Awful service. Promised callbacks after two cancelations (due to their incorrect filling in of address) never followed through. I was left waiting, paid for delivery twice only to be cancelled, and told the following day that the broadband speed offer was never even available for my area. Ridiculous!

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

This is easily the worst broadband I've ever had. It keeps cutting out, and when it is running, it is so slow. I also had to buy an extender because it's so crap. Avoid at all costs, it's a bunch of complete rubbish. DO NOT BUY!!!

Having a nightmare with this company over something which seems simple. I cannot access some websites I need to as they are blocked by NOW. I cannot update my preferences as my account does not appear to be linked to my broadband they tell me. Using the link they provided tried to link this but, although I am entering the correct information, it says I am not and can get no further with it. Have phoned their customer service who had no clue. Someone did phone me back and went through the same steps of trying via the same link with no success. She then told me someone from their IT would be in touch - three weeks ago and heard nothing. On their community forum it appears this problem has been ongoing for the past 3 and a half years. Now any emails or complaints forms I fill in are being ignored. That's their customer service for you - abysmal. I am out of contract in November, sent them an email to say as they cannot solve my problem I would like confirmation that if I move to another provider I will not have to pay any charges for early cancellation. Ignored.

Absolutely the worst fibre Broadband I’ve ever had, in the time I’ve been with them I’ve had 2 new rooters and 3 now tv boxes due to failures! With the broadband the only thing they love to repeat is “ we can’t control hiw reliable your network is when your wireless” then why have I never had this problem with any other services before then??? They then go on to say well how many devices are connected at once at Max only ever 3 mobiles and still it cuts out! I’ve even put in a WiFi repeater and even with that it looses the now broadband! Honestly please listen to this warning ⚠️ Do not go with NoW tv broadband!!!

I had a contract for phone and broadband that was billed at £23.50 per month.
I received an email reminder on the 2nd February 2024 that my contract was about to end saying it will continue at 23.50 per month if i do nothing:
"Do nothing and continue with your existing membership for £23.50 a month".
Further down the email it says:
Keep what you have:
From 03/03/2024 you will pay:
£23.50 a month
(No contract, keeps rolling unless cancelled, cancel anytime)
Super Fibre
63 Mbps Average Speed, Unlimited Downloads, includes Line Rental
Anytime calls
To choose this option you don't have to do a thing.
However my bill for March was £46.50, an extra £23!
I have called Now and was told that I should have scrolled to the end of the email for further details.. I was also told that the offer was no longer available and the new contract would be £33 per month.
Misleading and deceitful communication. AVOID!

Tried to get an assessment of area coverage but doesn't recognise my landline number as valid. I tried repeatedly, I know my own lanline number, I've had it for 11 years. Tried to contact customer service but just not available, so no solution. Anyway, seems they don't really want paying customers or to provide solutions so may have dodged a bullet.

Couldn't even get started. Coverage checker wouldn't recognise my phone number which I've had for 20 years. Contacted a rep on Twitter, showed them the screenshot, then they told me to phone them on a number which I had to pay for. If that's how they treat potential customers, it's a bad sign, so will avoid.

Ok so no, it's not the best broadband I've ever had but it gets the job done. I live in a small flat and there are still issues with coverage. What I must say though us their customer service has been excellent. They answer straight away, give clear and helpful advice and are just open and honest, I called around 4 to 5 times in total with several different queries and every person was excellent. Very good price, shame they don't supply my new address! No hassle to cancel at all 10/10 service - thank you! Keep doing what you're doing

Firstly I will say I have not yet switched so that I cannot comment on Speed and Reliability.
I am in the process of switching to NOW, butt after reading the awful reviews I rang up to cancel in the cooling off period. Upon calling them, they picked up straight away, Kara I believe was the ladies name, very polite, very helpful, informed me that the team I needed weren't yet online and offered to call me back once they were in for me to complete my request. As promised, I received a call back and she put me through to the relevant team. Around 2 minutes wait or so, a chap called Jamie answered. I raised my concerns about the poor reviews in particular the router issues, he was informative about the speed I could receive and that all of the providers would have to go through the same lines. He reassured my that I can try the service for 31 days to see if I would be satisfied and also threw in the entertainment package upon request. I am aware that they are the sales team and the goal is to keep me, but I think it is fair for me to give them a try for myself as my experience has only been positive. The other reason I like them is that there is no fee for moving house as we may be doing in 6 months. I will look forward to updating the review once connected but I have to say well done so far, certainly service leaps and bounds ahead of virgin and talktalk! To be continued...

Tried to set up now broadband as the cheapest, website makes you put in bank details and doesn't leave you able to request a set up date, but to set a date for engineer to visit, which now realise is the date, but you can't change the date, request set up date everything leads to calling customer service which is abroad hard to understand, where they keep you waiting while they ask colleagues, update your account, then can't do this simple request think this is a scam to keep people on phone for long time and then results in telling you to call back in a day or two, ended up just requesting cancellation and asked for email to confirm cancelled, didnt get anything, only a customer survey which I completed. I am a rational person and wanted cheaper broadband but now reading other reviews realise that any problem would result in calling the helpline and really shoddy rude 'service' and I hadn't even got to starting with them, however doing this enabled me to get a better deal from my current provider as they had gone to the step of requesting having the same number from my provider.....DONT DO IT!

payment system nightmare as not accept direct debits and card payments have failed on many occasions down to their system error despite putting in new card their system fails to still take payments, so i get late payment emails, since day one . This is the only company which charges a £1 fee to change card as far as i know and takes forever to return it. If ever. Everything automated or online which is not good if problems. When signed up took 2 months to sort connection problems. when contract comes up for renewal, moving on never to return

No problem with the service for a Fibre Broadband you wont beat this on price. BTW the router for Fibre (Hub 2)is a re-badged sky router and generally acknowledged to be best in the market; oh and if you want to contact them just click on link at bottom of there web page. Like someone said any speed out dropout issues whoever the provider will be down to BT who maintain the line network

I'm sorry to see all these bad reviews, but I'm very satisfied with Now Broadband. Previously I've had BT, Plusnet and Sky. Now are nice and inexpensive, I just have the cheapest service as I'm not too far from the exchange. It's just as fast as what I had with the others and fast enough for iplayer in HD. If you've got poor speeds and unreliability maybe it's your phone phone line. Also, yes, the router isn't good for Wifi but I use the one I had from Plusnet, changing the settings which can be found with an internet search. I get a deal with inclusive free mobile and landline phone calls but if this finishes I may move to a local fibre network.

It's a lousy company. It's displayed a contact customer service number 03303323050 constant engaged. You can't get through no matter what time of day that you're calling. Last time I was offline for 10days. And I had tried to contact them more than 100 times. Still engaged. Since then it's a hour here. 10-12 hours there. Or sometime a whole weekend with out internet. Is it what you called a good service provider. Thank you Now Broadband now all I really wanted to say is I wasted to terminate my contract with you.

I have been with now broadband for nearly a year,and as my contract was coming to an end,and they were increasing my price from £25 to£40 decided to leave.
I sent them a separate email(no reply) and took the appropriate action 10 working days before the end, I changed to Plusnet,and as expected,everything turned up on time,internet speeds were faster,and the Router was much better spec.
So far so good,until I checked my online banking,only to find a pending charge for £40-97 on my app.
I contacted Resolve,and raised the complaint,which went through and NOW TV replied with apologies,said it was an error,and they would monitor it and get a credit through! That was the 6th July,,I looked at my statement again on the 8th July,and sure enough the £40-97 had been taken out???????
As it is taken off your debit card,not a direct debit,you cannot stop it with any ease,so despite a further two complaints through resolve I still have had no correspondence or refund!
Do NOT use this company(Sky owned)
Their speeds are erratic,their service to customers is to be polite rubbish,and as far as I am aware,the only broadband provider to take it from your debit card rather than DD as all others I have ever dealt with.

The customercare is worst. They won't care about your urgency and also if the date they commit, it can extend with a simple word (sorry).
I have shifted house and the real issue triggered, The dates are missed 2 times already and not sure, if this time will be fixed or would be same story. Struggling to work and they can't help. I would say worst service.

We've recently switched from PlusNet to NOW Broadband and are very disappointed with the speed. Despite the fact that the speed is supposed to be a guaranteed minimum of 27.7 Mbps, ours is regularly less than 10 Mbps.

I have never left a review but feel compelled to on this occassion. Terrible Fibre Broadband coupled with equally terrible, rude customer service staff who could not give a damn about any issue you have. I regret the day I ever switched to this company.

Generally not bad, but when my creditcard expired, instead of reaching out in a nice way - they sent aggressive OVERDUE letter, I couldn't update my CC information and then they cut off my broadband, calling them took nearly an hour on the phone most of it on hold.

I am very pleased with the standard of service that's been provided. The line has by and large been very reliable and stable, and in the entire first year there has been only one episode of outage which lasted overnight. I can't fault the service provided by the call centres either, they factored in my request as an existing customer for better terms in my new contract.
I would highly recommend this provider.

Worst broadband experience all round.
I went with now TV as the broadband package was the best deal at the time for a respectable speed of 35mbs.
Wi-fi has been intermittent and cuts out randomly crashing computer games and leaving tv shows buffering over the last 9 months. It cannot handle more than one device at a time.
Upon calling NowTV for technical support they said everything was fine with my network and told me to run a diagnostics test on their website but they did not know how I could navigate to it!
Upon asking about cancellation they said I would incur a cancellation fee of £30.
I've had internet with many providers and this has been by far the worst.

NOW TV failed to turn up to install the Broadband, only to let me know they would not make the appointment after the appointment time.
I have since cancelled the order, but I am now struggling to get a refund. Initially I was told they could not refund my credit and and had to send a cheque, which has never arrived. All of my follow up Emails have been ignored.
I have now had to get the credit card company involved, to process the refund.

The people were polite. But always around in circles. Their product is poor and they worm every way out of letting me leave for a better supplier. Despite me having proof of the far below guaranteed speeds. They use BT's lines, just go to BT or anybody else!

Only had Internet service for 3 days and decided it was rubbish.
They suggested I manually change channels on my router when Internet was slow.

Called me the day before install to say "it cancelled- we can't explain why would you like us to resubmit or leave it cancelled"
Nothing before then- no texts or anything to say there was an issue. Still waiting on a refund.

Absolutely diabolical. Terrible service, no communication. The left hand doesn't know the right exists.
Seriously don't change to this provider. I feel like I am going to implode and they haven't even set my broadband up yet. I can't begin to explain the problems I've had and we are not even switched yet. I am trying desperately to make sure we don't get switched. Please don't make the same mistake we have. Steer well clear.

Installed 3 months ago, moved from Virgin, what a nightmare, got super fibre thinking it would be good, it drops off on a daily basis it, the speed is slow, Netflix buffers on SD, the hub is 10m away front the TV with no walls, I complained and they said they would send a specialist engineer out from Openreach, he advised that everything was OK(equipment and connection) but the WiFi was just poor, I called NOWTV and they said they don't guarantee a wireless service only a wired service and it would cost me £70 to cancel, joke, AVIOD LIKE THE PLAGUE!! Back to Virgin for me

Always drops out. Reported faults, they admitted the problem was at their end and told me it would be fixed within 72 hours. A week later no broadband at all. If you ring customer service at any time of day or night there is always at least 20mins delay to be answered. Usually more like 40 mins. Decided to change provider as Now TV is RUBBISH.
