Throttling:-

Hi,

 

So I know this has been discussed previously. If EE can answer honestly i'd be happy to change my package to the 4GEE broadband which i've had before. I'm currently tethering a phone sim in a router, which is allowed according to EE as long as it's under 12 devices. When first set up about 6 months ago it was great!  Now more recently the speeds have just got really slow & are normally less than 5mbps and to be honest it is normally during peak times, early mornings are fine. Are EE throttling this type of connection or is it more & more people coming onto the network & making it slow? I'm in a rural setting & I see lots of companies on Facebook promoting rural broadband connections who are using EE.

 

Many Thanks for any feedback and advice!

If it's FTP or SSH the speeds are capped at about 800-900 KB/sec (6-7meg) until 2am.

They claim there is no throttling but there is, even an EE engineer couldn't find where. I've had it for years and it's against their T&C's.

 

Overnight I can get 3 MB/sec (24 meg). This is multiple locations and no EE staff know why.

Hi @ukguy1, 

 

Thanks for the info, I'm no expert but it's funny now how my speed has improved. I just hope it continues 😀 👍
