A few have also seen their upload speeds reduced to c.20Mbps, while others have found that the issue only impacts downloads.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, a number of customers on the same 1.6Gbps package have also complained about problems getting connected to the service (PPPoE cannot authorise), although it&#8217;s unclear if this is directly related to the wider problems with service speed or merely an unrelated incident. But it&#8217;s hard to ignore the proximity of both events.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>EE are aware (I have just spoken to support on the phone), but they have yet to update their status page &#8230; I am meant to be on the 1600\/120 profile, but currently seem to be limited by a 80\/20 profile<\/em>,&#8221; said Jim, one of ISPreview&#8217;s readers. &#8220;<em>Since Saturday evening, there have been an issue with EE\u2019s flagship 1.6Gbps product. Some users have no connection with CHAP related errors in logs, others appear \u2018stuck\u2019 at 70 Mbps (myself included)<\/em>,&#8221; added Chris, another impacted customer and reader.<\/p>\n<p>Various related complaints can also be found on EE&#8217;s Community Forum (<a href=\"https:\/\/community.ee.co.uk\/t5\/Broadband-Landline\/1-6gb-very-slow-today\/td-p\/1601606\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/community.ee.co.uk\/t5\/Broadband-Landline\/1-6-package-down-since-yesterday\/td-p\/1601691\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>), which echo the same problems and raise concerns about EE&#8217;s current lack of an official response. Customers who have contacted EE&#8217;s support department have allegedly been told that the issues should be resolved by the end of today, while others have been told it may take longer. One person was also informed that the speed issue related to a &#8220;<em>software defect<\/em>&#8221; of some kind, which sounds plausible.<\/p>\n<p>ISPreview has already contacted EE for a comment, and we will report back when one arrives. Sadly, it\u2019s not unusual for support teams, even at major ISPs, to be somewhat less effective at responding to such issues when they occur over a weekend (especially so around school holidays).<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 12:29pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve had somewhat of a vague response from EE, which confirms that an issue exists, yet provides no details or ETA for when it might be resolved. The provider did however indicate that the issue is NOT related to a software defect.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>An EE spokesperson said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are aware a few broadband package customers are currently experiencing issues with their connection.
