    It's a total disgrace, do not use this. It's always off for several days at a time and when it's on it's speed is way below promised. They refuse to terminate without fees. Even if you can prove your speeds. They say things like 'try connecting fewer devices" Working from home is impossible.

    I have been so satisfied with the customer service from NowTV. Any time I have had to change anything or needed to cancel, it has been quick, easy and pleasant. The Wi-Fi itself has been quite unreliable but have had no trouble with speed or anything like that.

    The 12 month package with Super Fibre was very good for students, the cheapest option we could find and generally worked.

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

    The price is good, I’m sure the service is good, but the routers are sh1te. I was with talk talk previously for 8 years and only changed due to seeking a better price. The router signal quality is awful. I can sit 25 feet away with a clear line of sight to the router and not have a full signal. The signal is dropping out all the time too. There is no point in having super fast fibre if the routers are cheap and rubbish. I am yet to find a way of reporting this issue to Now as they seem to make it impossible to contact them, hence why I am leaving reviews. If the supplies better quality routers like talk talk do, it would be great.

    I placed an order to go live on 8th June. Checked my order to see when I'll be getting my router. Turns out it will go live on the 24th June! Not happy as I work from home!!! I was not told there was a change.

    Ever since moving into my house I've had intermittent connection issues. The process of diagnosing them with Now has been exceptionally painful. They make it as difficult as possible to reach the customer service and technical teams, and so far (11 months) the issue has not been resolved.

    Now has consistently been difficult and are uninterested in finding the problem, even going so far as to say full internet dropouts are cause by too many connected devices. Surely a modern router can handle a few phones, two desktops and a few laptops? Either way, the issue still persists when just a single pc is connected via ethernet cable.

    I take every opportunity to convince friends and family to avoid their service, but for most of my neighbours who also use Now don't need much convincing.

    Now let themselves down with the old routers the provide. Had issues since day 1 (multiple connection drops) which were never related to the broadband supply coming in, but devices connecting to their hub/router (basically if more than 4 things are connected at once you risk issues). I’ve had replacement hubs, long phone calls to tinker with settings, openreach visits to relay cable…you name it, but still the cutouts remain. Considering we work from our home this is a big problem! After 6 months we finally decided to switch elsewhere!

    If you’re a casual user, you might get by without issues - otherwise if you do you’ll need a better router, and Now won’t tell you which other router models work with their setup.

    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 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.
