Visitors to large events and gatherings are no stranger to having their wireless signal experience instability, so EE Fast Lane has been launched as a way to help subscribers achieve better connectivity capabilities. The [subscription option](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/continuous-connectivity) will work by having the telecom assess the events and gatherings that are taking place before moving subscribers over to a [dedicated section of its 5G+ network](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/5G-slice-verification). This section will be just for them to use for [faster speeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/network-optimization), a more stable access experience and uninterrupted connectivity.

The EE Fast Lane is being launched for Full Works Plus subscribers and is priced at £5 per month. The plan add-on will also be offered as part of the Full Works business plan to help maximize connection strength when it's needed most.
