Now TV was unavailable most of last Sunday and had nationwide problems again on Monday, the picture quality is poor and it buffers regardless of your broadband speed. The On Demand service is more watchable than the live streams, but is still blighted by ridiculous indent breaks every few scenes.
And they wonder why people download illegal copies...

I actually think £6.99 is still reasonable however I'd have held off with a price increase until they had the service working perfectly for everyone , constant outages and peak time disruption is totally unacceptable from a service your paying for. I notice they've now issued an official apology on the Now TV community site and rightly so , must admit I've not suffered however I only have the movie pass and don't watch as frequently.
The service is being retailed at a higher price than both Amazon and Netflix and as such should be just as reliable , I'm sure people would justify the price increase more if they could A) Improve reliability and B) improve the 720p streams to 1080i or 1080p like its competitors and throw in 5.1audio.
