Broadband Speed was so slow, communications were so bad. I literally had to wait 30mins each time when there is incorrect billing on their side. I'll never recommed NOW broadband to anyone, unless they are extremely stupid.

I have just had to ditch this service after 2 months. The provider I had prior to this delivered as promised and when the wireless signal became an issue sent me a better router. Now broadband was no where near as reliable and despite numerous complaints and escalation to higher levels the only response was sorry there is nothing else we can do. Just speaking to customer service is a 15-20 minute wait. The attitude of now broadband and its staff is tough. If you are thinking of changing to this provider one word DON'T.

Surprised at some of the reviews, I’ve had Now broadband for nearly a year now and it’s always been very reliable for me

All went well until my going live day...connected everything up correctly, turned on expecting great WiFi and then nothing. Called customer service and was told "oh it can be activated anytime up til m8dnihht" (OK so by then I have lost a days Internet.
Following day (2nd day) expected to turn on and be activated... again nothing. Called technical this time... ran a line check and low and behold finally coverage...well for 2 hours (12-2pm)then nothing.so back on the phone to technical who said engineer will be out to connect in 3-5 days could be sooner, so in thought ok they'll now make it urgent. Next day (3rd day now), still nothing so now cancelled... this lady very helpful then put me through to compensation team...bloke seemed less than enthused and said it'd be fish to open reach if I got any compo. He also said that an engineer had been booked and canceled by me...I'd be that lucky to have actually got a call, email etc.
So in the end I've now gone with Zoom who I booked for tomorrow for an engineer to visit and set up. OK Now broadband are cheap at £22 pm for 63mbs (when I ran a speed test for the 2 hours actually connected I was only getting 20mbs).
Zoom are £30pm (first 3 months £20) for 150+ mbs. So moral of my story is cheaper is not necessarily better.

Broadband is reliable and hasn't yet let me down. Speed is OK and get what you pay for. Only problem is the range and I have had to fit a range extender to get to rooms outside the room the Broadband hub is situated.

Untrustworthy company with terrible morals and worse customer service. Few will renew with these guys once they have experienced their awful corporate culture.
In my case, did a 12 month deal and they increased price by 15% in 2nd month (whilst still giving new members the same price).
That is terrible form to any sensible person yet all the company have to say is "well leave then". But with a 30 day limit to leave without penalty that is easier said than done.
A remarkably awful company. Save your time and find a company with some morals.

Very unreliable over a period of a year. Despite boasting speeds of up to 60Mb it struggles to handle two smartphones running at the same time. Avoid.

I am not a customer yet, was just looking to see if I had coverage at my location. It doesn't offer me any of this when you fill in the postcode. You just start a purchase process. So assumption says I have coverage?
so going through the help centre, you end up with a chatbot, who is as helpful as a can of baked beans.. I am not liking the human less corporations... And I am not even that old yet..

Now broadband is just AWFUL. You can use one device as long as you are beside the router. I live in a city centre and this is the best I could get. They have the gall to jack up the price by 50% after a year. Astonishing! I literally couldn’t get a signal in my bedroom which is 8 feet from the router. Don’t buy this. Fair warning.

Failed to supply purchased router. Switch went ahead away so no access to broadband until replacement sent.irish call centre less than helpful verging on contemptuous. Refuse to supply details so that I can use my own router in the short term and we don't even switch until tomorrow. Terrible start, terrible customer service, terrible mistake. Once up and running again first Google search will be for another more professional provider than these bunch whom I suspect are operating out of a caravan!

Bit of a shambles really. Signed up with them. They took the money then cancelled the contract. Said I already had internet. I don't. Called openreach, there was no issues with my line. Nice business model, take money then cancel. No refund.

I recently signed up to transfer my broadband and phone package to Now as my package with another company was near the end of the contract. I had a couple of concerns that I needed answering. I telephoned Customer Service a spoke to a lady called Veronica. She was courteous and listened to my concerns and because all the details were not displayed on my account she arranged to phone me the following day. Further investigations were needed and a she was on days off and an intervening weekend she phoned me on her return, as arranged and my issues were cleared up.
Veronica provjded outstanding customer service and is caring and cheery in personality.
She is a credit to the Company.
Hopefully once my service begins it matches up to the consideration I have received to date.

I switched from Sky to Now Broadband a week ago, Sky had hiked their prices and and lengthened the contract to 18 months so time for a change. I cannot get fibre broadband in my village so standard broadband it has to be.
The switch over was very easy,kept my phone number, router arrived recorded delivery in plenty of time for start date, plugged router in at 8.30am on morning of start date and was connected straight away. Been going a week now and getting average speed around 14Mb which is good for my area.
The offer of £18 per month which includes broadband and all inclusive calls is a good deal and I am pleased to have taken this up. No comment on Now TV as I do not have it.

How petty can you get I've decided to go to a new provider leaving on the 19th of this month cancelled my contract last month by phone to give them enough notice no problem booted game console up yesterday the 2nd March to install a new game,the download speed was low went on to pc to check the speed should be 63mbps through wifi which I have been getting as my router is downstairs it is now 22mbps so just because I was leaving at the end of my contract they have been so petty to drop my speed down. Read the comments on this site and now agree with them if you are leaving NOW Broadband at the end of your contract give them the minimum notice you can because they will drop your speed down so it's virtually unusable will NEVER use this organisation again for broadband or any of their services including their TV services which I have also cancelled.

Avoid like the plague! They have a billing system that is terrible and will not take the payment when it is due. Their online bills system does not work and you get fobbed off when you call about it. The retentions staff speak to you like you are a piece of garbage! Cannot physically wait to move away from them! Even talk talk are better and that is saying something

Awful company - they are basically criminals. Broadband was always slow, didn’t reach certain rooms of the house and frequently cut out. I cancelled after finding a better deal and they still took a full payment from me in the full knowledge I didn’t owe them a penny. I had to call on five separate occasions to get my money back - it took over a month of constant calls, messages and emails to get my refund processed. Stay away from this company, not only will they give you a terrible service - they will openly steal from you.

The cheap router is the worst part of this. Weak and won’t reach through the walls of my house (my previous BT router would). Yes as others have said, they’re cheap for a reason. Owned by Sky as well. Only signed up for 12 months (thank god) so early termination fees aren’t too bad and am having fibre installed in a couple of weeks. After that, rubbish broadband will be a thing of the past. I cannot wait!

This provider gives decent broadband. HOWEVER. There is absolutely no app available that lets you control who uses the broadband in the house, device management, diagnostics, remote management. Nothing. It is something that they really need to address as it is lacking severely on its competitors. Is will be looking at alternatives when my 12 month contract is up.

After more than 10 years with Plusnet I moved to the Now Broadband ADSL service 10 days ago. Good communications from Now Broadband from the time of ordering to the change-over of service. New router arrived in plenty of time and the change-over itself went without issue. I have consistently received 20.5Mbps download speed and usually around 1.2Mbps upload. This is a clear improvement on what I was getting from Plusnet. So far, it does appear that Plusnet have done me a favour in their no longer appreciating loyal customers.

Unbelievably poor service.
Extremely slow speed. I can’t believe this company is still standing here despite this poor service.
I wish I could have another choice. Their speed is never as good as they promise. I even sent them the screenshot of speed which was just below 1Mbps, but they still didn’t pay any attention at all. I can’t even see a 5 minutes youtube video with this broadband without being interrupted 3-4 times due to poor speed.
Thanks to my EE mobile connection which has far better speed than this broadband, which I have to use so often to send my emails or do my office work, which is impossible with this broadband.
I wouldn’t recommend this connection to anyone at all. I even asked them to terminate, but they wouldn’t do it. I wish I could know how to complain against this company. Does anyone know how to do that?

Speed and reliability OK, but within a week of starting with NowTV I've been receiving a constant stream of scam calls from "Sky Broadband" (multiple landline numbers but obviously from overseas judging by the accents) claiming that my internet speed is slow and they have to update my router by getting me to download some dodgy software onto my 'phone or PC. Never had the problem with my previous provider - which leads me to question why it started so quickly after the switch? Will persevere but if it doesn't get better soon I'll switch providers.

AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. NOW TV fibre broadband went live on 22/05/19. Constant problems with intermittent connection; phone line constantly stops working altogether; very low broadband speeds.
All of my previous ISP's were providing a good service with no service issues.
MY ADVICE: AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ANY COST. Total failure to respond to, or resolve, customer complaints. Hours wasted on phone calls to NOW TV. Incompetent staff. No customer service whatsoever. Matter still not resolved after more than 6 months!

The worst internet I’ve used. I REPEAT the worst… Can’t even do anything for 5 minutes and it starts crashing upon me, would definitely not recommend. I’ve been with these for 2 month and I’ve had to reboot internet over well 20 times , this should run at 70mbps apparently but it’s been on 8mbps for me ever since it got set up.

After being with Now TV for 12 months. I had to re apply for broadband as I needed to change the name the account was in which was fair enough. Was told this will take 2 weeks, after 2 weeks and hearing nothing I called up to ask why my broadband hadn't been activated. They told me my application to open reach had been rejected and there was no way of knowing why that was. They didn't contact me at all to let me know and if i hadn't of called they probably never would have. Told me I have to re-apply which takes another 2 weeks.
Customer service was awful, no-one knew anything, constantly being moved to different departments. Even though I was speaking to people they might as well have been AI because they were basically robots. One of the worst companies I've dealt with, there's hundreds of other broadband providers out there so I suggest you use someone else.

Been with them for over a year now. Purchased their WiFi as it was the cheapest on the market for where we were living and it was our first house. The connection was crummy but I put that down to us living in a very old house. Unfortunately when we moved to our new flat around 6 months later the connection was even worse. I had contacted them to arrange the move and they were fairly helpful (if you use the online chat) but withheld the fact they would be charging me for said move. Something I asked about multiple times and always received the answer no. After checking through my package a few weeks ago I noticed that 1 my broadband speeds were way below what I was guaranteed and also that they had raised my bill and neglected to tell me. Their broadband gets less than 1mbps upload speed and highest download I’ve ever had is just over 8mbps. Really not worth the money and hassle. You’ll use your mobile data more than their broadband.

Absolutely diabolical company. Signed up with them on 22 August and activation on 06 September. Was clearly told that no engineer was required and I did not have to do anything on that date, just plug it. The day came, Openreach called to say they were on their way to the property to set it up. I'm in West London so not able to let them in. NOW didn't bother to tell me they couldn't set it up, I had to call them. Gave them 3 dates that I could do for set up, that I would be in for. Which has to be 10 days later. 6 days later, still haven't heard anything from them so phoned up. They clearly had not passed my dates on to Openreach as they requested them again and the earliest date available was now much later than originally offered. Gave up in the end and went with EE.
Trying to get hold of this company is actually ridiculous. In 2 days, I spent it total, 2 hours and 25 minutes on hold.
Would never recommend. Lowest price, but worst experience.
