Refused a new EE Smart Hub Plus when moved from BT

A few weeks ago my BT contract had expired so negotiated a new extension with increased speed. At the time I was told I would be moved to EE and it was agreed that I would be supplied with a new EE Smart Plus Hub and I would be sent a bag to return the BT Router.

The bag arrived but no new hub. When I rang yesterday I was told EE would not send me a new hub as my old BT was "good enough", they could only replace it with another BT router! It was suggested that there had been a miss communication or I misunderstood. This was not the case I was quite explicit and was told I would get the EE Smart Hub Plus.

The discussion went round around, including being told there was no email to which I could write and complain. If I wanted to raise a complaint he would raise it for me and resolve but the resolution was I would not get another hub (judge & jury!!).

When I make an agreement I expect EE to stick to it. There was no misunderstanding!

Come on EE stick to your part of the agreement I made when agreeing to stay with BT/EE when I could have gone elsewhere.

So I have replied and asked for a letter of deadlock so I can send the evidence, correspondence and audio recordings to Ofcom.


No, not OFCOM. They don't handle individual complaints. You take the deadlock letter the EE's ADR handler, the Ombudsman Service - See Complaints code of practice and here is the Complaints Form .

Which EE BB plan are you on including its speed? What EE router do you have (read its label or post a pix)?

@MJ777 Unless you are expecting to have a FF install and upping your package speed in the not to distant future. then future proofing your network now is possibly a good think, you do not say what extenders you went with but whole hog would have been to get a router to go along also. 

Hope that you do have a note of the recording, as it does state in the terms that you are not entitled to an automatic upgrade of the EE Router or a change out of the smart wireless devices, you may have got everything if you pony'd up at the start but they certainly do not like downgrading the system that's for sure...
