Since I changed from BT I have found that EE has been a terrible switch. After weeks of complaints because of instability, change of equipment, visits by BT, the problems seemed to settle down. However it cant be trusted as recently I am having to reset connections within the house because of loss of service. In the many many years I had with BT I cant remember a problem with their service.
I wanted to change to EE to save money to home account as I had a business account with BT and was expensive. However I am now paying just about the same as I did with a premium business account. When I look at other providers i am paying far too much in comparison.
As soon as I can I will leave EE and find a supplier that can give me a stable service with a competitive price.

Hi @magicdave
Thanks for coming to our community.
I'm sorry that you have been having trouble with your service, this definitely isn't the experience we would expect.
Have you spoken to our tech team about this yet?

Hello
Since the change from BT there have been many problems.
1. When I discussed changing providers I wasnt sent any breakdown of costs. and just accepted that home WFI couldnt be any more expensive than the business contract I had with BT. I was shocked to see that the amount was so high, but that was my fault as I should have challenged after first bill. It makes me angry when I see what you advertise an actually what I pay for a simple home contract.
2. From the very start the connection has been intermittent. You sent out Outreach who found no problem with the cabling and connections and the fault was with your equipment. I was sent replacements which still had problems and was getting more frustrating with drop outs and having to change codes on my wirelessequipment. At the time you ran tests and again confirmed it was your problem. I never ever had drop outs with the BT equipment. Indeed the engineer who installed the EE router told me that the BT equipment was far better !. I would have continued to use the BT router on your line however with a phone connection is not possible.
In the past you have confirmed you had problems as you had run tests and monitored the line.
Sadly it is frustration that makes me want to pass on my situation It also annoys me that when I have a WFI drop out I also loose my telephone.

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

I was with BT and wanted to move from a BT business account to a home account. Somehow I ended up with EE and paid not much less for a home account as I was with business.
The first set of problems were put down to faulty equipment which was exchanged.
I still get drop outs and seemingly there is nothing that can be done. Over the many years with BT i had not one jot of a problem.

@magicdave And the amount of time I’ve been with EE for broadband I’ve not had an issue. So what does that say.
Sorry but why to you think a business account would be paying more than an a personal account.

Hi @magicdave
Have you spoken with our technical support team since the exchange? They'll be able to continue to try and diagnose the problem, ruling out the equipment that has been exchanged.

A number of people were involved when I was having a real bad time at the beginning of the change and blames flowed back and forward to Open Reach.
However EE had been monitoring the continuity and admitted there were problems with them and hardwear was changed. However still had problems and the drop out. When the router fails, also does my phone! A double irritation
The annoying thing is that prior to moving to EE I never had one problem in all the years with BT.
I should have just stayed with the BT business account. To this day I still cant understand why I am paying so much and have to wait another year and a half to change to another provider.

Thanks for explaining here @magicdave, I can appreciate how frustrating this must be if the issues still persist after you've replaced the equipment.
Which model of router is it you're using, and how frequent will these drop-outs occur?
Also what's the last update you had from our technical team?
