ONE of the UK’s biggest broadband providers is preparing to unleash faster speeds and better Wi-Fi connectivity – all without needing to change your broadband package.
Insiders from BT-owned EE have revealed to The Sun that a new router is on the way for some customers.

The firm already has a super-fast Wi-Fi 7 Smart WiFi Pro router for its top end 1.6Gbps package.
But later this year a hub for mid-tier speeds is expected to launch.
Sources say this will be for Full Fibre 500Mbps and 900Mbps packages.
Wi-Fi 7 is the latest standard, which enable faster speeds around the home and crucially, a more reliable connection to all your gizmos.
That’s because it can handle being connected to more gadgets at once, which is especially important given how many we use and have running in our lives these days.
It only works on products that can support Wi-Fi 7, such as the PS5 Pro and the latest iPhones.
The new router also features a much slimmer design so it takes up less space.
It’ll be available to new and existing EE Broadband customers.
However, it’s not expected to come as a free upgrade.
For now, exact pricing and release date are unknown so we will have to see what EE has to say later this year.
