Core vs Ultimate Plans?

Peakoverload — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 10:50:12 GMT

I'm looking to join EE but I'm a bit confused about the different plans and pricing.

Basically I only want a 900mbps Fibre connection and, ideally, the Smart Hub 7 Pro Router and Wi-Fi Extender 7 Pro (probably 2 Extender 7 Pros)

If I get the Ultimate plan, I get all of this but it costs me £60.99 a month

However, if I get the Core plan, I can add the Smart Hub 7 Pro Router and Extender for £51.99. When I bring up the information on the router (as an add on to the core plan), it says that if I don't get 100mbps in every room, they'll send another extender. That sounds to me like it's the same as the Premium plan when it comes to 'Wifi in every room'.

But the Premium plan with the Smart Hub 7 Pro upgrade comes in at £66.99

Am I reading that correctly?

I know that with the Premium plan you also get Norton, they'll 'keep you connected' and they can prioritise wi-fi traffic but I couldn't care less about that and wouldn't pay an additional £15 a month for, especially not over a 2 year contract.

So am I missing something or is the Core plan with the router upgrade the best option?

Thank you for this. So it looks like I'm correct. Core plan and upgrade to the Smart 7 Pro. Great stuff. Seems weird that they let you choose the Premium Plan and upgrade to the Smart 7 Pro even though that works out more expensive then just choosing the Ultimate plan which gives exactly the same thing.
