I have just moved over from Virgin Media and was sold broadband (1.6gb) & TV (big entertainment). I opted for 2 TV boxes (since I was told the second was free) and was told I would have the 4g backup (hybrid connect) all that for £77 which I thought was excellent !
I was told over the phone the order confirmation will show 900mb broadband but don't worry its just because the bolt on for 1.6gb does not show, I had no reason not to believe them.
So a couple of days ago the equipment turns up and no second box or hybrid connect, I phoned to tell them and apparently its going to take them a week to listen back the call to see what I was told.
Service was installed today and its only the 900mb broadband...again I apparently have to wait a week for them to do anything.
Not impressed and not a good start to being with EE I was either straight up lied to on the phone or this is massive fail...either way I am really not happy

@Mustrum "I was told over the phone the order confirmation will show 900mb broadband but don't worry its just because the bolt on for 1.6gb does not show" This is misleading at the very least

@Ewan15 that quote was from the OP, but your reply quoted another poster and made it sound/look as you blamed them for the misinformation.

Yes, the info I had was similar.
The 900Mbs package with TV could be ordered but for 1.6Gbs I needed to wait until the broadband was activated and then phone together the TV added on.
l cancelled my Sky TV package giving a month’s notice. Then after a further to EE CS call it has been confirmed (as mentioned elsewhere) that the TV package is not as yet available for 1.6Gbs.
What I should do is change to the 900Mbs/TV package, continue with the Sky TV cancellation and wait for the 1.6Gbs upgrade. However, I am keener to get the 1.6Gbs. Silly really as I could save money doing it that way.
I am a sucker for fastest internet speeds I can get.
Got a 2.5Gbs Ethernet switch for my office yesterday as I have Cat6 cable running there from the Sky router. Coming today is a USB-C to 2.5Gbs Ethernet dongle.
So it is now just waiting for the EE hubs and the switch on the 27th which needs to go smoothly as I work from home.
