Compare EE Broadband Deals

Use the comparison table above to find the right EE broadband deal for your household. We’ve listed every current EE plan with prices, speeds, and full contract costs so you can see exactly what you’d pay. To see which EE packages are available where you live, check what’s available at your postcode.

What broadband packages does EE offer?

EE is BT Group’s flagship broadband brand, built on the Openreach network that covers roughly 99% of UK premises. That’s one of the widest coverage footprints of any provider. EE sells two types of broadband: FTTC (fibre to the cabinet, sometimes called “hybrid fibre”) and FTTP (full fibre to the premises). If you’re unsure what the difference is, our guide explains what full fibre (FTTP) broadband means.

As of April 2026, around 83% of UK homes can access full-fibre broadband, so most readers in urban and suburban areas should be able to get EE’s faster FTTP plans. Availability does vary street by street, though, so always check your postcode before getting your heart set on a specific package.

EE FTTC (hybrid fibre) plans

FTTC broadband runs fibre-optic cable from the exchange to a street cabinet near your home, then uses the existing copper telephone wire for the last stretch. It’s slower and less consistent than full fibre, but it’s available in more locations and perfectly fine for smaller households.

EE’s FTTC plans currently start at £24.99/month on a 24-month contract, with typical download speeds of 36 Mbps, 50 Mbps, or 67 Mbps depending on the plan. The Fibre 67 package is the most popular FTTC option. All FTTC plans come with a speed guarantee of 37 Mbps. Under Ofcom rules, if EE can’t consistently deliver that guaranteed speed, they have 30 days to fix it or you can leave your contract without paying an exit fee.

EE full fibre (FTTP) plans

Full fibre runs fibre-optic cable all the way to your home, which means faster, more reliable speeds and much better upload performance than FTTC. EE currently offers several FTTP tiers, ranging from an entry-level 74 Mbps plan right up to a 1.6 Gbps package.

For context, the UK’s average download speed reached approximately 223 Mbps in 2024, according to Ofcom. EE’s Full Fibre 300 or Full Fibre 500 plans comfortably exceed that national average, while the 74 Mbps and 100 Mbps tiers are solid choices for households that don’t need top-end speeds.

The Busiest Home Bundle at 1.6 Gbps is one of the fastest residential broadband plans available in the UK. It’s designed for very large households with lots of simultaneous users, or anyone with specific high-demand needs like 4K streaming across multiple screens or competitive online gaming. If you’re curious about what speeds actually make a difference for gaming, we’ve got a guide on what broadband speed you need for gaming. For most households, though, 74 Mbps or 300 Mbps will be more than enough.

How much does EE broadband cost?

EE’s broadband prices depend on the plan you choose and any promotions running when you sign up. Prices below are accurate as of April 2026, sourced from deals listed on Switchity, but they’re updated weekly so check the comparison table above for the latest.

Fair warning, EE applies annual price increases each March. On a 24-month contract, that means you’ll likely see two increases before your minimum term ends. Some deals have previously included a “no price rise” guarantee, but this doesn’t apply to all plans, so always check the specific terms before signing up. For tips on managing this, read our guide on how to avoid broadband price increases.

Here’s a snapshot of EE’s broadband-only deals as of 4th April 2026:

All broadband-only plans above are on 24-month contracts with free setup. EE also offers TV bundles starting from £42.99/month, which we cover below. At the time of writing, every plan includes up to £300 in switching credit to help cover early exit fees from your current provider, plus a gift card ranging from £50 to £125 depending on the package.

“EE has become a genuinely competitive broadband option since becoming BT Group’s flagship brand, particularly for households that want gigabit-capable speeds without paying over the odds. That said, the annual March price increases mean the headline monthly price isn’t always what you’ll be paying by year two. When we compare EE deals, we always look at the full contract cost, not just the introductory rate. It makes a bigger difference than most people expect.”

What’s included with EE broadband?

The EE Smart Hub router

Every EE broadband plan comes with a Smart Hub router included. Most plans ship with the Smart Hub Plus, which supports Wi-Fi 6 and handles a large number of connected devices comfortably. Go for the Full Fibre 1.6GB Premium plan and you’ll get the Smart Hub Pro instead, with Wi-Fi 7 support.

Both routers can be managed through the EE app, where you can set up “modes” that prioritise bandwidth for specific activities. Game Mode, Work Mode, and Stream Mode each adjust your connection to suit what you’re doing. If you’re into online gaming, these modes paired with EE’s faster plans make a real difference. Have a look at our broadband deals for gaming for more options.

For larger homes, EE offers optional mesh Wi-Fi extenders (Smart WiFi Plus) to improve coverage across multiple floors or rooms. These are an add-on, not included as standard, so factor in the extra cost if your home needs it. One honest note on Wi-Fi 7: it’s still very new, and most home devices don’t support it yet. The Smart Hub Pro is future-proofed, but don’t expect a noticeable difference over Wi-Fi 6 right now.

EE Digital Home Phone

EE doesn’t provide a traditional copper landline with any of its broadband packages. Instead, you get a “Digital Home Phone” service. Calls are made via a SIM card built into the Smart Hub router, so you can keep a home phone number and make or receive calls with features like call protect and voicemail.

Important: If you rely on a traditional landline for a personal alarm, medical device, or any other service connected to your phone number, check compatibility with EE before switching. Digital Home Phone depends on your broadband connection and mains power, so during a power cut or broadband outage, it won’t work.

EE One, if you’re also an EE mobile customer

EE One is available to customers who have both EE broadband and an eligible EE Pay Monthly mobile plan. The headline benefit is an unlimited data boost for mobile customers paying £10/month or more on their mobile plan. EE estimates this could save you up to £480 over two years compared to buying extra data separately.

It’s a genuine perk if you’re already on EE mobile, but broadband-only customers can’t access it. You don’t need an EE mobile contract to get EE broadband, though.

Entertainment add-ons and bundles

EE offers TV bundles through the EE TV Box, which is built on the Apple TV 4K. You get access to over 70 Freeview channels plus on-demand content from BBC iPlayer, ITVX, and Channel 4. Optional extras include NOW TV memberships (for Sky Sports, Sky Cinema, Sky Atlantic), TNT Sports via discovery+, Netflix, Paramount+, and Apple TV+. For a full breakdown, check our guide on what channels you get with EE TV.

TV bundles start from £42.99/month and go up to £109.99/month for the Full Works package, which includes practically everything. You can also browse our wider broadband and TV deals page to compare bundles from other providers.

A word of advice: bundling TV through EE makes sense if you’d be paying for those streaming services anyway. But if you only use one or two, compare the standalone prices first. You might save more by keeping them separate.

EE broadband pros and cons

Pros

• Gigabit-capable speeds: With downloads up to 1.6 Gbps, EE’s top plan is one of the fastest available to UK homes
• Smart Hub modes: Game Mode, Work Mode, and Stream Mode let you prioritise bandwidth for what matters most
• EE One savings: If you’re an EE mobile customer, the unlimited data boost can save real money
• Inclusive perks: Gift cards up to £125 and up to £300 switching credit on current deals
• Wide coverage: Openreach covers around 99% of UK premises, plus EE operates roughly 150,000 Wi-Fi hotspots across the country
• Customer support: Free 24/7 support via the EE app, or speak to an adviser from 8am to 9pm daily

Cons

• Mid-contract price rises: Annual increases each March mean your monthly bill will climb. On a 24-month contract, expect two rises before your minimum term is up
• Not the cheapest: EE’s pricing is competitive but not always the lowest. Providers like Plusnet (also BT Group, incidentally) can undercut EE on entry-level plans
• Digital Home Phone limitations: Not suitable for households relying on a landline-connected alarm or medical device, and it won’t work during power cuts
• Limited short-term contracts: Most plans default to 24 months. 12-month broadband contracts are available but less prominently listed

How does EE compare to other broadband providers?

If you’re weighing up EE against the competition, here’s a quick, honest comparison with the providers most people are also considering. You can test your current broadband speed to see where you stand before deciding.

EE vs BT: EE is now BT Group’s flagship broadband brand, and both use the same Openreach network. EE has essentially replaced BT as the recommended choice for new customers in the group. If you’re currently with BT, switching to EE should be straightforward. You may need to return your old BT router, but there shouldn’t be any interruption to your service.

EE vs Sky: Sky broadband also runs on Openreach, so the underlying infrastructure is identical. Sky’s plans tend to be competitively priced at the entry level, and its TV integration is more mature if you’re already a Sky TV customer. Where EE pulls ahead is its Smart Hub technology and the EE One mobile bundle.

EE vs Virgin Media: Virgin Media uses its own cable network (not Openreach), covering around 60% of UK homes. Where it’s available, Virgin’s speeds and prices are competitive, but its coverage is narrower than EE’s and upload speeds on Virgin’s cable network are noticeably lower than EE’s full fibre. BT Group (including EE) holds roughly 35-40% of UK fixed broadband subscribers, the largest share of any provider.

How to switch to EE broadband

Thanks to One Touch Switch, moving to EE is simpler than it used to be. EE handles the cancellation with your old provider, so you don’t need to call anyone or have an awkward conversation. One exception: if you have a TV package with your current provider, you’ll need to cancel that bit yourself.

If you’re mid-contract, you’ll typically need to pay an early termination fee to your current provider. EE currently offers up to £300 towards those switching costs for new customers, which is generous. Use Switchity’s early termination fee calculator to estimate what you’d owe before you commit.

Full fibre connections usually need an engineer visit (EE advises this can take up to three hours), while FTTC plans may be self-install. If you’re moving house, give EE three weeks’ notice and they’ll arrange the transfer at no extra charge, even if an engineer visit is required.

Is EE broadband available in my area?

EE uses the Openreach network, which covers approximately 99% of UK premises. Full-fibre availability is expanding quickly, with around 83% of UK homes now able to access FTTP. Use Switchity’s check what’s available at your postcode tool to confirm exactly which EE plans you can get.

EE broadband for people on benefits

EE offers an “EE Basics” social tariff for customers receiving certain means-tested benefits, including Universal Credit, Pension Credit, ESA, JSA, and Income Support. At the time of writing, it’s priced at £12/month on a 30-day rolling contract, giving you speeds up to 25 Mbps, unlimited calls and texts, and 5 GB of mobile data.

To apply, you’ll need your National Insurance Number for an eligibility check, plus a separate credit check. EE reviews eligibility every 12 months. It’s a decent option if you qualify, though compare it against other broadband social tariffs before signing up. Some alternatives offer faster speeds or lower prices, depending on your area.
