So i'm a new customer full fibre installed by openreach for EE.
1.6gbps guaranteed 1.3gbps. the full ee package.
Had 12 openreach engineers attend my home max speed is 945mbps.
Tested the fibre with an exfo OTDR and the line is clear.
Smart hub 2 has in input of 2.5gbps on the only wan port ( RED) from the PON. ( pon is the new small 2.5gbps box)
Hope my terminology for the device is correct but you get the idea.
But can only output on the 4 yellow ethernet ports at 1gbps so you can't ever get any faster with EE equipment.
Oh i hear you say its wifi 6 max speed oy of tht has been 750mbps on an android phone.
The Openreach engineer has no way to test the speed at anything over 1gbps he can bypass the hub and do a wireless test on his mobile through the router but not using the ee software, that comes back as being fine but then gets a text with the result at 940mbps.....
The result is EE seem to be selling a service that with the current equipment can't give you the speeds you would expect. so if someone out there has had a min 1.3gbps and recorded it on say OKLA speed test i would be very interested to find out how this is possible . I also have a 2.5gbps network card hooke to the hub with cat 8 cables so my equipment is capable.
they have offered to downgrade my service but thats not why i chose EE. i wanted the high speeds and the bandwidth.
i'm awaiting details of what's going to happen from EE next week. as they are looking into the issue.
