You can always call on us
Hybrid working, endless Zoom calls and the need to stay connected on the go remains the norm for most businesses. It’s why we’re as focused as ever on providing a service that’s reliable, responsible and lightning fast in every corner of the UK.
- The first operator to provide unbeatable 5G to over 50% of the UK.
- We’re committed to offering 5G anywhere in the UK by 2028.
- Our 4G covers 99% of the UK population (and we’re working hard on that last 1%).
- We’re expanding 4G in 2,000+ areas by June 2024 to improve rural connectivity across the UK as part of the Shared Rural Network programme.
- The EE network is powered by 100% renewable electricity.
UK Wide Speeds
In our always-on world, speed is increasingly king. It’s why we’ve boosted our median UK-wide speeds by a massive 53%* since 2020 to 66.2 Mbps. To put that speed into perspective, it means you can download your 4K brand films and 100-slide PowerPoint epics in just minutes, while jumping on a video call at the same time. It also means our average download speeds are twice as fast as Three and Vodafone and a whopping four times faster than Virgin Media O2. And did we mention that we’re the fastest in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?

COMMITTED TO CONNECTIVITY
While we’re proud as punch about our superfast speeds, we’re equally as chuffed that everyone in the UK gets to benefit from them – not just those living in big cities. In the latest RootMetrics report we earned a whopping 25 UK Nation RootScore Awards out of 28 total chances, including the Overall RootScore Award in each nation for the third straight year.
While 30% of the UK workforce now work remotely at least once a week, we remain as dedicated as ever to keeping your customers connected in the city… at the train station… or wherever the big pitch or presentation is taking place. It’s the reason in RootMetrics’ latest RootScore Awards we remained the top performer at the metro level in terms of speed, data, reliability and more.
