Broadband with a helping hand.

We’re here to help. It’s what we do differently and what makes us great. It’s why we were founded in the first place after all. Whatever the problem, no matter the solution – we’ll do everything we can to get you and your tech sorted. 

At Now we pride ourselves on helping you enjoy more of the internet and less of its frustrations. While our nationwide network delivers everything you'd expect, it's our ability to get closer to your home and its unique needs that sets us apart. Our plans come with unlimited access to our technical support team (don't worry, they speak your language). If it takes more than a phone call, our friendly team of Techsperts can come to your place and help get any issues fixed.

We had looked at all the deals and looked at all the reviews before deciding on NOW and the 1/2 price for 6 months deal and we arranged to change from our current provider Vodafone on the 27th June, told VF we were leaving on the 27th and will need a service until then, so we gave them 2 weeks notice and a bit, simple you would think eh, got home on Friday 12th and found we had no internet, called VF and after 40 mins on hold were told that they'd cut us off and couldn't reconnect us, so I called NOW and they said that they will have a connection working on Saturday 13th no problem, bought a new router and set it up with the help of NOW tech support and we were back up and running within 24 hours of useless VF cutting us off early - Thank you George & Luke in tech support! - I have to say that NOW have been great, efficient and above all extremely helpful & bent over backwards to help us when VF couldn't give a damn, so 5* to the NOW team! ...read more

NOW Broadband simplify the process for your average person to connect to the internet. Some anecdotal evidence suggests that they have user-friendly customer support, however I have yet to identify truly useful support.
Their after-hours phone support is not support at all - more secretarial than anything as they are apparently unable to fulfill even the most basic service requests (i.e. Report network status), they appear to be there simply to act as a human voicemail.
I am sure their technical team have an idea what they are doing, however, their business model is to wrap their customers in bubble-wrap by preventing them from performing any configuration of their own devices. Their modems are locked-out by default, meaning you are fully dependent on their staff to perform even the simplest tasks, who as mentioned earlier, are only available at certain times of the day.
This dependence could be considered a security risk, as even changing the WiFi password requires going through them.
Lastly I'd like to note that unlike most other ISPs in NZ, NOW does not have a tool to report their network status, making it difficult as a potential customer to identify service reliability, and also difficult for an existing customer to identify the origin of connectivity issues.
