This guide has not been checked against its sources
We re-checked our most-read guides against GOV.UK and the other official sources in September 2026. This one was not among them, so nobody has confirmed its figures, deadlines or process steps since it was written. Treat it as a starting point and confirm anything that matters on GOV.UK before you act on it.
When someone dies, notifying Now Broadband is one of the key tasks for the executor or next of kin. This guide explains exactly who to contact, what to say, what documents you will need, and how long Now Broadband takes to process a bereavement notification.

Now Broadband is part of the Sky Group. Call 03303 323 031 to notify them of the bereavement. Their customer service team will handle the notification.
You will need the deceased's Now Broadband account number (found on any bills), full name, address, and date of death.
Now Broadband offers rolling monthly contracts and 12-month contracts. For monthly contracts, cancellation can happen immediately. For fixed-term contracts, early termination fees may be waived on bereavement — ask explicitly.
Now Broadband will request the return of any router provided. They will send a prepaid returns bag or arrange collection.
Have multiple certified copies of the death certificate ready. Banks and financial institutions each require an original or certified copy — you cannot usually pass a single copy between organisations. See our guide to how many death certificates you need.
Now Broadband does not publish a processing time, so we do not give one. Ask when you notify them, and ask for a reference so you can chase it.
Accounts or services are usually frozen until the estate is administered, which means no new transactions can be authorised.
Now Broadband accounts may be bundled with Now TV streaming passes. Notify both services separately — see the Now TV entry for streaming cancellation. Now Broadband and Sky share infrastructure but have different customer accounts.
Once Now Broadband receives your notification and confirms receipt, the account or service will be frozen and no new transactions will be authorised. Estate administration can then begin.
Now Broadband will cancel or transfer the service as directed. A final bill will be issued for any outstanding charges, and any credit balance will be refunded. If a contract is ended early, Now Broadband may waive early termination fees — ask the bereavement team directly.
Do not delay notifying Now Broadband
Direct debits and standing orders may continue to be charged after death. Some organisations treat the estate as the debtor for any charges incurred before notification. Notifying Now Broadband promptly protects the estate from unnecessary costs.
