Network Boost

    We’re the only UK mobile company that gives you a Network Boost on premium plans. This means we’ll prioritise your signal in busy or crowded areas, giving you the best possible connection.

    Why we've got the UK's best network

    The largest coverage of any UK network and best overall

    In the first half of 2024, RootMetrics conducted approximately 625,000 tests around the UK (4G and 5G combined), including 16 major cities. 

    The results concluded that EE is:
     

    • The UK’s best network, 11 years running
    • The best network performance in England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland
    • The UK’s most reliable network
    • The UK’s fastest network
    • The UK’s best network for mobile gaming
    • The UK’s best network for video
    • The UK’s best network for 5G experience
    • The UK’s best network for calls

    What is 5G Standalone?

    It’s the next step for our mobile network that will:
     

    • be more responsive for better gaming and streaming
    • give a more reliable connection in busy areas like stadiums and train stations
    • improve indoor coverage and battery life
    • give up to 10x faster speeds than 4G

    It's called Standalone as it works independently of the 4G network, extending our 5G coverage beyond 4G areas.

    The future of mobile

    5G Standalone will unlock new features and benefits

    5G Standalone will unlock game changing services. This includes network slicing, which can give users a dedicated lane for certain apps or activities – perfect for mobile gaming, streaming or video conferencing on the move.

    Some connections can be life or death, as with self-driving vehicles or remote medical procedures. 5G Standalone will enable more immersive augmented and virtual reality, automated factories, and robotics.
