Everything you need to know about EE Home Broadband

8 November 2017

Choosing the right broadband package can be baffling, with all manner of mind-boggling things to think about: do you need a superfast fibre-optic connection or will standard broadband do? Will the router clash with your new Beats By Dre speaker? And what on earth is an ADSL, anyway!?

Luckily, EE’s superfast broadband packages are dead easy to understand and a breeze to get set up. And when you consider some of the amazing benefits our packages offer – like extra data each month for your EE mobile, unlimited data usage and free Norton anti-virus software – it’s a total no-brainer.

So whether you’re looking to switch your broadband provider or get a brand new connection, we’re the people you need to speak to. To prove it, we’ve rounded up some of the many reasons you’re better off with EE.

Totally unlimited broadband – no usage caps or download limits
If you’ve ever been stung with a hefty charge for going over your data cap, you know just how easy it is to do. After all, hammering streaming platforms uses a lot of data and life’s way too short to miss that final episode. Well, with EE Home Broadband, you no longer have to decide between your favourite show and running out of data. All our home broadband packages have absolutely no usage caps or download limits – yep, absolutely none! – and we’ll NEVER throttle speeds, even during peak times. So you can use the internet 24/7 without worrying about a single thing.

Get superfast average speeds of 67Mb/s
Streaming countless videos, downloading the latest tunes and blasting armies of aliens – all in day’s work for your family? Then you’ll love EE Broadband. Our Fibre Plus Broadband plan has average speeds of 67Mb/s and is great for heavy-usage households using multiple devices at the same time. Or maybe you’re the kind of person who does little more than check your mail and surf the web occasionally? No worries – just go for our Unlimited Home Broadband and it’ll more than meet your needs.

Boost your EE mobile data – 5GB extra free each month
Already an EE pay monthly or 12-month SIM-only customer? Then you’ll love this. Sign up for Home Broadband from EE and we’ll whack an extra 5GB on top of your monthly mobile data allowance. It’d usually cost you £12.99 a month, and gives you a serious amount of extra data for streaming movies, watching BT Sport listening to Apple Music or simply browsing the web to your heart’s content.

It’s so easy to switch to EE Broadband
Already tied up in a broadband contract you’re not happy with? Don’t fret. If you’re hit with a cancellation fee for quitting another provider, we’ll refund up to £50 to make up for it. It’s dead easy to switch, too – we’ll even tell your old broadband provider and save you making that awkward break-up call*. There’s no need to take time off work for us to set it up, either. Just plug in our superfast fibre router and you’re ready to go. It’ll even fit through most standard letterboxes, so you won’t need to collect it from the Post Office if it arrives while you’re out.

Security and peace of mind – free of charge
Here at EE, we’re aware that surfing the net doesn’t come without risks, and that it’s vital to have protection against the scammers out there in the ether. Luckily, our broadband packages come with a free year’s subscription to Norton Security Premium. You’ll get reliable defence against viruses, spyware and all other kinds of online nasties, as well as your identity, personal information and online transactions safeguarded. It’d usually cost £69.99, and you can use it to protect up to ten different devices around your home at the same time.

Get EE TV
We’re not ones to brag, but we like to think that EE TV is just about the best way of getting your telly fix that’s out there. It’s packed with over 70 channels and all manner of genius features, like the ability to ‘swipe’ shows between your TV and tablet, and an app that turns your smartphone into a remote control. You can also watch up to four channels around the house at the same time, and choose from some of the best Pay TV, including hayu, Sky Sports, a new premiere every day on Sky Cinema, must-see Sky TV including Sky Atlantic and the all-new Sky Kids with NOW TV passes. Passes start from £2.99 extra a month, with no contract.
