BT Fibre 900 vs EE Fibre 900, is switching worth it

[spireflyer]

Hi i have been looking to upgrade to EE 900 mbps as well currently paying £51.54, i do have sports and Netflix which are extras and no phone, the upgrades are £60.99 and £72.99, but when i look at it from being a new customer the price is only £37.99 for 900 mbps, i have 9 months of my 24 monthly contract remaining so it looks like they are adding about £35 when adding the wifi 7 router per month for the privilege, i have bought a new computer which is wifi 6 compliant, i know i can buy my own router but i am not that confident i would be buying the right one. So maybe it isn't worth upgrading.

Just to say that when I got switched BT to EE I didn't get a new router

[mattyjoyce71]

Really ? that is not good, think if I do switch I will phone to make sure I get the new router as the wifi 6 one is much better. The wifi 7 pro one is better but not necessary at the moment.

If you want an EE router you can get them for £30 or £40 from ebay, maybe I might stick with BT ad do that ,

I think you have to add it and pay monthly, i think the wifi 6 one is £7 a month extra.

It just gets worse later yesterday i looked again and the price jumped up to £83.99 for the £60.99 offer.

I am not paying extra for it, I bet BT will ask for the old one back too, will update you once I have "spoken" with BT, starting to get worried this is all a con.

I have asked BT on X/Twitter about them upgrading us to a wifi 6 router this morning i doubt i will get a answer.

BT don't have a wifi 6 router so be difficult offering you something that doesn't exist. 

You will have to join EE to gain access to one, or buy one from Ebay. 

The wifi 6 router is the standard router offered by EE and is included with all new deals free.

You pay extra for the wifi 7 router 

Bizarrely BT paint the aging SH2 router white and pass it off as a plusnet router yet the same rationale dosnt apply to BT rebranding the superior EE router's  and offering those to BT broadband users

I had a reply and basically it was tough luck i either pay extra or i don't, so in 9 months time i will be moving on, probably go to Zen broadband.
