My EE broadband has been down since yesterday. I immediately called support and registered a complaint. An engineer was sent today, only to tell me that he cannot fix it because it’s a wider outage affecting multiple homes, and that it may take another TWO DAYS to be resolved.
This is beyond absurd.
I work from home, and my livelihood depends entirely on a stable internet connection. Because of EE’s outage, I am completely unable to work, meet deadlines, or carry out my job through absolutely no fault of my own.
No temporary solution.
No clear accountability.
No urgency — despite knowing customers rely on this service for work.
For a company as large as EE, this level of disruption and lack of contingency is simply unacceptable. Customers are expected to pay full price, yet are left without a basic essential service when it matters most.
EE seriously needs to do better.

Good morning @RickPhil.
I'm glad to hear that an Openreach engineer will be on the case with your fault soon, but can completely appreciate your concerns around both the wrong engineer being sent initially, and the way this was handled when you called up to query things.
I'm confident we will get your underlying issues resolved, but if you were looking to raise a complaint around things have been handled as a whole, I'd recommend filling out our complaints webform here.
This will go direct to our dedicated complaints team, who will be able to look into your experience as a whole and make sure we've done all we can, as per our complaints code of practice.
