LONDON, 29-Jun-2018 — /EuropaWire/ — EE today introduced two new broadband plans to its home broadband portfolio, called Fibre Max 1 and Fibre Max 2. The new plans are built to support the demands of customers with increasingly connected homes and families, and form part of EE’s strategy to provide customers across the UK with the best mobile and broadband converged offers and services.

EE’s new Fibre Max 1 (average download speed 145Mbps, average upload speed 28Mbps) and Fibre Max 2 (average download speed 300Mbps, average upload speed 47Mbps) plans ensure families and friends can stream, download, game and browse seamlessly and simultaneously.

With 10 connected devices in the average UK home, and more being added all the time, households are using the internet more than ever and seamless, ultrafast connectivity is becoming increasingly important. EE’s Fibre Max plans are perfect for downloading and streaming HD and 4K UHD videos and with average speeds of 300Mbps on Fibre Max 2 – customers can download an HD TV show in just 12 seconds or the latest album from their favourite band in just three seconds. Fibre Max 2’s average upload speeds of 47Mbps mean that customers can upload a photo onto their favourite social media channel in a tenth of a second.

EE customers on a pay monthly handset plan will also see their monthly data allowance boosted by a massive 20GB when they sign-up to one of the new Fibre Max plans. This extra data can be used by the lead account holder, or using EE’s new data gifting service, shared with the rest of the family each month.

Available online, in store and over the phone, Fibre Max 1 costs £42 per month and Fibre Max 2 costs £47 per month, both on an 18-month contract with unlimited usage. EE TV is also available for an additional £8 per month and for a limited time, new and upgrading customers who sign up to the new plans will also receive free set-up (usually £50). Existing customers who upgrade by the 25^th July will also receive a free BT Whole Home Wi-Fi (worth £199), delivering seamless high-speed Wi-Fi all around the home using a supercharged ‘mesh’ network.

Max Taylor, Managing Director of Marketing, EE said: “Our new fibre broadband plans are designed to support the demands of customers with increasingly connected homes and families. With the growth of 4K TV, smart home technology becoming more popular than ever, and more members of the family using the latest smartphones and tablets, we’re giving our customers the widest range of converged mobile and home broadband products in the UK, along with the best customer service, so they can enjoy the fastest speeds both in and out of the home.”
