EE (formerly Everything Everywhere) is a British mobile network operator, internet service provider and a brand of BT Consumer, a division of BT Group. It was established in 2010 and is the second-largest mobile network operator in the United Kingdom, with 21.2 million customers as of September 2022.[2]

It was originally known as Everything Everywhere in a 50:50 joint venture between Deutsche Telekom and France Télécom (now Orange S.A.) following the merger of their respective T-Mobile and Orange businesses in the UK, which became brands that was eventually phased out in 2015. It was rebranded to EE while concurrently launching the UK's first 4G mobile network in 2012. It was acquired by BT in 2016 and became a new consumer division within the wider group, alongside BT Consumer before its integration into the latter in 2018, operating across three brands – BT, EE, and Plusnet.

EE has its headquarters in London, England, as well as hubs in Bristol, Darlington, Sunderland, Greenock, Merthyr Tydfil, North Tyneside, Plymouth and Leeds. As of November 2016, EE's 4G network coverage reached more than 99% of the UK population, with double speed 4G reaching 80%, while EE's 3G network reached 98% of the population.[3][4][5]
