Just transferred from Vodafone to Now Broadband and I was so impressed by their service. Communication was great and flexibility is one of the areas in management where I was so impressed of.
Pros
Being in a fibre connection, the connection is real fast compared to Vodafone which is very slow and unstable. I am now comfortable working from home in a stable and faster internet connection
Cons
Though not a fault from Now Broadband, the Chorus people are not that good by just turning me down where to lay down the fibre wire connections. They put it down on the fence when there is a better way of doing. They rejected my suggestion thinking it's a big work for them. Not impressed at all by Chorus ...read more

I had a connection problem from Dec.15th to Dec.18th despite renewal of my subscription. I contacted technical support twice but to no avail. In fact, the line was hanged up in the second time before answering. I had no choice but to call sales and finance where I was answered by Russel who showed absolute professionalism, technical competence, and patience. He stayed enthusiastically with me on the phone for about an hour until the problem was solved and fulfilled all my requirements. An attitude that had not been furnished by either Engineering or Technical support departments. ...read more
Pros
Easy set up and convenient connection. Lead time is almost zero.
Cons
Less value for money compared with other providers. Disrupted connections, however infrequent and irregular. Very long waiting time on the phone when contacting customer service.

I can review both mobile service and Fibre/broadband.

Mobile - retail support can be very lacking, phone support as well, emails are never responded to, we encountered some truly rude and incompetent staff, initial setup took weeks. Service itself is decent once you get it up and running.

Fibre - HORRIBLE. They set up the connection improperly on their end and despite spending upwards of 6 hours on the phone with their tech support (each time we also had to have 45-60 min on hold before speaking), it never worked correctly. The tech supports all seemed a bit sexist and mansplained the same unhelpful nonsense to me (a woman) and never listened when I tried to explain why they were going down the wrong path. They also are not willing to help with setup if you bring your own router/modem. In the end, the service just didn’t work and we went back to NOW which is a million times better and more reliable with a helpful support team. 2degrees still charged us the full $199 disconnect fee, even though their connection was never functioning. ...read more
Pros
none
Cons
bad signal, nonfunctional connection, horrible customer support

We have had NOW at two different homes in two different parts of the country and in both places, their service and internet has been far beyond what competitors offer. Fast speeds, easy connection and setup, many ways to quickly get support when needed (email, chat, phone, tech appointments in the home) and they all speak to you like you are a valued customer. Just a very positive experience, at every interaction. Their technicians also know how to help set up all kinds of fancy routers and modems that you might already own, where competitors typically tell you to figure it out yourself. ...read more
