Learn more about Smart Hybrid Connect
If you can get a good 4G signal where you live, you should be able to get Smart Hybrid Connect.
If you don't have a strong enough 4G signal we won't offer you Smart Hybrid Connect as an add on. That's because we don't think it'll improve your connection at the moment.
If you have Smart Hybrid Connect and you lose your broadband connection, your Smart Hub will wait a short time to see if the broadband comes back up. If it doesn't then it will automatically switch over to the EE mobile network. This takes about 2 to 3 minutes in total.
Once your broadband connection is working again, your Smart Hub will make sure the connection is stable before moving you back over. Your devices will remain connected to your Smart Hub throughout – you won't have to do anything. The data you use when your Smart Hybrid Connect is connecting you to the mobile network is all included in your package.
Hybrid broadband is where you bring two broadband connections together to create a more
reliable connection. For example EE’s Hybrid Broadband connects your home broadband
WiFi with EE’s mobile network. This means that if your broadband were to go down you’d
be able to rely on EE’s mobile network for your connection.
