Does anybody know when 1.6gbps and a WiFi 7 capable router is coming to BT? If it is not can we transfer to EE 1.6gbps yet?

Hi @mike63uk

Get up to 1.6Gbps and connect up to 190 devices at once, when you switch to EE.

Hi @shakey1981

As long as it's ordered/performed as a re-grade migration, not a new connection, there is no activation fee charged when migrating a service from BT to EE 😀

Be careful though as billing is automated and if you're still in contract with BT then you'll get a early termination charge

P.S

1.6 gpbs is just silly

Absolute rubbish, if transfer is done following correct process no charges are applied at all

@shakey1981 Why are you talking about etf on a BT-EE regrade? If done correctly via the migration there aren't any
