    If only I could give minus five stars
    Avoid like the plague
    Absolute junk of a router, weaker than a nun’s fart, and the customer service is really poor
    You get what you pay for. There is a reason why these cowboys are so cheap

    Absolute crap, has to be the worse broadband I have ever experienced. The wifi won't even reach the bedroom above. The signal has never been full downstairs now for 3 wks. I wish I never signed up. BT we're far better.

    I had NOW broadband in a rented flat for 5 months without any real issues, however, when I bought a place and went to move, that was a different story.

    I gave them 2 weeks notice as required and was told that on my move in day, the broadband would be connected and working, which is great as 99% of the time I work from home.
    However, the morning of my move, the engineer cancelled. NOW TV blamed the BT engineer and the BT engineer blamed NOW TV, as I had requested an afternoon service and the had booked a morning one.
    So, I basically had no broadband. I then realistically had to take a days holiday on the Monday to try sort this out and NOW broadband told me that they could get an engineer booked in 12 days time, which I told them was unacceptable.
    Luckily on the Monday I managed to pay for and connect to a BT WiFi hotspot for 5 days (which I then had to again5 days later).
    Eventually 12 days later, my broadband was up and in one of NOW's emails, there was a link for Ofcom’s automatic compensation scheme.
    I called NOW and made then aware that I was only looking to get back the 2 x £19.99 I had paid.
    After chasing for nearly 2 weeks, they have basically offered me the equivalent of £1 per day.
    When I told them I wanted to cancel, they then told me I would have to pay an early redemption fee as the broadband speed is good.
    So to stop me being out of pocket, I am taking my holiday back and my company are going to invoice them for the days work I missed because of them *which is significantly more that my annual subscription)..
    Probably get nothing back, as their customer service abysmal, atrocious, disgusting, horrific and 100% an utter disgrace.

    DO NOT by NOW products... you have been warned !

    We constantly have to disconnect and reconnect. I use more of my mobile data than I do the actual WiFi because on WiFi there’s a constant loading sign! It’s just ridiculous. Look else where because it’s not worth the money and we too will be moving to another provider as soon as possible!

    Now tv broadband is the worst broadband I have ever had. The range is appalling… 5 metres from it and it fails. Even when you can see the router it is rubbish. As soon as the contract ends I’m changing. Avoid avoid avoid !
