EE Broadband Deals (April 2026)

EE broadband offers Full Fibre 100, 300, 500 and 900Mbps on 24-month contracts from around £28/month, using the Openreach FTTP network. As a BT Group brand, EE uses the same infrastructure as BT. A £4/month April 2026 rise applies to new customers. EE's premium plan includes an Apple TV 4K bundle and the Smart Hub Plus router with 4G backup.

EE Broadband Packages and Prices in April 2026

EE is part of BT Group and operates on the same Openreach FTTP and FTTC infrastructure as its parent brand, BT. EE's April 2026 broadband range includes: Fibre (average 36Mbps, FTTC) and Fibre Max (67Mbps FTTC) at the lower end, and Full Fibre 100, 300, 500, and 900Mbps on FTTP. Prices for Full Fibre start from around £28/month (100Mbps), rising to approximately £35 for 300Mbps, £40 for 500Mbps, and £48 for 900Mbps on 24-month contracts. EE raised prices by £4/month in April 2026 for new customers, with existing mid-contract customers facing a £3/month increase. EE broadband is typically priced similarly to BT but differentiates through its mobile brand integration and Apple TV 4K bundle on premium plans.

EE Smart Hub Plus: 4G Backup and Wi-Fi 6

EE's Smart Hub Plus is a Wi-Fi 6-capable router included with Full Fibre plans. It features a built-in 4G SIM that provides automatic backup connectivity via EE's mobile network if the fixed line drops — similar to Vodafone's Pro Broadband 4G backup feature. The 4G backup is particularly valuable for home workers who cannot afford to lose their connection. EE's mobile network is one of the largest in the UK, with 4G coverage across approximately 99% of the UK population, so the backup is highly reliable. EE's app lets customers manage Wi-Fi settings, monitor connected devices, and control parental controls remotely. Whole-home mesh coverage can be enhanced by adding EE Smart Discs.

EE Apple TV Bundle: What's Included

EE's premium broadband plans include an Apple TV 4K box — currently the Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) — at no additional upfront cost. This bundle gives access to Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and Apple Music as subscription services (Apple One bundle), as well as functioning as a standard streaming device for Netflix, Disney+, and other apps. EE bundles Apple TV as a distinctive differentiator against Sky (which offers its own Sky Stream service) and BT (which offers BT Sport/TNT Sports). The Apple TV 4K retails at around £149, making it a meaningful inclusion for households already in the Apple ecosystem. The bundle is typically available on Full Fibre 300 and above tiers.

EE vs BT Broadband: Key Differences

EE and BT use identical Openreach infrastructure, so broadband speeds and reliability are essentially the same. The differences are in branding, bundled extras, and pricing. EE is oriented towards mobile-first customers — those already on EE mobile can access combined billing and multi-product discounts. BT suits customers wanting BT Sport/TNT Sports, the BT Wi-Fi hotspot network, or BT Halo upgrade options. Ofcom's Q3 2025 complaints data placed EE among the higher-complaint providers at 10 complaints per 100,000 customers — the same as Vodafone and TalkTalk, and higher than BT (around 20/100k) or Plusnet (4/100k). If price is the priority over brand loyalty, Plusnet delivers the same Openreach quality at a lower cost.
