EE Full Fibre (FTTP) Broadband: Fibre Max Plans With Up To 900Mbps Download

EE offers Full Fibre Max (FTTP) broadband with download speeds of up to 900Mbps. Find out how it works and how to order a FTTP plan.

In the UK, EE now offers a full fibre broadband service which uses a fibre optic connection all the way into your home. Also known as fibre-to-the-premises (or FTTP for short), it gives you a more reliable connection along with download speeds of up to 900Mbps.

In this article, we’ll review EE’s full fibre (FTTP) broadband service including how it works and how it compares to a regular fibre broadband service. We’ll then look at EE’s full fibre plans including Fibre Max broadband and the discounts that are available to EE pay monthly mobile customers. Finally, we’ll discuss the speeds available on the service, how you can check availability where you live and how to change from your current provider to EE.

What is Full Fibre Broadband on EE?

In the UK, full fibre broadband (also known as fibre-to-the-premises, or FTTP for short) is the next generation of home broadband. It uses a fibre optic connection all the way into your home. This differs from regular fibre broadband which uses fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) technology where the final part of your connection is delivered over a copper phone line.

Because a FTTP full fibre connection goes all the way into your home, it delivers three important benefits compared to regular fibre broadband:

• Full Fibre broadband can give you much faster download speeds. For instance, EE offers average download speeds of 900Mbps on their Full Fibre Max 900 plan. This is 13 times faster than the speeds on regular fibre-to-the-cabinet broadband (average speeds of up to 67Mbps). It means downloads will happen much faster with a HD-quality film downloading in as little as 40 seconds.
• Full Fibre broadband offers more capacity. With full fibre broadband, a lot more devices can use your broadband connection at the same time without things slowing down. For instance, you can stream or game in 4K ultra-HD quality without the need to worry about slowing down the connection for others in your household.
• Full Fibre broadband gives you better reliability. Because it uses a fibre optic cable the whole way, you’ll benefit from more reliable connectivity when using full fibre broadband. For instance, full fibre broadband isn’t affected by noise and interference in the same way that other broadband services can be affected.

You can learn more about these benefits on the EE website.
