I see EE have a 600gb fair usage policy, has anyone gone over this? and if so what measured where taken by EE?

You lose your 5G connection (If you have 5G) and then it's 4G until renewal day.
4G throttling depends on how busy your mast is but generally the 4G is still quite usable.

Scancom EE user here (4G only area). I blitzed way past 600GB last month and noticed no impact whatsoever.

I've consumed 555GB so far this month (EE Scancom sims tend to run from the 23rd of each month) so I'll likely exceed 600GB again in a few days. As a result, I'll have another opportunity to see if there's any impact.

Just to keep this thread updated I'm now at 800 GB consumed for 'this month' (it renews on the 23rd November).

Still no tangible impact on speeds and with another 10 days to go, I will likely go way over 1 TB for the second month in a row.

Mine renews on the 21st of each month.

Final update, to close the circle so to speak, as my EE SCancom sim refreshes at midnight.

To date this month I've consumed 1.16TB with no adverse effect. That's now two months in a row where I've doubled the FUP will no effects.

Your mileage may vary, especially if you're in a 5G area, but in answer to the OP's original question the answer, from my perspective, is "Nothing".

Dear Scancom...:devilish:
 
Bit of a strange senario with my EE 600gb FUP, at the moment (it could all change) my local 5G Coverage is 4G (B7) + 5G (n28) which hovers around 180 mbs DL, if, and rarely do, hit my FUP my Speed increases to around 260 mbs on 4G Only (B1+B3+B7 CA), ie, it performs better on 4G CA than the 5G +n28 which gets disconnected, but, always a but, if I force the 5G Signal to a distant Mast that uses n78 5G using directional 3.5Ghz Antennas, I do get and average of 450mbs DL which then drops down to the 4G 260mbs (above) on hitting the 600gb FUP.

So, horses for courses, for me, by the way when EE Drop your 5G on hitting the FUP, the 5G Signal Indication is still present, you need to dig deep into Signal figures to work out if your actually still connected to the 5G NR Signal Layer.
