Introducing Advanced Full Fibre from EE: 2.3 and 8 Gigabit broadband

Chrissy_G — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 07:55:03 GMT

Hey everyone, we just wanted to share some exciting news about EE Broadband.

EE has launched Advanced Full Fibre, our fastest ever connection with speeds of up to 8Gbps. It's designed for the way homes use WiFi today, and in the future. It delivers a faster, more reliable connection that can handle everything your home throws at it, all at the same time.

If you're working from home, sharing large files, creating content, joining video calls or backing up data to the cloud, it delivers the speed and reliability to help you stay productive.

And when the working day is done, it keeps up with everything else going on in your home too. From streaming and gaming to browsing and smart home technology.

This isn't just a speed boost. It's a big change in how your home connects, built to support the future of connected homes and ready for whatever comes next.

What is it?

Advanced Full Fibre is our next-generation broadband, powered by XGS-PON technology. That might sound technical, but it simply means a faster, more reliable connection that can handle everything your home throws at it, all at the same time.

Where is it available?

It's currently available in selected areas, including Guildford, Woking and surrounding locations, making this one of the fastest regions in the UK for broadband speeds.

Availability will expand further as the Openreach national XGS-PON rollout continues, so more homes across the UK will be able to access these speeds in the future.

Full Fibre 2.3 Gigabit

The 2.3Gbps tier gives you a huge boost in speed and reliability for everyday use. You’ll use our Smart Hub 7 Pro, designed to deliver fast, consistent WiFi right across your home.

Speeds up to 2.3Gbps
Upload speeds of up to 230Mbps
Supports up to 190 devices at once
Up to 64 times faster than superfast Fibre

Your connection stays smooth and stable no matter how busy your home gets. Streaming, gaming, working, scrolling, it all just works.

Full Fibre 8 Gigabit

Our 8Gbps tier is our fastest ever connection, built for homes that need seriously powerful performance. To make the most of these speeds we'll send you a new router and extender.

Speeds up to 8Gbps
Upload speeds up to 800Mbps
Up to 222 times faster than superfast Fibre
Supports up to 190 devices at once

This is broadband for demanding households. It handles large downloads, high quality streaming, creative work, and everything in between. No slowdowns. No compromises.

What a shame it is only Guildford at the moment and its cheaper than what I am currently paying. It's a shame they will spoil the new service with the Pro 7 again.

I am running all my devices perfectly now as I have dumped the Pro7 and gone Ubiquiti, multiple SSIDs, VLANs for my IoT devices and others. WiFi with so many configurable options per access point, seamless WiFi roaming. WiFi mobile calling is flawless. Teams works. The EE Fibre is good, it was just the hardware on the end that was the problem.

To save people wasting time, it is only available to new customers.

Ironically, I am in the XGS-PON trial area (neighbour is on the 8Gbps product, I registered but didn’t make the cut) and the 2.3Gbps product is almost the same price as my current FTTC 67Mbps Full Works contract.

EE doesn’t want to offer me this speed but would like to me to upgrade to 900Mbps Ultimate for £56.99, £2 more than The 2.3Gbps offer here.

I appreciate “Ultimate” has some extra things but I don’t need a 4G back up etc. on the most reliable Fibre technology. It only made sense on the flaky FTTC.

@Profile closed Where does it say ONLY new customers can get the deal, and without upgrading with the caveats all thrown in the mixer?

Advanced Full Fibre locations

New customers in Guildford, Woking and surrounding areas, can register their interest. The locations include:

Guildford
Woking
Brookwood
Puttenham
Clandon
Shere
Worplesdon

We’ll be in touch if you’re eligible to place an order.

EE is not going to let you downgrade from what you have especially mid cycle off a contract when they have your money already. See the update on this site link, few weeks to go by the looks off it wait wise, not the payment side though.

What?

I was just comparing what I pay now for FTTC to what is on offer for a new customer on FTTP and that it wasn't possible for me to order anything as an existing customer even though I am in the correct area.
