I've been using it for about 5 months now. So far so good. Constant speed of around 11-12 Mbps on an ADSL line and never dropped out yet. Also get discount because my mobile contract is with them. They use traffic management at peak times, but I've not noticed any slow down. Router seems okay too.
Time will tell though as my Sky broadband was like this for 6 months too. Then the speed dropped to around 4Mbps and it constantly went down with Sky saying there were problems in my area, stuck it out for the remainder of my contract with Sky and continued to get problems every month. As soon as I switched, all problems went.

So if more people switch to EE, my service may suffer?

In that case, stay away from EE, they're rubbish

Indeed I'd be surprised if it would reach the same level as the Sky users though

Mate of mine is on EE, he said to me a few days ago to switch over as my broadband contract has ended and now im only paying £13. I'm a big fan of the net in regards to gaming online/working from home - sending files to others and uploading data file which are related to work so I have to have a good connection. Recently mine has started to play up and I'm hearing and reading reviews that EE is on the top of the list !

hope this helps, I might be joining them too.

I've been with Orange BB (EE now) for years. If you have a problem they're crap; Indian call centres and will usually take an age to resolve issues. However, if it works then all is good and it is cheap. I'm the same as Saint - I'm an EE phone customer so get their BB for £5 a month and it runs at 10-12Mbps day in day out (awaits for problems now!).
