If I could give ZERO I would.
I had my internet from NOW installed beginning of January. From the day after the engineer arrived internet didn't work. I reported the fault 9th March on moving into the property. NOW confirmed they will send an engineer round . I received a text message the beginning of the week confirming the engineer will come round and replied yes to being at home that day. The morning of the visit came, I receive another text message confirming the engineer will be round between 1-6pm and that if no one is in you may be charged £25. I stayed at home the afternoon waiting for the engineer to come, only for 5.30pm to roll around with no engineer in sight. I call customer service to find out no one was ever going to come because it is an external issue. I asked to be cancel my membership and be reimbursed for the loss of service I incurred. This still hasn't happened. Multiple phone calls to CS only to find out I will only be refunded £12!?! After I've paid £80 for a service that never worked and that also wasted my day and meant I had a loss of income on the day that I waited for the engineer to come. Useless, time wasters, rude, disrespectful. Don't go with this company.

0840 on a Sunday morning and trying to talk to someone at Now. Taken through various menus which you have to listen to in full before you are allowed to select an option. Then advised the department is closed. Opening hours are 0830 to 2000 7 days a week. Standard fare from another parasite company that exists to provide minimal service while trying to bleed as much money as possible from their customer base.

I never write bad reviews, but I'm absolutely forced to with this shoddy service
Meant to install on a Thursday, engineer never turned up, called to complain then they rearranged later this week, never turned up again and customer services blamed me for this despite getting confirmation, and refused to do anything to help stating that open reach was an external service, which whilst is true to not care about a customers predicament when I explained I was in desperate need for wifi for work is extremely unprofessional.Immediately cancelled and once I switched to Vodafone things where sorted in the week. Avoid now broadband like the plague as they clearly don't value the customer

Avoid at all costs. Used to be really good when the CS team were in Ireland & had authority to change things. Now, it's all scripted from somewhere abroad and the CS (I use that term VERY lightly can only go through the pre-defined motions of the script provided. A lot of dropouts of the service, almost daily although when it worked, the speeds were as advertised but the frequency of this happening has reduced drastically. The router provided has an appalling range and very difficult to get the settings from to move to another type.
The final straw however is the intentionally deceitful wording on the email they send when the contract has around a month to run... I followed the instructions as copied & pasted below:
"Do nothing and continue with your existing membership for £23.49 a month. Or Pick from one of the packages available to you below".
I did nothing and then received saw that NOW had charged me £46.50. Queried it and they said to check the very bottom of the email where buried is a small section saying you'll lose your discounts. Cynical, misrepresentation & just downright sneaky. No offer of a refund & the new offer I could have was worse than the offers available for existing customers. CS could not care that I was leaving & just said that i need to give 2 weeks notice if I did.
Like others, I'll be forwarding the email onto the ombudsman for investigation.
Don't do it, I stayed as long as I did as they were the only ones offering a monthly rolling contract, with that gone & them just being a "me too" now, definitely not worth putting up with the almost non existent CS, poor speeds, dropouts & almost not for purpose router. You have been warned! Not just by me but read below too...

Please do not waste your hard earned money on Now or Nowtv. They do not allow you un-subscribe without using 3rd party arbitration. Also highly inflate the monthly subscription bill there-after.

I have for a whole month tried logging into my NOW account to cancel and every single time it says that the log in is not working at this moment. I have tried contacting them which also has not worked. This is an extremely unreliable company. Do not recommend.

I give Now a zero rating for customer service and satisfaction, I have requested a "shift and lift" on the line into a property ( in other words to move where the line comes in) Now firstly couldn't understand what was required and sent a fault engineer and now deny they can order this from Openreach, who tell me only the phone supplier can order a line shift. Absolutely hopeless don't go to Now.

I have absolutely no complaints about Now Broadband. Been with them for years with no problems. Only had one outage which was fixed quickly and I was compensated for this. Average speed always above promised speed even at peak time. Don't believe all the so called reviews on this site!

Like others received an email to say am now out of contract and have choices.
One is to continue at current price plus other options that all were dearer.
To stay as is you need to do NOTHING.
Now find this is untrue as you have to call them.
Totally misleading email beware.
Customer service is offshore and poor English speaking.
Will be leaving after this year but will involve lots of work transferring everything over.
Have to say have not had problems with the broadband service reliability
Just the totally misleading email
