Amazon price increase.

Been paying for 4G broadband twice due to EE's error...
I've just noticed that EE have made a mistake and are charging me for two 4G broadband services, perhaps going back several years. We happily had a 4G broadband router for a while (we're not covered by 5G and we're far from a green cabinet), but a few years ago it seemed to be dropping off constantly and so EE sent us a…
