NowBroadband and TV?

Hi all.
I'm moving into my first home in a few weeks, and i'm looking for a reliable internet and tv package.
I have checked a few websites and NowTV seems to be offering the best, at £35.99 for 63mb Super fibre and Sky Cinema i was wondering if anybody has any experiences with them or better recommendations?
Thanks :)

    Hi Niklas, I have used them in the past and found them to be great. I didnt have to pick up the phone to customer services once which can only be a good thing. However I did not get the best speeds but this was to do with what was available my area rather than the service.

    I have had NOW Broadband for 18 months. Recently connection drops out several times a day. My phone is PAYGO so when it drops out when I am online at home  and I don't notice, it costs me money. Their forum shows me that lots of other people all over the country have the same problem but their Facebook messaging service and live chat are disabled and they make it near impossible to contact them.

    Make it Wi Fi only for data

    Just had my renewal email from NOW -ouch! Checked around and was about to switch but as a last resort phoned Now. After going through press etc eventually ended up with nice guy who when told I was leaving eventually haggled down to a better deal than my old one. So very happy. 
  • Have never had any problems with NOW and like yascards my contract was coming to an end in a week. I found cheaper deals through cashback sites so phoned NOW and a really helpful guy gave me a new quote which is less than I had been paying for the same package so I am a happy customer.
