Good news. After years of waiting, broadband and mobile provider EE (BT) has finally made it easier for online customers on their top fastest 1.Gbps speed full fibre package, which is supplied via Openreach’s national Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network, to bundle it with the provider’s Pay TV products.
Just to recap. Back in October 2023 EE became the first UK ISP to launch (here) a package based off Openreach’s 1.8Gbps FTTP broadband tier (1.6Gbps is the advertised average). But the introduction initially came with some caveats, one of which was the annoying fact that the retail provider couldn’t bundle their pay TV product with the 1.6Gbps package (here).
Quite why this was proving to be such a problem has long remained unclear, although things began to change last year after EE started to make pay TV available with a 1.6Gbps broadband plan, albeit only if you contacted one of their call centres directly.
The more recent change, as spotted by several of EE’s customers (credits to Kenneth and Chris), is that the option to add the pay TV service to this plan has now become available via the provider’s App (online). In short, EE has recently been extending availability across additional customer journeys as part of ongoing updates.
