Compare EE Broadband deals for March

EE Broadband Packages

EE Broadband offers ADSL, and superfast fibre broadband deals with no limit on downloads, on 18-month or 24-month contracts. You can also combine your EE broadband deal with a pay-monthly mobile plan, to receive a cheaper deal on both services.

All EE Broadband deals require customers to have a phone line installed and pay a monthly fee for line rental because the provider offers broadband through the BT Openreach network, as is the case with most broadband providers. Virgin Media is one of the only providers offering standalone broadband without the need for a fixed phone line. The upside is that the cost of line rental is included in the monthly price of each broadband package, so you won’t have to pay an extra fee.

Having a phone line means that you can add a home phone plan to your broadband service. Either choose to pay as you call, a service automatically available with all EE Broadband packages, or add on a home phone plan with inclusive minutes at certain times of the day.

EE Home Broadband deals

EE offers a range of broadband connections with average speeds that sit anywhere between 10Mbps and 900Mbps, so there’s a package for everyone.

EE Broadband is split into four home broadband deals ranging from the slowest speeds to highest. With an increase in speed also comes an increase in price, so it’s important to consider both your broadband requirements and your monthly budget. It’s also important to note that from the 31st March 2024, EE prices will increase by CPI +3.9%.

Below, you’ll find our quick and easy run down of EE broadband deals:

Standard Broadband

EE Broadband’s standard ADSL package offers average download speeds of 10Mbps, making it the slowest Wi-Fi connection available. ADSL is slower than fibre because it uses copper cables which don’t transfer data as quickly as fibre-optic cables. While ADSL is known as standard broadband, fibre broadband is becoming more common as it guarantees quicker speeds and a more reliable connection. That said, standard broadband is apt for a small household, working quite efficiently for one device with low demands.

EE Fibre Broadband deals

EE Fibre broadband offers an FTTC (fibre to the cabinet) connection with entry-level fibre broadband speeds. This plan provides average speeds of 36Mbps, using a combination of copper and fibre-optic cables for a faster, more reliable connection than ADSL. This EE package is suitable for small households, with up to seven devices depending on what you’re using the internet for.

Fibre Plus Broadband

EE Fibre Plus broadband is also an FTTC deal, but is more expensive than its entry-level fibre broadband package, providing faster average speeds of 67Mbps. This package is suitable for large families or communal living as it can support up to 12 devices depending on usage habits.

Fibre Max Broadband

EE Broadband’s Fibre Max package is an FTTP (fibre to the premises) broadband offer, also known as full fibre. EE offers the following Fibre Max plans:

• Fibre Max 100: average speeds of 100Mbps
• Fibre Max 300: average speeds of 300Mbps
• Fibre Max 500: average speeds of 500Mbps
• Full Fibre Max 900: average speeds of 900Mbps

Fibre Max broadband deals are not cheap, but they do offer ultrafast internet, which allows you to stream unlimited content in 4K and is ideal for gamers and film lovers. If you have a big family with lots of devices that require an internet connection, you might also want to consider getting a Fibre Max package. This will mean you won’t ever have to worry about your internet slowing down or stalling when multiple people are connected at once.

EE Mobile Broadband deals

EE Broadband also offers mobile broadband using its 4G and 5G networks, which supply internet wirelessly in the same way it would to your mobile. For this reason, its availability will depend on mobile network coverage where you live. It works similarly to an EE Mobile’s pay-monthly mobile SIM, supplying broadband to the devices of your choice through a dongle or SIM card.

Its 4GEE WiFi is different to home broadband in that it doesn’t need to be installed, as it doesn’t require a fixed line to get you connected. You just need a SIM card, which connects the 4G WiFi router to the provider’s 4G or 5G network, depending on the availability of each where you live and the type of mobile WiFi router you have. There are four EE mobile broadband deals to choose from:

4GEE Home Router

The 4GEE Home Router supplies your home with EE 4G using a mobile SIM, which you can then access on any device, including your mobile phone, PC, laptop, smart TV and consoles. Mobile broadband may be more convenient for many users than home broadband because the 4GEE Wi-Fi Router can be purchased on a flexible 30-day rolling contract.

Mobile broadband is ideal if you want a temporary Wi-Fi connection while you’re waiting for home broadband to be installed or if you’re only staying somewhere temporarily and can’t commit to a 24-month contract. Here are the 4GEE data plans available on one-month or 18-month contracts:

• 100GB (best-selling plan)
• 200GB
• 300GB
• 500GB
• Unlimited data

4GEE Wi-Fi Mini

EE’s 4GEE Wi-Fi mini provides you with 4G internet while you’re on the go and keeps you connected if your data runs out. You can watch TV, play music, game online and stream movies inside and outside of the house.

Also, 4GEE provides an average speed of 31Mbps and you’ll get an additional 5GB of mobile data every month at no extra cost. There are several different data allowances to choose from on one-month or 24-month contracts. These include:

• 4GB
• 10GB (bestselling plan)
• 40GB
• 100GB
• Unlimited data

5GEE Home Router

The 5GEE Home Router provides a 5G broadband connection using EE’s 5G network, delivering an average speed of 150Mbps to those lucky enough to live in an area with 5G coverage

The 5GEE Wi-Fi Router can connect up to 64 devices at once, so you can keep all the family connected within a range of 30 metres. In addition, 5GEE pay-monthly plans offer the following allowances on one-month or 18-months contracts:

• 500GB (bestselling plan)
• 700GB
• Unlimited data

5GEE Wi-Fi

A 5GEE Wi-Fi plan gives you access to EE’s 5G network in selected public areas, which currently includes more than 110 cities and towns across the UK. Choose from a one-month or 24-month contract, with the choice of one of the following data allowances:

• 40GB (bestselling plan)
• 100GB
• Unlimited data

Perks & benefits for EE customers

Norton Antivirus

EE broadband deals come with Norton Security Premium, which offers internet security for up to 10 devices. Norton Antivirus identifies malware, and viruses and protects your devices from email spam, phishing and spyware.

While Norton Virus is included, it’s only free for the first year. This is still a big saving because it usually costs an additional £7.99 a month. Having antivirus protection on your devices is not mandatory, but it is the most efficient way to protect you and your family when using the internet.

EE Broadband with Apple TV

Fibre Max plans include Apple TV 4K, Freeview, and on-demand and catch-up TV free of charge, so you can watch your favourite films and series from any device.

EE offers more TV add-ons for an extra monthly charge. These include BT Sport and Sky channels. As an EE customer, you’ll get a cheaper deal on these TV add-ons than non EE customers.

24/7 customer support

EE’s customer service team is available seven days a week to help customers resolve issues. You can also seek help via the My EE app or by messaging the EE community page, where customers can exchange advice 24 hours a day.

Gaming on the go

EE lets you add mobile gaming with the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for £10 a month. It offers more than 100 games for your phone, tablet, Xbox, or PC.
