultimate download speeds. The telecoms provider, which is famous for its speedy 5G mobile network, is transforming itself into a one-stop-shop for connectivity and, as part of the rebrand, is launching the ultimate broadband.
In fact, EE says that this will be the fastest in the UK with those signing up getting speeds in excess of 1.5Gbps. At that rapid rate, it would take under 30 seconds to download a full HD movie – that’s around 20 times faster than the current UK average.
You’ll obviously need full-fibre (FTTP) in your street to access this service and at £69.99 per month it’s not exactly cheap. If you don’t mind paying that price and have those fancy cables coming through your walls it goes on sale this Friday, October 20.
When joining, EE also says that customers will be able to exclusively unlock market-leading mobile savings. This includes – for the first time – being able to add unlimited data SIMs on flexible 30-day subscriptions from just £10 per month.
Along with being much, much faster, EE is also promising that subscribers will get a boost to their Wi-Fi router thrown in as well. Called the Smart Hub Plus, this device includes clever tech to make sure that all-important Wi-Fi reaches every corner of homes.
Smart Hybrid Connect can also be added which will keep users connected even if the fixed-line broadband goes offline. That’s thanks to the system automatically switching over to EE’s 4G to keep homes connected during outages.
There are also full parental controls, Wi-Fi pause to stop the family streaming and security such as Adavance Web Protection which should keep those browsing sessions safe.
Speaking about the upgrade, Marc Allera, CEO of EE, says: “Today we’re incredibly proud to be launching a new platform for the UK, open to anyone and everyone – that will transform our customers’ experience beyond connectivity.
“We are also evolving the EE brand, while at the same time doubling down on great new connected products, with the launch of the fastest broadband, best value convergence, and exciting new TV services.”
