ISP EE UK Offers 3 Months Half Price on Broadband Packages
New customers of UK ISP and mobile operator EE, specifically those taking out one of their fibre-based home broadband packages (FTTC, G.fast or FTTP), can now benefit from an additional discount that offers the first three months of service at half-price (sale ends 7th July 2022).
All customers will typically receive unlimited usage, an included wireless router, UK and Ireland based customer support, a 24-month contract term and free setup (usually £25). In addition, existing EE Pay Monthly mobile customers also get a 20GB mobile data boost (5GB on their slower packages) and an additional discount on their broadband bill.
However, at the time of writing, EE’s website seems to be having some issues with showing the latest discount for existing EE Pay Monthly mobile users, which is expressed as being the same as the normal discounted rate (e.g. “£26 for 3 months, then £26 a month for EE pay monthly mobile customers“). As such, we’ll only display the prices for non-EE mobile users below.

In addition, those on FTTC and G.fast lines can add a landline phone service for £9.13 extra per month (inc. unlimited minutes and 1500 minutes to mobile).

24 month contracts are far too long for the average person(unless they have very lenient early termination fees).
Yup I hate them. Should be limited to 12 months
Especially with altnets cropping up everywhere.
> (unless they have very lenient early termination fees).
And they don’t, do they? AFAICT most ISPs charge you the full amount (in one go, as well!), if you terminate the contract early. Even though they’ll be incurring less cost because they won’t be providing the service.
It’s mid contract price rises which make them intolerable for me, especially since now with allot of them AFAIK you can’t leave penalty free since they’re a part of the contract.
When I was calculating the potential TCO of some ISPs, I found savings were soon lost if we see 10% rises like this year.
I wouldn’t mind a fairly priced package on a 2 year contract if either it was a 100% fixed rate or you could leave if they raise the price.

“And they don’t, do they? AFAICT most ISPs charge you the full amount (in one go, as well!), if you terminate the contract early.”
I don’t believe it is legal for them to do this. They are supposed to reflect the reduced costs to them in their early termination charges.
I agree many firms do it anyway!
If people want shorter contracts then there’s 12 month contracts available – at increased costs. People can’t have it both ways: rock bottom prices with shorter contracts. Its one or the other.
this isn’t a offer, last week the full fibre 500 was 40.50 over 24 months 972, now with this offer it works out at 1102.50. 130 quid more expensive
I agree, it’s not a great offer. I’m paying £31pm for Fibre Max 100 (connected in March).
If you use Quidco Broadband Compare the price is better, £17.50pm for 3 months then £35 thereafter + £82 cashback + £50 Amazon voucher.
Typical EE ‘offer’ which works out more expensive than it was before.
Unless you are an existing EE mobile customer I can’t think of any good reasons why someone would want to go with them.
Got EE FTTP 500 for parents. Was only a little more then the slower package (but much better upload speed for them) and was 24 months @ £39.99 with no EE introductory offers. OK you get yearly inflation increase in that time but you’d get that on these “offer” prices too.
Seems like these “offers” are masked and end up costing more.
£49 for 500Mb? Can get 900Mb from TalkTalk for the same price! I’m on an older TalkTalk package and it’s only £35 for 500Mb!
Yeah, no – this isn’t an offer, it’s a price increase. I signed up last week to their 500mb@£40.50 deal, which is £12.50 a month cheaper than I’m currently paying with BT for the same service.
I know prices are going up, but this is more than a 10% rise!
