Hi there,
I wanted to express my dissatisfaction with the exceptionally poor performance of the EE website and app, which I have to endure every time I use them. I have never encountered a website or app that functions as poorly as EE's. The website loads painfully slowly and crashes completely when any ad blocker is active. I believe it is overly reliant on trackers and other unnecessary marketing scripts, preventing it from loading correctly if an ad blocker prevents tracking. When I turn off the ad blocker, the website takes ages to load, and half of the time it loads incorrectly. Not to mention the never-ending loading animations. The same issues apply to the app; half of the time, it displays an error message like 'something went wrong,' preventing me from checking my data, or, more frustratingly, sharing data - as if it were designed to fail at sharing. The only section that loads relatively quickly (by EE's slow website standards) is the Bills department.
I wanted to ask: what is going wrong? You are the broadband supplier, so why are your own utilities so painful to use in terms of speed? Please, don't try to blame other factors; it performs just as poorly on the 5G EE network as on my EE 1Gbps fiber network. Is there any explanation for this? Why do I always have to endure such frustration, almost like experiencing PTSD, every time I try to use your app?
Unhappy, long time user.

Here is the latest example:
After managing to create an account here, as described above, I then had trouble logging in later.
My username was not accepted, nor my email address when I type the password, and yes, I was very careful to remember it.
However, something strange recorded on my "keychain" was successful, and when I looked to see the difference I found it was the encrypted version !!
So it appears they encrypted it and expected me to know !!

I bought a first class stamp and sent a snail-mail to EE Customer Services.
This produced a long land-line call from them which basically admitted lots pf problems and promised solutions.
Time will tell I suppose, but the signs are not good. I think they need to double the sills and the headcount.

Hi @ufo71uk
I am sorry you are unable to access all features in the app.
Could you try deleting and reinstalling the app to see if you can access the WiFi controls?
If this continues and you would like to discuss your options, please give us a call and the team will be happy to help.
Leanne.

The individual I spoke to today tried to tell me that the app/website were things EE provided as extras for free.
Its disappointing to hear, but if that's how EE view it then it explains the issues with going unresolved for such a long time.
