Despite being a subsidiary of BT and one of the most favoured broadband, telecom and television organisations in the UK - one frequently asked question targets EE's credibility in terms of performance. So is EE broadband actually any good? Let's find out.
EE's mobile network has established itself as a front runner. Mobile customers across the nation opt for EE's services over the likes of O2, Three and Vodafone - three of the longest standing mobile networks in the UK. Broadband is a different entity though. This article will provide a breakdown of everything included in EE's broadband package, whether it's worth the investment, and your final decision on the provider.
Cost
EE's internet service is priced reasonably, it usually costs less than packages from Plusnet, TalkTalk, John Lewis and of course BT, Sky and Virgin Media.
However, prices are always fluctuating, and each provider is known to cough up new deals in order to stay relevant and to compete in the market. We recommend comparing the special offers and deals in your area before making a final decision as you could miss out on a true value for money deal.

Now let's get down to the nitty-gritty.
EE Broadband Review:
Speed
EE broadband gives you the option of three speeds: ADSL with speeds of 10Mb, fibre with average speeds of 36Mb or fibre with average speeds of 67Mb.
Faster speeds are available elsewhere, however - BT's basic fibre offers speeds of 50Mb, while Virgin Media tops that with a whopping 250Mb. These staggering numbers might be enough to lure you away but with EE's speeds, it's more than enough to deal with network traffic and run smoothly day-to-day.
Download limits and traffic
Fortunately, all EE broadband packages come with an unlimited download capability, no caps and definitely no usage clauses.
EE broadband has come a long way from its formative years when it struggles to handle too much network traffic. Now, EE broadband operates smoothly and without strain.
Now let's look at EE TV
EE TV is an option for any broadband package. With EE TV, you get a TV box that gives you access to basic Freeview TV plus a whole host of applications such as YoutTube, Netflix, ITV Hub and BBC Iplayer to name just a few.
Another bonus is that you can view your whole TV system from the EE Tv app on your mobile or tablet for example. This means you can watch your favourite shows while on the train, at the gym or lying in bed.
EE TV's downfall is its lack of premium TV and its limited access to HD channels. If you're a big fan of watching television, you might prefer the likes of Sky or Virgin, heck even BT and TalkTalk offer more channels than EE TvV. Although, if you prefer to have a smart tv and depend on applications to watch all your favourite shows then EE TV might actually be suitable for you.
