Re: NOW Broadand User Comments Please

Been with them now for 2 months after leaving TalkTalk (purely for price, had no issues with talk talk).

1) We have a 5 bedroom house (3 bed with a 2 bed extension) and their hub covers the whole house no problems.
2) Telephone number ported in with no issues at all, didn't even notice the switch as even the TalkTalk hub established a connection when it changed over so didn't actually need to change the hub if I didn't want to.
3) Can't commend.
4) Tracked on Quidco for £88, no updates and no estimated payout as of yet.

I will say that using the Now Hub, we have changed the DNS settings to 1.1.1.1 on every single device as A) their DNS seems to be SUPER slow causing websites to take 5-10 seconds until the content starts to load and B) the DNS settings cannot be changed on the hub itself.

Thank you for all the comments.

In the end they got a price match offer from their existing provider & decided that it was easier to stay put.

Now does seem to be a good alternative which is definitely worth considering in the future.

Thank you again.

just a small point for others, the wifi part is made to a **price**, so it is usually not that good...

you may be lucky now, but a lot of house have big lumps of metal about, ruining signal...

getting a separate wifi router has many benefits! a lot of security options, and possibly to add storage and or a network printer!
