Had Great reliable service over the last year but today the download speed has dropped from 1.6Gbps to 50Mbps, when I called they said it was a know issue with "the package" whatever that means, not a local issue. Anyone else have the same?

EE would be better off putting the issue on a status page along with updates, rather than having customers call in which is wasting time better spent elsewhere.

EE are way beyond common sense at this stage.

For what it's worth, leave a negative review on trust pilot https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/ee.co.uk

Completely down now after an ONT reboot, CHAP authentication failure. Glad I've got 5G backup! Don't reboot your ONT folks if it's your only connection!

Mine went down about 15 mins ago (14:15 ish) and restarting the ONS brought the connection back up - but still at about 70 Mbit/s

I'm chatting to someone on reddit, they're suggesting its 70% fixed. 

Again, not holding my breath. As it's not fixed for me and I'm now shopping 5G modems. Today may be expensive. 

Ok spoke to an EE broadband consultant agent that was helpful. Though believe what you will -

 

Open reach deployed an update on Saturday that has impacted broadband connections over 1gbs. Supposedly this is not just limited to EE.

This has been escalated to senior directors whom are aware and the fix is ready and is being rolled out. They are targeting accounts with no broadband access first. I fall into this bucket, the agent advised he is 1000% confident I will be up and running by 2PM tomorrow. Service may even restore at 8-9PM tonight. 

It does seem like a provisioning issue with the accounts which they are rolling out the fix for.

Mentioned the lack of Comms and frustration - apparently this is a decision EE leadership took to not post anything. I advised even a short message advising of the issue when calling up or someone coming on these forums... Doubt that will happen.

And it's back up, and back to 1.6 Gbps!

Did you have to do anything or did it just start working properly by itself?
