Awful company - they are basically criminals. Broadband was always slow, didn’t reach certain rooms of the house and frequently cut out. I cancelled after finding a better deal and they still took a full payment from me in the full knowledge I didn’t owe them a penny. I had to call on five separate occasions to get my money back - it took over a month of constant calls, messages and emails to get my refund processed. Stay away from this company, not only will they give you a terrible service - they will openly steal from you.

Avoid altogether. Customer service absolutely appalling and totally unfit for a company in the "communications" industry. Tel access only and that so lengthy they give you a choice of music while you wait !

Genuinely the worst wifi I have ever had. I am constantly on 5G instead because the wifi keeps going out, disconnecting, etc. Save your money and go elsewhere

Absolute disgrace I moved 20 miles down the road and I've had nothing but issues, I called and checked if I could still get the same service I got told yes, I asked if I would pay more I got told no. September I move and I go without a service 2 weeks, when I get a service its weak and it was dropping 7 times a day. Now its December I've had 2 engineer visits and the service is worse its done nothing but drop since Christmas Day evening. I've not even been given any compensation for the 2 weeks I had 0 service yet. I was told when I asked about the higher bill that when I move that happens I asked to go back in a contact they said there is none for this area and then I get an email giving me a right to exit with no fee but they ask me to go onto a contract with them. Makes no sense. It's boxing day and my WiFi drops every 2 -5 mins it's not a service that is fit for what is advertised. The customer service team is hopeless they've not got a clue. They need shutting down.

I cancelled 12 days after I set up NOW broadband. To use my online bank account it was necessary to turn off WiFi and use 4G every time. The same if I needed to access Google. NOW is not fit for purpose. I have another provider and I can go online every time I want - using WiFi.

Terrible Speed. Terrible customer service. I was given instructions to try and test several channels on my router which would take over 3 hours to complete. Can't do this though because the site won't recognise my login details. Awful company . AVOID!

Please please avoid.
Where do I start. I was meant to go live on the 30 August, and it’s now the 1 December and still my account isn’t live. I’ve had 4 engineer appointments scheduled and 4 times no one turned up, without a phone call or text message saying they couldn’t come. The customer service team is beyond inept. It infuriates me how useless and incompetent they appear to be, I’m just amazed at how such a big company appears to be so amateur.
Please shop elsewhere. There are other providers that will charge slightly more but atleast it’s a better service. Definitely a lesson to not go for the cheapest option. I will definitely be switching my provider when the year is up.

The service provided was generally very good until the contract came to an end...then the problems began. We moved to a new provider who were faster and cheaper but discovered Now Broadband were still charging us despite us emailing them to cancel the standing order. It's almost impossible to speak to a human and their chat bot is designed to drive you insane. Finally we spoke to a very rude customer service guy who said it's their policy to not read emails and they will only take cancelations of contracts on the phone (which they don't answer). Although we had cancelled our standing order they still managed to take money from us and now we are having to make a small claims court application to get our £100+ back. Do not use this company!

What everyone else said. Customer service is pitiful. An endless loop of menus leading to the wrong computerised answer and eventually a rude and unhelpful human. Very much looking forward to the end of my contract.

Unfortunately you can't leave zero stars for a rating which is a shame as this company is the WORST company I've ever had to deal with, paying nearly £30 a month for WiFi which won't even work in the room next door to the modem! Rude and unorganized staff who have prematurely cut off what terrible WiFi we have left since we notified them that we would be swapping providers! I would warn anyone to stay well clear of NOW TV for any services, save your money time and frustration as I wish I had done when attempting to deal with these fumbling fools!

Signed up for broadband and waited 2 weeks for activation date only for broadband not to work. Was then advised an engineer was coming the next available day to fix the issue (which was 5 days later) and waited all day and nobody came. Spoke on the phone with customer service and advised that it will be another 72 hours atleast until it can be looked at. Would definitely recommend using any other service

I am not a customer yet, was just looking to see if I had coverage at my location. It doesn't offer me any of this when you fill in the postcode. You just start a purchase process. So assumption says I have coverage?
so going through the help centre, you end up with a chatbot, who is as helpful as a can of baked beans.. I am not liking the human less corporations... And I am not even that old yet..

Lived on the isle of dogs next to canary wharf and Now was the only provider and charged a extorniate 20 pounds per month for less than 5 mbps. The connection was at less than 2 mbps and would stop a few times per hour completly. Called Now and had 3 engineers come and do works to no avail. Was given a month free.
I do not recommend this provider at all. The prices they charge for the quality offered is akin to robbery.

Bad, incompetent customer service. Firstly didn't process the order, but didn't reach out to flag. Had to cancel this 'phantom order' (as they casually call it) and reorder. This delayed our setup another 2 weeks. Unfortunately in that time, Now increased the cost of their broadband service by 15%. This means we have to pay more overall due to Now's error. Customer service couldn't care less, were condescending, patronising and basically abysmally shocking. They were beyond useless at every turn. Pray that you have no setup issues, else you'll need to deal with this group of mouth breathers.

Absolutely tragic. I have never come across such awful service. No customer support whatsoever, can’t get hold of anyone and cannot cancel account as they keep charging me. I had to go to the bank to end it. Backward is not a good enough word. Be careful with setting up anything with amateur company.

The cheap router is the worst part of this. Weak and won’t reach through the walls of my house (my previous BT router would). Yes as others have said, they’re cheap for a reason. Owned by Sky as well. Only signed up for 12 months (thank god) so early termination fees aren’t too bad and am having fibre installed in a couple of weeks. After that, rubbish broadband will be a thing of the past. I cannot wait!

Worst company I have ever had misfortune to deal with. Customer service is non existent. Broadband generally very slow. When Broadband went down it took more than 90 minutes to finally get a human on the phone. Every part of the troubleshooting sends you through interminable loops until you are disconnected at the end of each loop. The fault requires an engineer but they don’t work at weekends. How is it that I see engineers working at the box at weekends for other companies? Avoid at all costs.

After being with Now TV for 12 months. I had to re apply for broadband as I needed to change the name the account was in which was fair enough. Was told this will take 2 weeks, after 2 weeks and hearing nothing I called up to ask why my broadband hadn't been activated. They told me my application to open reach had been rejected and there was no way of knowing why that was. They didn't contact me at all to let me know and if i hadn't of called they probably never would have. Told me I have to re-apply which takes another 2 weeks.
Customer service was awful, no-one knew anything, constantly being moved to different departments. Even though I was speaking to people they might as well have been AI because they were basically robots. One of the worst companies I've dealt with, there's hundreds of other broadband providers out there so I suggest you use someone else.

I was offered one price, then left without broadband for almost 2 weeks, then told my offer had expired and I would have to pay a different price (10% more). I asked for the the automatic offcom compensation for the delay (as it sais on their website) and they knew nothing about it. They automatically forwarded me to "the relevant custom service department", which turned out to be at SKY, so they obviously couldn't help me because it's not even the right company. How can they be so useless?!

Been without broadband and telephone for over a week. This is an exchange issue, and not Now broadbands. It's an Openreach issue.
The reason for scoring NOW low is they are nigh on impossible to contact. The chatbot is useless.
They have failed to keep me updated/informed, as promised.
When chasing it up, the quickest time I've managed to get through to someone is 50 minutes. Just what you need after a 12 hour shift.
Each time you have to go through the full explanation and try and convince them the problem isn't at my end.
I'm "lucky" as I'm out of contract. Just keeping it going until my full fibre connection date. Once the exchange is fixed I guess.
Why not give a case/job number to people that have issues. And a direct number to query progress, rather than having to suffer the banal dross music? Then again is that the reason for the music?
In all honesty, in over 2 years, the speed/connection/connectivity have been better than expected, so that side is ok.
Let down by poor customer service. Lack of.

Bad! Terrible! Not fit for purpose!
Not only is their broadband laggy and drops connection several times a day, almost all the time in a gaming session. The reach of the router is terrible! And as if all that wasn't bad enough, they take money from your account without hesitation, sometimes up to 3 times within a 30 day period! And if they take a payment complete off their payment schedule , and you don't have funds to cover it, they soon threaten to cut you off!
Definitely the worst isp I have ever had the misfortune of signing up to!
I'm currently trying to leave Now, I have been for the past 6 weeks, all the while they won't relinquish my landline to the next isp! Never have I ever had any issues swapping before, even the customer service rep at the next isp have said this is a regular occurrence with Now, my guess is trying to bleed customers for as much as they can! My advice would be to absolutely avoid this company, they're cheap for a reason! Worst company ever! Worse that Three!!!!

NOW Broadband is cheap for a reason so I’d advise you to save you precious time and sanity and go elsewhere.
Twice I have tried to sign up with NOW Broadband, but it would seem they don’t want any new business.
The first time a few months back, I signed up with NOW for the first time. I received all the relevant letters and the router to my home address, first step went wonderfully. It then got seemingly complicated when receiving emails advising they had another address for us in the same street and could I confirm the correct address. I dutifully replied 3-4 times, telling them the correct address and outlined, they must have it as I had received the router to the correct address (having never vining any other address). Despite this and further emails from NOW asking for clarification, in spite of my replies, they cancelled the new set up without warning, leaving me with no broadband.
A glutton for punishment and ever the optimist, I decided that lightning couldn’t strike twice in the same place and was drawn in to their price tag but wish I’d saved myself the bother. Everything seemed to go without a hitch initially, having been successfully transferred over to NOW for more than 2 weeks. However, alas! it was too good to be true, after our broadband was abruptly cut off and later that evening, waited nearly an hour to speak to someone to establish what had happened.
They assured me they’d call us back the next day as they closed at 8pm. We did get a call back to say there was issues with ‘activating our broadband’, despite us using it over the past 2 weeks. However, the following day, whilst just arriving on holiday, I received an email to advise that my NOW broadband was cancelled as of immediate effect, with no desire to resolve this issue and retain my business, for a second time.
I won’t be stupid enough to give them a 3rd try and have happily paid a further £4/month to secure broadband with Plusnet.
If it seems to good to be true, if often is. So, if you’re considering jumping to NOW broadband, do yourself a favour and go elsewhere. They have THE WORST customer service ever, particularly when we were new customers. There is no desire to resolve any issues, with a preference to instead cut new customers off as they seemingly can’t be bothered establishing what’s went wrong. Absolute shambles of a ‘service’
Also worth noting that it is near on impossible to obtain a telephone number to speak to someone, the web chat bot is dreadful and sends you in a constant loop without either helping or allowing you to call a number and speak to someone.
Clearly under resourced and designed to offer minimal support when you need it. Avoid at all costs.
