NOW Broadband order update – no space available for new line

Thanks for choosing NOW Broadband. We're sorry that your order has been delayed – here's some more info on the reason for the delay and what happens next.

What's happening with my order?

Your local exchange/street cabinet has no space for new line connections. This happens when the port assigned to your order is faulty and unable to be used.

What type of work needs completing to get my order back on track?

Openreach will send an engineer to your local exchange/street cabinet and add more equipment to provide a connection point.

Keep in mindThis work would also be required with many other broadband providers.

What’ll happen next?

We’ll keep you updated once Openreach confirm how much work they need to do to get your line ready.

How long will my delay be?

The length of the delay will depend on the work involved, as delays can differ in complexity. We’ll work with Openreach and share estimated timelines for planned work with you. We’ll always confirm the next review date, so you know when to expect an update from us.  

What can I expect from NOW?

Our team will keep constant track of your order and will text and email you with updates as regularly as possible about its progress. They’ll let you know if we can’t meet the date we advised when you placed your order.
