What is Broadband Made for Gamers?

With many broadband plans across the U.K. topping out at < 1Gbps, Broadband Made for Gamers is one of the fastest broadband packages you'll find, boasting speeds of up to 1.6Gbps. 

The gamer-specific bundle is part of EE’s move to become no.1 for gaming in the UK, with features like gaming,  speeds, hardware and controls developed using the experience and expertise of the world-leading BT R&D teams at Adastral Park.  

At the heart of Broadband Made for Gamers is a Full Fibre connection, which delivers over 1.6 Gbps download speeds and offers a latency reduction of over a third compared to standard broadband. 1.6Gbps download speeds mean the average game update for a title such as Call of Duty (20.9Gb) could be downloaded in under two minutes (104 seconds) compared to times of over an hour with other Full Fibre packages.

The latest offering from EE features:

  • Lower latency, game server geofencing, and in-home network prioritisation.
  • Full Fibre, delivering a connection of 1.6Gbps with EE’s most advanced router – EE Smart Hub Plus featuring Game Mode – as well Smart WiFi Plus
  • 24 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate included worth almost £200 in total, giving players instant access to hundreds of games
