literally don't understand how now tv have the cheek to charge you for this. My old dial up Internet was quicker and more consistent than this. Absolute load of **** don't waste your money or time as that's all you'll do waiting for something to download.

Just don’t bother even thinking about joining them, used them for 2 years at 2 different locations and never got even close to the “guaranteed” speeds. Customer service doesn’t exist as far as I’m concerned you might as well call a brick wall, least you know what you’re in for. Not had many issues with the internet dropping but when it does...it does, and it doesn’t come back till you’re too pissed of to even wanna use it. Heap of rubbish, stick to playing outside.

Ordered Nowtv broadband to replace Sky. Was not told it cannot replace Sky because Sky provide a 4 ethernet connection hub but Nowtv only provide a 2 ethernet connection hub. So broadband being cut off today, I have to choose to lose 2 devices, Digital TV, Nowtv, Sky or Computer. I really could have used a little information/warning before ordering, that their hub was a really basic model and not compatible with the service they are replacing

Where do I start?! Applied online 18th November to move to Now from PlusNet, given a start date of 2nd December during the process. Order failed. Multiple orders subsequently placed, all failed. REPEATEDLY told useless staff issue needed escalating, REPEATEDLY ignored. Ombudsman utter waste of time (industry bias). Finally lost it and emailed CEOs of Now (Sky), BT Openreach, PlusNet etc. Issue resolved by BT Openreach who found an issue between two systems. Still no help from Now other than placing further order. On 11th February Now advised I was entitled to compensation for the delay (114 days from start to end). Bear in mind they didn’t bother to even attempt to resolve the issue, they are now stating that as the start date was not confirmed (it was, albeit during the initial order process and verbally by staff, not by email) I am not entitled to compensation. They subscribe to an ‘automatic compensation’ scheme. Clearly nothing automatic about it, clearly they think it’s acceptable to breach their own policies, clearly a joke of a company. Off to the equally useless Ombudsman again, and the press (having been told by Now that emailing others slows the process which is both ironic and a threat). Their broadband is absolutely nothing to write home about either. Just do yourself a favour, take account of all these poor reviews, they are poor for a reason. Go elsewhere. Honestly. Anywhere but Now. It’s just not worth the stress.

Switched online to NowBroadband from Virgin, then Virgin called us with a better deal. Cancelled the contract with NowBoradband within the cooling period.
However, they kept taking direct debits for 4 months and after spending hours with their useless customer service team on the phone, will still now refund our monies. Haven't even been connected to their service. In my opinion: thieves - stay away.
I recommend switching between EE and Virgin every 2 years to keep on good deals. Both have better service and speeds.

I waited over 2 months since joining Now TV and still had no internet or phone service! I had to do all the calling and chasing. No updates. I was always promised an Engineer would come out within 5 days but this Engineer never appeared in over 2 months. I was then charged for the privilege of no service whatsoever, promised a refund which never materialised. Funnily enough after wasting over 2 months of my life, which cost me money, & zero compensation, I cancelled my ‘services.’ I am now with Virgin Media who in comparison were helpful, quick, easy, and better all round! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND NOW TV TO ANYONE, DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS SHOCKING COMPANY!

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.

Never had customer service this exceptional. Reported no service on Sunday due to broken outside cables. Jess from Now TV was so helpful. Knowledgeable and friendly. Engineer called Tuesday for repair.
Very impressed with this company. Excellent broadband at very reasonable price.

Ordered a now broadband hub in the 27th of February, I was told my broadband will go live by 9th march which was then changed to the 10th without any notification. I contacted now on the tenth to raise concerns that my broadband was still not live. And they had technical problems with bt openzone to which my internet will be active within 72 working hours. Frustratingly, waited until the 15th march to then see my internet was still not active. I've contacted them today to yet again be told bt are aware and working on resolving the problem and they will have a ANSWER for me by the 23rd of march. Which also means my internet may still be not active.
Very poor customer service having been misguided from the very first phonecall I've had with NOW BROADBAND.
Broadband speed is non existent and doesn't deserve a 1* rating but it's the lowest option available.
Broadband reliability isn't reliable at all as I'm left frustrated and overall I'm very distressed by the whole service.
If you are looking for broadband I'd advise anyone to search elsewhere rather than opt for NOW.

Going from Virgin was a risk but it am on brilliant broadband after a few teething problems caused by old line connections getting great typical speed and streaming now tv , can use I pad for movies etc good home reception and saving money . I have wasted a lot of cash on fast fibre I didn’t need. So goodbye Virgin. I highly recommend now broadband I guess others have been unlucky . Don’t hesitate to join or switch .

Don't even think about NowTV Broadband! Placed an order then got a phone call saying it was cancelled and that I would have to phone up the next day and re-order! WHY? No answer. So, foolishly I did. 2 days later another phone call saying they couldn't do the switch over and that I would have to- unlike any other broadband provider I've had previously. Customer service is a thick Irish accent which I couldn't understand either. Whoever wrote the positive review I suggest is a NowTV employee, has to be. Utter rubbish. I cancelled immediately.

so far so good (three weeks), switched from origin (different review), during sign up estimated speed was 4-8Mb/s (due to line), after 10 days (settling) period speed was just below 4Mb/s and going off once a day.
I spoke with customer services and after a few line checks an appointment was made for an engineer.
BT engineer visit next day - changed master socket, checked wiring, got the line reset - instant 7.5Mb/s and has been stable since. Pleased so far.

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

Worst level of service for new customers! signed up 2 times and they keep cancelling without any notification. Called about 4 times and every time staff are rude and unapologetic. Very disappointed but glad this happened now before I could join them.

buyers beware! I ordered their (very reasonably) priced Brilliant Broadband with free anytime calls package for £18 per month (first year). I was therefore very surprised when my first month's bill was £62.70. When challenged they explained that I had apparently ordered the package without free calls (although it was the same cost). Also their order confirmation, confirmed this. This "clearly" states: "pay as you use calls: £0.00", which I took to mean that they were free. They said it meant that there were no calls included. Needless to say as soon as my mandatory period ends, I will be off...

Service is good. Customer service is non existent. Only tv customers can chat online. Broadband customers have to call but no number is listed on website or in member area. Online bot just sends you to member area.i changed payment details but they still trying to take from old details. Obviously they don't want my money lol

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

I can't believe what I just heard. I've had no internet since Saturday. I had to tell them this. I spoke to the customer care team and two different experiences: the employee in India was fantastic, the one in England offered no help other than to start all over again.
The Indian employee arranged for an engineer to come today. I knew that would never happen anyway but I hoped, for the sake of my elderly mother, who is now cut off from her grandchildren remotely.
Turns out that the call for an engineer was never even recorded and the English employee told me to ring back tomorrow and start the whole process again.
Save your money and opt for youfibre. I was an idiot.

So far I'm very disappointed with capabilities of Now broadband service.
I already had a "Nowtv" box and thought it would work really well with Now broadband, it does not. The box performance is very slow compared to previous broadband supplier which surprised me.
I'm having trouble even getting in touch with Now broadband, beginning to wish I'd never changed

Was with Now on ADSL from May 2021. Phoned up in January when I saw a deal offered for Super Fibre at £2 extra and upgraded with no real problem. Customer services were helpful.
Speed on both ADSL and fibre as expected.
One 8 hour outage in 9 months.
Overall happy with service.

Worst customer service experience of my life. 3 weeks and still no broadband even after notifying them weeks in advance. Was assured that we would receive compensation but now being told that we are not eligible because we have switched to other provider (after they told us to order and cancel on 4 separate occasions). Avoid like the plague.

2+ months after cancelling my account, and I am still being contacted to pay for the past 2 months. After contacting them to find out why this has happened they deny that I cancelled the contract, even though they admit that they cancelled the services. Still, they insist I pay the money if I want to use their service in future (will also affect credit rating). A disgusting way to treat a customer and cheap way to make an extra few pounds.

Router is seemingly useless outside any room it’s in. Speed is as advertised so can’t really complain there. Customer service is ridiculously bad. I submitted a complaints form two days after installation (bearing in mind I had a 2 week period available to cancel with no charge or repercussions) and they contacted me after 18 days!
Hilariously bad. If I weren’t moving again soon I would’ve cancelled after day one due to bad router.

Please train your call canter staff to stop lying and misleading customers. I have called 4 times over the last 2 weeks and have been reassured that I can both renew my contract and move house seamlessly. Today, after waiting for 1.5 hours on the phone, I got told that I will remain within broadband in my new address for a full week as I need to wait for an engineer - I had called 2 weeks ago to request this and got told that "IT doesn't allow to process the change of address" and to call in 10 days.
Given Now wanted to leave me without broadband for a week, I called them and requested to cancel. I waited 40 minutes again bringing the total phone time to over 2 hours. The advisor initially said that "we cannot cancel the contract because there has been a home move initiated" - this is ridiculous and a lie. After 30 min on the phone with him, just about when he was going to finallise all the cancellations the line conveniently cut off. I called again, and apparently nothing had been processed - again, very bad practice to play tricks like this. When I called the second time, the advisor told me that I will incur cancellation charges if I cancel my contract in an attempt to stop me from doing so - again, this is a lie as I was within my "cooling period" of 14 days.
The above signals either severe incompetence across your customer support staff, or a company culture of deceit. It has and will continue to result in loss of customer goodwill. I would suggest you address this immediately.

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!

This company is THE DEVIL. I cannot believe how a company like can be in business. I've moved into my new house and the internet connection has been a NIGHTMARE. I've got a fever from how stressful I was, I'm not joking. Impossible to get in touch with them, left with no internet for 5 days, no clue what was going on, they got my address wrong, now they've sent me an email saying someone else is moving into my flat and they had to cancel my contract.. like.. what the hell?? Not to talk about the internet speed, trash. Cannot believe they provide a connection this slow in 2018. EMBARASSING. I can say with confidence that NowTv is the WORST company I've come across in my whole life. What a joke.
