Pathetic 4g speed and useless support

ChrisAmyPhillip

For several weeks (in fact months now), I have been trying to resolve pathetic 4G BB speed to my router. I have had the same conversation multiple times and always told a fix is in progress. The fix never actually fixes the ongoing issue with the local mast and I am locked into a service for 4g unlimited data sim for another 18 months at £33.
Nobody wants to actually fix the issue and I need to cancel the contract but before I am even able to discuss that I have to do the same tests, provide that same metrics over and over again. I will just cancel the DD and see if anybody responds....
I have used vodafone and o2 and comparatively they have been brilliant!

Good. I've nothing to worry about as I receive a substandard service whereby the provider are both not interested in fixing and not incompetent

The EE portal even states that I have used all my data - buy more data. I call them and they say "not sure why it states that, you are on unlimited".

What a joke of a support team.

Hi @ChrisAmyPhillip ,

 

If you play things by the book and keep in discussions with the service provider, it may be possible for you to get the human advisers to sympathize and agree with your assessment that they cannot reliably provide the service which you pay for and they may release you from your contract.

 

I highly recommend not to unilaterally breach your side of the contract even if you judge the other party is in breach of their end of the contract. If you believe the service provider is in breach of contract, there are proper steps which you may take to remedy that. One such proper step is not to be in breach of contract yourself as the service provider is more properly setup to address breach of contract and would be able to use your breach to release themselves of any blame as they will have proof and you are not properly equipped to prove the service provider is in breach of contract.

 

I'm sad to hear of the situation you are in as I was in a 24 month contract with another service provider where the signal and performance was less than desired. I recommend to ignore the message that data has run out on an unlimited contract as I believe it refers to the giftable allowance which has run out. I currently see the same message on an Unlimited Data Pass where the giftable 120 GB has been exhausted but obviously I can use further unlimited data up to 600 GB just fine.
