What happens when the kitchen is on fire and there\u2019s no escape door? When your Sim is treading water in a pool and there\u2019s no ladder to get out? Or perhaps you\u2019re on the run from police after causing mayhem in Los Santos, and the Wi-Fi slows down. It\u2019s a recipe for disaster, and in all three cases, the results are catastrophic in the gaming world. For broadband speeds you can rely on, allow us to point you in the direction of EE.<\/p>\n

With EE, you can get Fibre broadband from as little as \u00a324 per month. The internet service provider also promises to give you the speed you pay for, even at peak times, so there\u2019s no stress about not managing your team effectively on Football Manager (because we all know it would be poor internet which would keep us from being in charge of Crystal Palace as effectively as Roy Hodgson).<\/p>\n

EE\u2019s Fibre broadband boasts an average speed of 74Mb\/s and is built on BT\u2019s superfast technology to give you total reliability whether you\u2019re streaming in 4K or gaming.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also EE\u2019s Smart Wi-Fi: a clever bit of kit which extends the Wi-Fi signal around your home \u2013 even to those hard-to-reach spots (which for some reason always end up being your work from home location).<\/p>\n

However, the broadband that the RadioTimes.com<\/strong><\/a> team are most interested in is Full Fibre broadband. This ultrafast broadband runs on fibre optic cables, rather than copper wires, to provide better connectivity. EE\u2019s Full Fibre broadband has an average speed of 100Mb\/s, which is ideal for people who game consistently, work from home, or perhaps have a large household. The EE Fibre Max 100 plan currently starts at just \u00a343 per month, and has a \u00a30 set-up fee.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s find out more about Full Fibre broadband and what it can offer you.<\/p>\n

What is Full Fibre broadband?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Full Fibre broadband is currently the fastest broadband service you can have: it delivers ultrafast broadband to your home via fibre optic cables which provide quicker internet connectivity.<\/p>\n

The broadband is called that because it uses a faster fibre optic cable to the cabinet and from the cabinet to your house, in comparison to Fibre broadband, which is only part fibre optic cable. We\u2019ll explain more about the differences below.<\/p>\n

Fibre vs Full Fibre: What is the difference between Fibre and Full Fibre broadband?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are three types of broadband: ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line) which uses copper cables to a street-level cabinet or junction box, then copper cables to your home; FTTC (fibre to the cabinet) which uses fibre optic cables to the cabinet, but then relies on a copper cable from the cabinet to your home, and FTTP (fibre to the premises) which uses a fibre optic cable to the cabinet and to the house.<\/p>\n

In a nutshell, the difference between Fibre and Full Fibre broadband is that the former still relies on copper wires to connect broadband to your home, whereas Full Fibre doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Another key difference between the two types of broadband is the speed: as fibre optic cables are more efficient, you can expect your broadband speeds to be between 10 and 15 times quicker than FTTC broadband. Full Fibre is particularly beneficial to those of us whose nearest cabinet is far from where they live, for example, if you live at the edge of a village. With Fibre, your connection would have a fair distance to travel over copper wires, meaning it\u2019s likely to lag.<\/p>\n

The main benefit of Full Fibre broadband is the peace of mind it offers. You can rely on Full Fibre broadband to provide you with speedy internet; Fibre broadband has download speeds which go up to 67Mb\/s, whereas Full Fibre broadband reaches a whopping 1000Mb\/s (or 1Gb\/s).<\/p>\n

To show this in real-life examples: your favourite Amazon Prime Video series \u2014 we\u2019re about to start the thriller Yellowjackets<\/a> \u2014 needs to transmit a lot of data at high speeds to prevent the show from buffering. And let\u2019s not get us started on Zoom or Microsoft Teams calls\u2026 There\u2019s nothing worse than when you\u2019re in an important meeting and your connection cuts out.<\/p>\n

What is a good broadband speed in the UK?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The UK government defines super fast broadband as 30Mb\/s, and the minimum broadband service you can expect in the UK is 10Mb\/s \u2014 if you\u2019re unable to get a download speed of at least 10Mb\/s or an upload speed of at least 1Mb\/s, you can request an upgraded connection.<\/p>\n

To compare this to EE\u2019s broadband speeds, the BT Group brand\u2019s EE Fibre broadband boasts an average speed of 74Mb\/s, and EE Full Fibre broadband provides an average 100Mb\/s speed.<\/p>\n

Plus, there are added perks if you\u2019re already an EE mobile customer and you switch to an EE Full Fibre plan, such as 10 per cent off your EE broadband bill each month, up to 20GB extra mobile data each month, and an Xbox Game Pass worth up to \u00a3120.<\/p>\n
