Hi,
I am looking at moving from Sky Unlimited to EE broadband. £2.50 broadband and £11/month phone package.
I get a good connection with Sky but some dropouts when streaming iPlayer etc and some slow web page loading.
Have seen many people say that EE slow ALL traffic at peak times not just P2P.
I don't use newsgroups or P2P.
What are people's opinions on this, is it a contention issue?
How can you find out the contention from each provider at my exchange etc.
Do EE normally have a higher contention than Sky?
Is it worth moving from Sky to EE or is this a bad move, I know that Cust services is bad, have an Orange Mobile, but saving £10/month is a very good deal.
Many thanks

Have seen many people say that EE slow ALL traffic at peak times not just P2P. Depends on whether you are within their historic catchment area.
What exchange are you on and I can tell you?
1999: Freeserve 48K Dial-Up => 2005: Wanadoo 1 Meg BB => 2007: Orange 2 Meg BB => 2008: Orange 8 Meg LLU => 2010: Orange 16 Meg LLU => 2011: Orange 20 Meg WBC

Just wondering with the catchment area, does it really cost EE more to provide services outside of their area? Afterall they use BTs equipment everywhere now right?

I believe EE's network area is a mixture of their old LLU area + conditions placed upon them by / agreed with BTw when they signed up for White Label.

Am i in EE's old network area? (Exchange WMKDG)
i just moved to EE Tues 8th oct, although i have seen HTTP downloads come down at 8+ MB/s any time of the day (origin/steam ect). iPlayer can stutter quite a bit anytime.
i did a broadband quality monitor for the first night after connection for 24 hours and it seemed quite stable at avg 20ms latency and 25ms max 0% dropped packets.
could it be the iplayer website or could my connection be simply settling in?

Abbeyhill is in EE's Network Area, so only P2P & Newsgroups are throttled.
