What is Fast Lane?

Your business, prioritised. When the network gets busy, put your business in the Fast Lane.

Available on 5G+, Fast Lane gives you up to 5x network priority over customers who don't have Fast Lane when demand is high.

Fast Lane automatically gives you priority when the network is busy, helping keep your connection responsive when lots of people are using the network.

So, when you're surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of people, you're closer to the front of the network queue.

Whether you're uploading content to your business socials, joining a video call or taking payments on the move, Fast Lane helps keep you connected when demand is high.

How does Fast Lane differ from 5G+?

5G+ gives you EE's fastest, most responsive mobile experience. Fast Lane is an additional benefit available on 5G+ that gives eligible customers network priority when demand is high.

In simple terms, 5G+ gives you access to EE's most advanced 5G experience, while Fast Lane helps prioritise your mobile data whenever the network is busy.

In busy places such as city centres, transport hubs, stadiums and events, Fast Lane can help keep business apps responsive, improve video call quality and help card payments go through more quickly.

• New Small Business customers taking an eligible Full Works handset plan.
• Existing Small Business customers who re-sign onto an eligible Full Works handset plan.
