Broadband Speed Drops and Very slow

[frankenaria_7]

my broadband speed is supposed to be at least 60 (download) and whenever I check internet speed its about 20 download speed and a lot of the times it just does not work at all. and i've tried all the steps for making the broadband better and still nothing.

Is this with Ethernet or Wi-fi?

How long have you been a customer with NOW for? 

[frankenaria_7]

its wifi and about a year and a half.

It's worth splitting the Wi-fi bands as this can sort out the speed.

Swearing on the forum won’t get you very far.

If your on the phone to support request for an engineer visit and full investigation. As the fault could be on the main line.

It’s the same as any company out there. 

Whereas I’m with BT but many people complain about it and I’ve never had an issue with them. In the past I had NOW broadband for a period of time and had absolutely no issues with it. 

Unless you keep calling they won’t get the issue resolved.

Every FTTC ISP is totally reliant on Openreach lines for the quality and speed of the connection.

Where they differ is in the router they supply and to a lesser degree the backend systems.

Now uses the Sky infrastructure and that is generally vey good.

When you say slow speeds, it is important to differentiate between the sync speed (connection speed to the local cabinet) and the Wi-Fi speed. (speed between the router and your devices)

There is no doubt that the latest BT routers are far superior the the Now ones in respect of Wi-Fi capabilities, so exactly what problems are you experiencing?

Putting it on a Now specific forum will not help, only Now users are likely to see it, and they already have their own opinions of Now. (both good and bad)

Surely this is a reply to my post?

If you are referring to private messaging, I believe that is restricted until you have made a number of posts.

And I don't work for Now, I just like to help other users if I can. They can take my help or not, it's entirely up to them.

Being rude won’t get you anywhere. 

Plus none of us are employed by NOW. We are just customers trying to help and you are being rude to us.

I fully understand your frustration and anger that something as simple as moving ISP should have gone wrong. There is always a bit of risk involved, and I shall being doing it myself shortly (to Now) but I feel I can cope with whatever may happen.

If you start you own thread, and explain just what the problem is, we may well be able to give advice on resolving them.

[Poppydoll611]

And as for you  stop private messaging me

No 2 ????????
