Who is EE?
EE Limited launched in 2012 as the merger of Orange UK and T-Mobile UK, originally branded Everything Everywhere. The new operator was first to launch 4G in the UK that same year. BT Group acquired EE in 2016 for £12.5 billion and has gradually expanded the brand beyond mobile.
In 2024, BT Group repositioned EE as its premium converged consumer brand, covering mobile, broadband and TV. BT’s old consumer TV product (BT TV) was replaced by EE TV, built around an Apple TV 4K box, and the EE broadband range was expanded with Full Fibre 100, 300, 500 and 900 tiers. The BT consumer brand still exists in parallel, but new mass-market sign-ups are now routed primarily to EE.
EE shares the same Openreach physical lines and the same regulator as the rest of the UK market: Ofcom for telecoms rules, and the CISAS alternative dispute resolution scheme for unresolved complaints.
