UK ISP EE<\/a> has this week become the latest internet provider to adopt SOGEA<\/a> technology (standalone copper broadband), which means that their “fibre broadband<\/em>” (FTTC<\/a> and G.fast<\/a>) packages no longer come with a phone (voice) calls service attached. Just don’t expect to save much money.<\/p>\n

At present most consumers on Openreach<\/a>\u2019s national copper-based network tend to buy broadband and a traditional landline phone service as a seamless bundle, although under the hood the broadband aspect is technically just an optional add-on. But today very few of us make much use of our home phones (mobile, VoIP and internet messaging are more popular) and the march to all-IP based networks is slowly making traditional phone lines redundant.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> SOGEA does NOT make broadband-only connections significantly cheaper vs broadband & phone bundles because you still need the same copper line. Only a tiny amount of the delivery cost sits with the voice side, which goes over the top of this.<\/div>\n

However, Single Order Generic Ethernet Access<\/strong> (SOGEA) changes this approach by enabling ISPs to sell a physical line just for broadband (i.e. the same copper line rental still exists, but the voice component has been stripped out), with the voice service thus either moving to a VoIP based solution from your ISP (i.e. the handsets plug-in to your router) or being completely dropped.<\/p>\n

For example, Sky Broadband<\/a> already offers SOGEA based FTTC<\/a> and G.fast<\/a> broadband packages, although they compensate for the loss of traditional landline phone services by including a VoIP solution for calling. By comparison EE<\/a> seems to have taken a different approach and they’re launching SOGEA based packages without any VoIP solution (standalone broadband only).<\/p>\n

The catch here is that if you want to add landline and calls back into your package then it will cost from an additional \u00a38 per month, which is a fair bit more expensive than before. The bonus is that for \u00a38 you now get unlimited minutes and 1500 minutes to mobile, although quite why they aren’t offering a cheaper pay-as-you-go calls solution by default we don’t know (some people like to retain a phone line just for incoming calls and admin etc.).<\/p>\n

Fibre 36Mbps<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nPRICE:<\/strong> \u00a326 a month for 18 months (\u00a333 thereafter)<\/p>\n

NOTE: If you’re an EE mobile<\/a> customer then \u00a326 becomes \u00a323.<\/p>\n

Fibre Plus 67Mbps<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nPRICE:<\/strong> \u00a330 a month for 18 months (\u00a336 thereafter)<\/p>\n

NOTE: If you’re an EE mobile<\/a> customer then \u00a330 becomes \u00a327.<\/p>\n

Fibre Max 145Mbps<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nPRICE:<\/strong> \u00a346 a month<\/p>\n

NOTE: If you’re an EE mobile<\/a> customer then \u00a346 becomes \u00a335.<\/p>\n

Fibre Max 300Mbps<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nPRICE:<\/strong> \u00a347 a month for 18 months (\u00a353 thereafter)<\/p>\n

NOTE: If you’re an EE mobile customer then \u00a347 becomes \u00a342.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One other problem here is that EE<\/a>, and indeed other ISPs that adopt SOGEA for standalone broadband, need to be very clear about the fact that new customers who swap to them without taking the optional phone service may lose their phone number. Granted to some this will be obvious, but consumers have become so subconsciously familiar with the old approach that they may not all be expecting the loss of their number.<\/p>\n

Otherwise EE’s “fibre<\/em>” packages all include unlimited data usage, a Smart Hub wireless broadband router and existing EE Pay Monthly mobile subscribers will benefit from an extra 5GB of mobile data (20GB on their top Fibre Max plans). The Fibre Max packages also attract a \u00a325 one-off setup fee and if you need a new line installed then that’s another \u00a350, although most switches won’t require the latter. Options also exist to add Apple TV 4K.<\/p>\n

Finally, we should mention that the SOGEA variant of ADSL2+ isn’t ready yet and thus EE’s standard broadband package continues to come with a traditional landline phone service attached.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
