And it’s all possible with a simple flick of a button in an app.
EE has announced that Stream Mode is rolling out to eligible broadband customers over the coming weeks.
When activated within the EE app, it cleverly to minimise buffering and improve viewing quality throughout the home.
The feature puts live streaming uploads in the fast lane too so its quicker to share videos on platforms like Twitch and YouTube.
It’s all part of EE’s WiFi Enhancer service.
The firm already has a Game Mode and Work Mode for power players and those working from home respectively.
WiFi Enhancer is included as standard with the Made for Gamers and Busiest Home broadband bundles.
Or you can add it on as a £5 per month 30 day rolling basis.
Luciano Oliveira, Director of Product of Home & TV at EE, said the tool is designed to give customers “even more control over their broadband experience”.
“Whether its binge-watching boxsets or watching live sport, Stream Mode puts streaming apps in the fast lane, so customers can enjoy uninterrupted entertainment, even when the whole household is online,” he said.
“It’s all part of our mission to create a smarter, more personalised, WiFi experience, and it’s only available on EE.”
