Had my broadband set up for a few days now and all seems brilliant. Plenty to watch with the extra passes (entertainment & sky cinema), easy to use interface on the tv box itself, and the fab fibre speed seems perfect for online gaming and general usage of phones/tablets etc. My only gripe in the process being that the engineer was due to come out between 1 & 6, come quarter to six there was still no sign of him, so i went on the live chat and their customer services department advised that an engineer wasn't needed as my phone line was still live and that i could set-up the router and tv box by myself, so i waited in all day quietly for nothing, a heads up via phone call/email would have been nice!! aside from that, i cant complain about the service so far!!

I would not recommend to my worst enemy. I switched to NOW TV from Sky due to them offering rolling contract while allowing me to upgrade my speed to 38Mbts. Initial set-up was easy and worked fine but I only got my old 10Mb speed. When the faster speed was switched on it complete cease to work. After 12 days and several OpenReach engineer visits I gave up and cancelled and set up with Relish.
NOW TV was never able to tell what the problem was or provide me with a plan for getting it to work. The only thing they would offer was to send another OpenReach engineer which would then take 3-5 days. Speaking to the OpenReach engineers, I am pretty certain that it is not technically possible for me to get the 38 Mbts...
Only positive thing is that their customer service has very short waiting times...so at least you will not have to wait long to speak to someone who cannot help you

The worst broadband I've ever known! Cuts out constantly, speed drops to almost nil and reaches a maximum of around 14mb when I'm paying for 38mb. WiFi is even worse. Can not stream a show on Netflix or catch-up without constant buffering, Now TV broadband is terrible! Fortunately I have been able to cancel after I complained numerous times. Wouldn't wish anyone to be stuck with this for a year contract.

I have never known anything as bad as NowTV fibre broadband. I have completed the troubleshooting with customer service and it didn't improve anything. The maximum speeds I am recieving are around 14mb but generally much much lower when I am paying for 38mb fibre and it seems to completely cut out constantly making streaming catch up TV or Netflix near impossible.

I was set an engineer visit 2 weeks from signup. The day before The visit, I called to find out where my kit was only to be told that the engineer will not show up, blamed on openreach like other posters have mentioned. They didn't have the decency to contact me. I was then told that the engineers will sort put the problem for a few days later. I called again to fimf out where the kit was and was told that am engineer had now been booked in another 2 and a half weeks. Once again I had to call to find out. Amonth is a ridiculous amount of time tp wait to get a phone and btoadbamd service. With their record, I will not be waitimg for it to be pushed to another two weeks so I will go somewhere else.

I am super happy with now tv. I was worried about performance when i picked broadband company, I picked now tv because they had a rolling contract for fiber.
- customer support is the best i ever experienced. Royal mail lost my router, they shipped me a new one the same day as I called. I called a second time and asked for about the router configurations and they deducted 5£ from my bill, I didn't even ask for it.
- speed is what they promised. I have the 38 mbps package and speeed test say 36.2 mbps.
I haven't even tried the channels yet. +I use my own router btw, they don't support it, but if you google around you'll find info of how to do it)
Best provider I ever had.

I had a really rocky start with NowTV with my start date being delayed by two weeks and BT Openreach being blamed.
As the customer service is good (calls are answered quickly by a human) when complaining about the signal from router, I accepted the advice that the signal will take 10 days to regularise to get to its proper speeds - 10 days have passed I still have problem on WiFi from router, now I do not have a connection upstairs as it is "out of range" before it just dropped out constantly!
Although the plugged in devices downstairs work well (reason I gave 3 stars) the WiFi signal is very poor in rooms away from the hub and out of range upstairs. I have tried all of the recommendations; hub is not by TV / metal however it cannot be put in the middle of the house as it needs to be plugged into the BT phone socket.
NowTV Fibre Combo is not a service I can keep - I do not want to buy router extenders just to see if I can get the service I had with previous provider.
I do regret joining NowTV for fibre combo, the entertainment pass is good but can be used with a better internet provider.
I will be changing providers, even if it means being without internet for a week or so AGAIN, as I need internet upstairs for streaming music and for my FireTV Stick.
If you are in a bedsit or only use Ethernet connection it would be good for you, otherwise avoid!

Received box early September, due to be live and working Mid September.
Now pushing mid December, was supposed to have 2 engineers visit the apartment on separate occasions (none of which showed up) and still have no internet.
Waste of time.
