Virgin Media and Sky might both offer broadband speeds in excess of 900Mbps but they are about to be beaten by EE. The UK mobile network - which is now owned by BT - is set to launch a brand new service that will see homes being treated to downloads at a staggeringly quick 1.6Gbps. At that rapid rate, it would take just 20 seconds to download an HD Hollywood movie or only 4 minutes to whizz a 50GB PS5 game to the next-gen console.
Those taking advantage of the new offering from EE, which is expected to arrive this summer, will find their speeds will be around 22 times faster than the current UK average.
