TERRIBLE download speed and even worse customer service

Hey guys,
We have been on EE for a year and had no problems with download speeds until recently when we appear to have been capped at 283

I am now plugged into the test socket but still need the manual reset as they have imposed the 283! try explaining this lol

I have made numerous telephone calls with regard to manually altering the noise ratio but just keep getting through to people who speak broken english and are unable to change it manually.

I know this is not true and have already done a quiet line test on line. No noise or crackling.

Now I have to wait until Saturday before they can get in touch with me, and i was also warned that despite me having to book a 3 hour time slot where I have to stay in, I should expect the call to be upto an hour late before ringing again.

Im pulling my hair out.


Any help is gratefully appreciated.

There is a process known as Banding, which limits your connection speed to try and make the line more stable.

Almost always only EE customers affected, and it needs EE to remove the banding. No need for you to be around can all be done remotely, as they can see all the data you have just posted.

I have tried explaining this but now am forced to wait at least two more days before anything gets done.

It's not good enough. I'm thinking of switching to someone else as the people who answer the phone seem to be incompetent

Thanks for reply

They are! The only way is to write a letter, but that takes time.
