Fibre, explained simply

Why EE only sells Full Fibre

Unlike BT, EE does not sell a copper FTTC tier. When the 2024 relaunch happened, BT Group decided that the EE brand would be a pure Full Fibre brand. If FTTP is not live at your address, you cannot buy EE broadband at all.

The only EE broadband line

EE Full Fibre (FTTP)

A glass fibre cable runs from the Openreach exchange all the way to a small white box on the wall inside your home. Speed does not drop with distance from the cabinet.

  • Speeds from 100 Mbps up to 900 Mbps, close to advertised in the real world.
  • Useful 20 to 110 Mbps upload, comfortable for video calls and cloud back-up.
  • 4G back-up on Fibre 100 to 500, 5G back-up on Fibre 900.
  • Available to ~65% of UK premises and rising weekly.

EE does not sell this

FTTC (part-fibre)

Fibre to the street cabinet, then copper from the cabinet to your home. Slower, drops with distance from the cabinet, and being phased out by 2027.

  • If FTTP is not at your address, look at BT Fibre Essential or Plusnet.
  • Speeds typically 24 to 67 Mbps, capped by your distance from the cabinet.
  • Openreach is migrating the whole network to FTTP by the end of 2027.
  • EE will simply tell you broadband is not available if your line is FTTC-only.

If EE’s checker says Full Fibre is live at your postcode, you can choose any of the four tiers. The Fibre 100 is faster and more stable than any copper line and usually costs the same as a slower FTTC product.

Speed guide

Which EE speed do you actually need?

Marketing always pushes the top tier. Real households rarely need it. Match your use to the right speed and you avoid paying for headroom you never touch.

Your use case Minimum sensible speed Recommended EE tier
Browsing, email, social media 15 Mbps EE Fibre 100 (100 Mbps)
HD streaming on 1 to 2 devices 25 Mbps EE Fibre 100
4K streaming on 1 to 2 devices 50 Mbps EE Fibre 100 or 300
Family of 4, multiple devices, video calls 100 Mbps EE Fibre 300
Heavy gaming and 4K on 4+ devices simultaneously 300 Mbps EE Fibre 500 or 900
Smart home, content creator, work-from-home pro 500 Mbps EE Fibre 900

FAQ

EE broadband questions and answers

Is EE Full Fibre available at my address?

EE broadband runs on the Openreach FTTP network. In May 2026 around 65% of UK premises can order Full Fibre. The fastest way to check is the postcode checker on ee.co.uk. If Full Fibre is not live on your street yet, EE will not sell you a copper FTTC stopgap, you would need to look at BT Fibre Essential or another provider on the older line.

What is the Stay Fast Guarantee?

EE inherits the Stay Fast Guarantee from BT. EE promises a guaranteed minimum speed in your contract. If your speed drops below it and EE cannot fix the issue in 30 days, you can leave penalty-free or claim a bill credit. On the Fibre 500 and Fibre 900 plans, the bundled 5G back-up kicks in automatically if the line fault lasts.

Is the Smart Hub Plus router good?

Yes. Smart Hub Plus supports Wi-Fi 6 dual-band, four LAN ports and band steering. It is a generation newer than BT’s Smart Hub 2 (which uses Wi-Fi 5). For thick-walled homes EE also sells Wi-Fi Boosters (mesh) as an optional add-on. Independent reviews put Smart Hub Plus among the strongest UK ISP routers for stock coverage.

How long does EE broadband installation take?

For an Openreach line that already exists at your address, the activation is typically a self-install in 5 to 10 working days. For brand-new FTTP installs that need an engineer to pull fibre to the property, expect 2 to 4 weeks. EE books the appointment and you only need to be in for the engineer slot, which is usually a four-hour window.

Can I get EE broadband without an EE mobile contract?

Yes. EE broadband is sold standalone. However, EE actively pushes the EE Together bundle: combine an EE mobile and EE broadband contract on the same account and you unlock bundle discounts and bonus mobile data. That is the main commercial pitch of the relaunched EE brand.
