Really happy with NOW for my internet . I’ve had awesome service from them and also when I moved house it was easy and fast to get it all changed over too ..
Onky ever had one issue with my broadband and they called me back to sort the issue n then again a few days later to make sure all was still ok … I’m pretty impressed with that service ..!!!

Really really bad service, the internet got cut off several times a day, tried to reach their support team but the problem remains, the worst thing is they want to charge cancelation fee if you want to cancel the plan even it's because of their problem

I've been using their Fibre Max for a while now and everything's been good. The switch over went super smoothly and I was up and running within 2 hours of calling them. Internet speed still good even during peak hours. The only thing is their support team doesn't work past 6 PM, which is kinda weird compared to some of the bigger ISPs. But honestly, they respond pretty quick and always get my issues solved in no time. They're way better than those "restart-your-modem" guys, I'll tell ya that.
Pros
no
Cons
no

Terrible onboarding experience.
Despite asking for my previous provider's account number, NOW did not initiate the cancellation process, resulting in me paying as a result of a much longer cross-over period.

On setting up, they did not provide sufficient information to transfer to NOW's fibre - support had to be contacted for this to made clear. Only noticed because I was monitoring the daily traffic use on each account.
Pros
Cons
Not a signatory to the Fibre Customer Transfer Code, and can't be bothered doing it.

Have used BigPipe since I started paying for my own internet way-back when. Never ever have I had issues with connectivity, download speeds, upload speeds or anything else. Highly recommend.
Pros
Fast connections, easy set-up, great support team
Cons
On the pricey side in the current market.
