EE speed test

Measure your real EE broadband speed, then see how it compares nationally, and what other providers could deliver at your address.

Your postcode is used to compare speeds in your area. We store the postcode district, not your address.

Could you get faster broadband than EE?

Speeds depend on your street, not just your provider. Enter your postcode to see every provider and speed available at your address.

What speed should I get with EE?

EE broadband (now the consumer flagship brand of the BT group) runs over the Openreach network: Fibre (FTTC) packages around 36 to 67 Mbps and Full Fibre from roughly 74 Mbps up to 1.6 Gbps on the newest packages, where FTTP has reached your address. As with all Openreach providers, the technology at your address is the main factor in your real-world speed.

Why is my EE broadband slow?

Run a wired test or stand next to the Smart Hub, since Wi-Fi range is the most common cause of disappointing results. If you are on an FTTC package, check whether Full Fibre has reached your street; the jump is substantial.

What is the fastest EE broadband package?

EE sells full-fibre packages up to 1.6 Gbps in areas with the newest Openreach FTTP. Most homes on full fibre will be offered tiers around 150, 300, 500 or 900 Mbps.

Should I stay with EE when my contract ends?

Compare first: out-of-contract prices are almost always beatable, and if you don’t need EE’s mobile bundling benefits, another provider on the same Openreach line may offer identical speeds for less.
