NOW Broadband Speed Test FAQ
How fast is NOW Broadband?
NOW Broadband offers speeds from 11 Mbps to 100 Mbps depending on your plan and connection technology. ADSL delivers up to 11 Mbps, FTTC fibre reaches 36-63 Mbps, and FTTP full fibre achieves 100 Mbps where available. NOW uses the Openreach network, so performance is comparable to other Openreach-based providers like BT and Sky at equivalent speed tiers.
Is NOW Broadband the same as Sky?
NOW Broadband is owned by Sky (Comcast) but operates as a separate budget brand. NOW offers simpler, cheaper plans without Sky's premium features. Both use the Openreach network for broadband delivery. The main differences are pricing, contract flexibility, and bundling options. NOW focuses on value and rolling contracts while Sky offers premium TV bundles and faster full fibre tiers.
How do I test my NOW Broadband speed?
Use the speed test tool on this page to measure your NOW Broadband download speed, upload speed, and ping latency. Connect directly to your router using an ethernet cable for accurate results. FTTC customers should expect asymmetric speeds with upload around 9-19 Mbps. FTTP customers will see higher upload speeds. Test during evening peak hours to assess typical performance.
Does NOW Broadband have contracts?
NOW Broadband offers both rolling monthly contracts and 12-month fixed deals. Rolling monthly plans cost slightly more but allow cancellation at any time without penalties. Fixed 12-month contracts offer lower prices with early termination fees if cancelled before the term ends. This flexibility distinguishes NOW from many competitors that require longer commitments.
