Surely EE mobile phone internet should be as good EE dongles

If you carry out the service checker and there is no issue at your location, then you can raise a service issue your provider and they will issue a fault / incident number and investigate the problem with you. If there is an issue on the service checker ( even though your mobile broadband works fine) they will just tell you there is an issue in the area and the estimated fix date.👍
Also if you equally distanced between 2 Masts you could find your mobile broadband is connected to one mast with no issue and the mobile phone is connected to the other mast which might have a fault / congestion issues.

I have EE and can get 5G at the riverside. I watched the cricket on my phone whilst being at the match last season.
 
I’m on Smarty and they use the three Network it’s generally in my experience just as good as the Vodafone network and specifically far, far better at the Riverside.

I have thick walls and still works perfectly on EE.

Also, BT Mobile uses the EE network.

Yes, BT Mobile merged with EE in 2016 and their network frequency is the poorest in the market.

EE operates 2G on 1800MHz, 3G coverage on 2100MHz, 4G coverage on bands 3, 7, 20 but also 1 & 38, 5G on NR band 78.

O2 operates 2G coverage on 900Mhz, 3G on 2100MHz and 900MHz, 4G on band 20 but also 1, 3, 8 & 40, 5G on NR band 78.

Three offers no 2G, 3G on 2100MHz, 4G on bands 3 & 20 but also 1 & 32, 5G on NR band 78.

Vodafone operates 2G on 900MHz, 3G on 2100MHz and 900MHz, 4G on LTE bands 7 & 20 but also 1, 3, 8, 32 and 38, 5G on NR band 78.

I’m not a phone salesman by the way, just sharing my knowledge and experience. If EE works for you then you’ve got yourself a right deal! I wouldn’t touch them with a bargepole.
 
I’ve only just switched from 3 to EE. Couldn’t get any data 4g or 5g to work at the riverside at the Sunderland game. Never had a problem on 3

I've had an EE mobile broadband router ( same as dongle but multiple device connections ) for ages. It's possible as others have said that the one in the house may have been 5g so no comparison. However if was 4g I still don't think there is a comparison as I have suspected for sometime there will be reserved bandwidth on a mast by mast basis for dedicated mobile broadband users ( dongle or router ) and the rest of the bandwidth will be available to phones. I mainly get 3 speeds in the house with this router. It's set for maximum 60 but never get that , 20pc of time get my actual max which is 23 Mbps, 30pc of time I get 14 ish and the rest 50pc of the time is exactly like normal landline broadband which is just under 8 Mbps. Can regularly see all 3 speeds over different parts of the same day. It's highly variable basically .
 
I went from EE to Tesco O2 as they have a mast close by, coverage in my house on EE was terrible... No issues with O2.
 
I went from EE to O2 and I've found them to be worse than EE were. Especially bad anywhere busy. Will probably switch back when my contract ends
