After 3 months on a 12 months full speed fibre plan, speed tests indicate throttled speeds nearer the lower plan speeds. After countless hours waiting on the phone on hold, then speed testing with a test router, Now BB ran out of ideas and then charged me the costs of the 'test' router that was on loan! Had to get on the phone AGAIN to reverse that charge and organise pickup of their own equipment. Emails sent to Accounts go unanswered for almost a week, speeds are hit and miss, and whatever agreement you have with the Service agent at the time are forgotten and are billed anyway. Avoid the headache, avoid Now BB.
Waiting out the disconnect date!

Fluctuating speeds, up to 70% down on advertised speeds. Fast to bill, slow to answer support phones or emails.

Been with them for a few years. Noticed connection issues for quite some time but was bareable. Until lately it got pretty bad and disconnects every a few minutes. Reached out, staff was not sensible and I have spend a lot of time online/over the phone with their support staff, tried all the touble shooting method and lastly got told it is likely the modem issue (as I told their staff when I first reached out as my modem was old and I didn't ask for a replacement when I renewed my contract last time). Since my modem is out of warrenty, I got told that I my only choice are either to by a new modem from them for some $120 or get one my self from the local shops. And renew a contract is not an option for a existing customer. I'm changing my provider, Goodbye Skinny. ...read more

Was fine for the first few months, then it got a bit slower, then the first major outage of a day or more, once finally sorted(they seemed to have little clue, blaming it all on those they buy services from), continually slower & patchier after that(sometimes to the point that youtube would only play at 240p-360p), then just had another major outage for more than 24hours(again blaming others), this time with zero support for seemingly anyone. Support had been ok early on, but it still didn't help with the 1st outage. Both times I found ways to get the internet working before they fixed the cause, but still lost many hours of access both times. Not reliable, and now non-existent support. ...read more

relatively cheap, sometimes speed can be what it's meant to be
