I have had so many issues with the signal and connection speed. I’ve spoken to customer services who were lovely and tried to be helpful and I was given instructions about how to try changing channel but while it is fine some days, other days it feels like being back in the 90’s with the little thing just spinning around on the screen and nothing loading. I just use my phone data often as it gets so annoying but what’s the point of giving NOW my money! Currently looking elsewhere…

Woeful. Awful. Worst decision to move to Now. Terrible router makes the whole thing unbearable. Stand at the router you’ll get fast download - move two metres away or try and connect multiple devices and you’re wasting your time. Apple devices - forget it. Just terrible. As others have said - polite but disempowered customer service staff who can’t help. Avoid at all costs

I was trying to join Now Broadband but they could not get my address correct. It was shown in three different ways, two of which were incorrect so I tried to get it altered. It took 25 minutes to speak to someone. I then decided that this really was not for me and called the Cancellation line. After 53 minutes, yes 53 minutes I gave up. If this is for new customers I hate to think what it is like for current customers.

Had the service about a year and it’s never really worked well. I use a network extender to try to generate a strong signal but still drops in and out .
I won’t be renewing.

Good speed but signal drops off rapidly compared to BT and Plusnet routers. Unreliable on large downloads.
Only 2 ethernet ports - just too few.

Big scam company they advertise there broadband cheap to get you to sign up but then they dont supply the said speeds or service, in fact from day one my internet did not work at all. I tried to phone Now but it is impossible to get through to a real person everything is just automated. I then tried to email them but again just got automated replies non of which helped. I then tried the live chat on there website but turns out its not live at all its just a computer. The problem was at there end not mine and because i could not get hold of a real person to explain the situation i could not try and sort the problem out so in the end i had no choice but to cancel the payments at my bank as i was paying for something that i never got or had. Now i am getting emails and letters demanding money for charges for leaving early. Mybe if they had proper customer services where you can actually talk to a real person then mybe i wouldnt of had to cancel at my bank and leave early. Now breaks there own contracts and terms by not supplying the promised service, they take money from your bank for something they never gave and when you dare to cancel they will take no responsibilily and blame everything on you and add charges and threaten you with legal action. I am taking this to watchdog as i am pretty sure its illegal to offer a service then not give it but still take money and add charges when they havent even supplied the service in the first place, just think of the world we would live in if everyone did that. Avoid this company like the plague there scam artists.

No contact phone numbers (that work)so no one to contact; so no customer services = they don't really want customers; as seemingly wrong information on their web pages there's no way of clarifying.

Overall I've found my Now Broadband has been fairly reliable and fast. I have been with Now for 3 years and they continue to provide some of the most competitively priced broadband on the market, which for the price performs very reasonably! I only once have had issues with my broadband, which was sorted quickly by their customer service team who seemed to genuinely want to help me.

Absolute rubbish company. Installed Wednesday and been off and on ever since. If you use their online form nothing happens, if you call them expect 30 plus minutes of muzak. My advice is don't ever consider this company for any kind of broadband supply.

I have never received even close to 40mbps which is well below expectations. When I raised this with their customer service I noted three strange occurrences - a. Their email responses to my queries were always answered by the same individual (strange?) b. within minutes of EVERY one of my email questions my internet connection failed for about 15-30 minutes (too regular to be a coincidence) and c. They maintain that if I change ISP I will lose my landline number??? ALL VERY STRANGE...

awful service, no broadband for 3 weeks, having to ring 5+ times for total non answers blaming openreach, was told every time someone would be in touch but nobody ever was, but hey, at least i was told i would be compensated right? wrong, when enquiring further about the compensation i was told i wouldnt be getting any and my account specifically was denied this, absolutely shockking especially with people working from home and having wifi is vital for this to work. and to top it all off theyve charged me 5.68 for calls i didnt make. do not go with this company, absolutel d***heads

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.

Transferred from Talk Talk everything ok speed 37 instead of 1.5 so good but when I looked at phone they had given me a new number?I ticked on online form that I wanted to keep my number that I have had for 35 years as at the moment my disabled in-laws have social care and if there is a problem we are first call so I will have to try and inform everybody my new number!!!! Now say I ticked box to say I did not want my number? Does anybody know how to get my number back as it is causing a lot of stress.

Absolutely horrific speeds, was promised around 11mbps download speed and instead got around 0.5mbps to around 6mbps maximum. The only time I get any reasonable speed is around. Pages take around 3-10 minutes to load properly, games take around 5-40 minutes to connect to, anything above 1mb in size takes around 2-3 minutes to upload. For some reason their phone lines close at 5PM on a weekday. Spent most of my time on the internet connecting to things and waiting for things to load in.
Abhorrent provider, don't go anywhere near them or even consider getting their internet plans. STAY AWAY!

I have used Now TV for broadband for just under a year now, they have been very consistent with the download speed and I have had no issues with the connection. Compared to Vodaphone who were worst than useless Now TV have been easy to deal with and reliable.

although i have been reasonably happy with Now broadband for just over two years,, I am not happy with the latest episode.
Without notice my monthly bill doubled from £24 to £45.50
Tried contacting them, over and over,, but the "chat bot" system doesnt let you get to where you want to get. Just keeps asking for my details. Even though i had put the details on the so called chat.
Eventually found a way to have a live chat, and it wasnt easy to find.
Person asked all the relevant questions,, answers i had already given, again and again. Eventually told me,, "no account in that name or email address" Even though i told hin, "i have the bill in my hand,,"
Eventually, accepted,, yes there is an account..
Kept saying he would check the account, etc,, several times, with more intersperced " can you give me your name, address, email, etc,,, again several times.
Eventually stated,, !i will have to pass this over to the broadband team.. I explained i had clicked and begun the chat,, with the "broadband enquiry link"
I asked to have explanation why my bill had doubled, even though i have not used my pc or phone more than usual. He didnt have an answer.
I asked to be refunded,, he "i cant do that, will get the broadband team to email you" This comment,, three times, when i simply stated "not good enough"
He couldnt pass me to the "team" for several reasons.
me,, "not good enough"
Over and over, round and round we went.
He siad i should phone the Nowbroadband,, but the cost would have to be paid by me, so i declined. I asked him to "get someone to phone me" but again he couldnt even do that.
So,, all together, two hours on this useless chat,, and one hour trying to contact them in other ways..
My final comment to this assistant, "i have broadband deals up on my pc as we speak," and " if this is not sorted out in one hour,, i am leaving Nowbroadband." Repeated each time he again said he cant do anything,, My final communication to the chat was, "bye bye Now."
So,,, i am looking at other broadband deals,
I gave feedback,, but i dont think anyone takes any notice depite the words" feedback is important to us, it helps us to improve our service"

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.

Now TV Broadband Review
Now TV Broadband Review. ADVOID unless you want added stress every single month just to simply pay your bill. Their website is diabolical to the point it takes a few hours study just to get a simple answer (mainly to get there CS Number which is hidden away). Their customer service is mediocre with each staff member seemingly giving different answers and different solutions. I've been in hospital recently and all I wanted to do was pay my bill, which for some reason there site didn't allow.
I called them to which I was put through to someone lacking in any training as well as customer service skills. finally had the strength to try again this morning called them and they said "oh it did go through yesterday let me turn your services back on" this clearly shows lacking not only in your system but your payment system as well. All I can say is I've had enough and will leaving you guys by the end of the month. after this ordeal whether I'm still under contact or not I have no trust in your company anymore and I need a reliable service for work reasons.
I guess cheap comes with stress, but no more we've had enough and can't wait to see the back of you guys to be honest.

I became a member of NowTV in August and looked forward to having my internet done at my new place in September. I reserved an engineer with them to do the set-up on the 14th which is 2 weeks after I moved in, there has no other available slot earlier than that. and end up nobody showed up.
I called NowTV to see if there has any problem, and turned out they said they got informed that Openreach has rejected the installation so they cannot proceed further. They have also mentioned that they will chase up Openreach and will give me a call back the next day, which never happened.
It is very poor for a company to not let the customer know that the broadband request didn't go through. The reason for it is the staff have inputted the wrong details, instead of a new line activation, it should be a line takeover.
So it turns out they have let the engineer on the day of the appointment know and they never turned up and failed to let the customer know about the situation.
Very poor customer service raised the case to the complaints team, got a half-hearted apology, along with a one-month credit, which again, would need to wait for 2 weeks to see if the order will actually go live or if it even worked, asked for it to get speed up, as we are now a month in and still no broadband!
We found a better deal using topcashback, but it is for new customers only, have asked if they could transfer the 1month credit....

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.

Been with them a while its good value for money when it's working but once you have a problem it's game over. Over 2 weeks now with no service, had engineer out a week ago for 3 hours couldn't find any faults etc said its probably a problem on now tvs end... now tv said it was my router, told not would be here on the Monday, they never sent it and then bare faced lied to me said it got lost in the post,sent me one eventually and guess what.... Still doesn't work.. There now wanting to send another engineer when we all know the problem lies with them... Will not accept any responsibility whatsoever for the situation just keep asking to be patient.. a would defo avoid unless you want to waste about 50hours a week on the phone trying to get them to fix their problems. Joke of a company

Can’t get signal in next room 3 metres away.
Signal sometimes goes slow/ buffers, in same room as router. This is fibre broadband.
Customer service keep repeating it must be the ‘environment’! won’t accept it is the type of router. Even though I have explained over and over again, I have NEVER had this problem with other broadband services.
Totally dissatisfied

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 have been waiting over two weeks since my broadband was supposed to go live, have been in touch 6 times, every time told I would hear back within 72h. Nobody ever gets back in touch and it is left to me to call again. Horrendous service.

The network has been really poor over the last one year. I called a month earlier to notify them of house move, they said it can't be activated until a certain day but no one activated it. Now I have to wait another 14days. Despite calling them, nothing can be done.

Router is absolutely not fir for purpose and broadband service is incredibly unreliable going down for seemingly no reason at least once a fortnight for hours at a time. Usually late at night when I'm trying to publish for my work. Customer service is non existent, incredibly hard to find any way to contact someone for support. Shockingly bad service through and through and yet as with most things were now stuck until our contract comes to an end. Cannot wait to go back to Vodafone...

12 months after using NowTV broadband I will leave my honest review. After being with sky for 12 months I started looking at deals, cheaper the better. Its only 2 of us in a house so I'm not that bothered about speed. But after using it for a full year, how mistaken was I? The offer was brilliant, £18 a month, free land-line calls and 3 months of NOW TV for free. (used it to watch all GAME OF THRONES). It was a slow burn however as everything was sluggish, like a car losing power and needing a boost everytime to start. The speed is very very slow. Netflix, Internet browsing and general usage was terribly slow. Always freezing and could never get any help. I have now switched providers but I won't tell you who as I do not want to seem biased. Just saying they are fibre optic and it is really fast. Now the same deal is £33 a month!!!! LOL. Just to give you an idea of download speed, I tried downloading an update on PS4 which was 24gb,estimated time 24 hours. With my new fibre broadband, took 1 HR 20 mins.

Premise: I like to be left alone. I hate getting promo emails and being bugged about what 'more' I could get from the service. NowTV leaves you alone - some love this, some hate this.
The one downside is that sometimes they leave you alone a bit too much, like not warning you when the costs are going up because the 12 months of contract are over. But everything else that they could tell you about is just really easy to find on their website, so I actually prefer it.
The offers are very good, especially for someone on a budget, like me.
The broadband was just fine, speed was great, worked great even with several devices connected to the WiFi.
It did occasionally give some problems when it would temporarily stop working (for 10 to 30 minutes) and all you could do was wait - but I'm pretty sure it has more to do with the location of my flat 'cause I had this same exact problem with the previous provider.
Customer service is fine. Actually the best cancelling experience I've ever had. I've recently had to cancel after over a year with them because I'm moving country, and it was all done in 3 minutes. I've always been kept on the phone for half an hour trying to cancel services, instead the operator didn't insist, was very nice throughout, never pushed, and was super helpful in cancelling the plan just before the next payment. Awesome experience right there.
