To whom it may concern, I am extremely pleased by the service provided by Arnie, he was polite, patient and convivial regarding my WiFi situation. If I have any other troubles I hope that I get to speak to him again. Arnie deserves a pay rise due to his efficiency and overall professionalism. He is an asset to your company. Kind regards, Jason Morgan.

Total lack of concern despite the fact they know I am elderly, partially sighted and with multiple health problems and have had a dead landline (my only mean of communication) for a week. Can't even ring 111 if needed. I don't wonder they are rates 116th in the ISP category; their CS is useless.
Pros
Cheap but not cheapest.
Cons
Slow, inconsistent connection; appalling CS

So far no major issues - setup and switchover from previous ISP were relatively painless although had to plug into a different RJ45 on my ONT (was not advised of that). D/L speed has been well short of max, averaging around 400 Mbps unless very late at night, but it is a step up from 300 Mbps of previous ISP. Still a reasonable value proposition.
Pros
Inexpensive, simple no contract terms, no dropouts (touch wood)
Cons
D/L less than half of theoretical max on average

Recently just switched to NOW.
This was very easy & setup/follow up was excellent.
I should have done this sooner.
Pros
Excellent and Friendly customer service.
Cons
They played the same song in a loop while waiting for customer service to answer.

I've found the problem!
Worldnet's DNS servers are not resolving names to IP addresses. Pointed my router to the Google public DNS servers and we're back on line, no thanks to the m***ns at Worldnet who, after 4 days still hadn't fixed their servers.
Pros
None
Cons
Front runner for world's worst ISP.
