    Trying to contact @NowTV to enquire about their broadband and honestly it’s the worst. Talking to a Robot does not help.

  • Saintbarca Steve Fraser (@Saintbarca) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Is this bloody awful picture quality a @NOWTV scam to get you to pay £13 a day for HD?

  • MrsSherrec Mandy Sheridan (@MrsSherrec) reported from Warrington, England

    @jammylubbe @NOWTV Apparently it was everyone’s broadband that was the problem. Just been speaking to their so called help

    @NOWHelpTeam hi could you advise me-my friend's landline has no dialling tone and she cannot sign in to nowtv as her email address isn't being accepted. Th8s is causing her a lot of distress. Thank you.

  • jamesjd1 James Dyer (@jamesjd1) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam @NOW I am trying to watch NowTV from my laptop and this error code keeps appearing - VGC-4229955698:4240441496

  • garius John Bull (@garius) reported

    @NOWTV Right now the only path I can see to actually chatting to a human being at @NOW is to physically rip the line to my house out of the box over the road. So that the line test will fail. So that I can tell them the router is broken. It's a magnificent bit of banality of evil.

  • pintofsimilar Alex (@pintofsimilar) reported

    @garius @NOWTV 5 different options, 2 of which sound tangentially relevant to your situation but lead to further submenus that take you further away from what your actual issue is?

  • Rel_Games Mark 🌻 (@Rel_Games) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Trying to view sites of VPN providers (Nord, Express, SurfShark) but can't - w/o using a VPN?! If I use TunnelBear they work, but if not they time out. Are you blocking them? Not trying to use a VPN to view NowTV, but to shop for a VPN for secure browsing overseas

    @virginmedia Hi Virgin. My parents are having an absolute mare with their broadband at the moment. Every single internet service is constantly buffering. Wired or wireless. Prime, Netflix, NowTV. Impossible to get through to any kind of support. Can you help?

  • AntJack81 ToneJack (@AntJack81) reported

    Listen @NOWTV, I like Formula 1 and while I'm aware it's got its own ethical issues, I'm not paying £34 a month to subsidise the absolute morality cesspit that is Premier League football. A special offer is any that doesn't include football and anything that does... isn't.

  • SharonF79953125 Sharon Fowler (@SharonF79953125) reported

    @NOW hi, a friend of mine has a fault on her landline. Nowtv will not recognise or accept her email address when she tries to sign in to her account. Please advise as this is causing distress. Thank you.

  • tashmortimer Natasha Mortimer (@tashmortimer) reported

    @OpenreachHelp …pleased). We didn’t realise the extent of the damage until we called an Openreach engineer out about the flailing cables and he took a look and confirmed there was damage and a really poor job done. However, he couldn’t help us as apparently we needed to phone NowTV who provide

    @garius @NOWTV I had similar problems with @virginmedia. It seems silly, but a letter emailed to their operations director got some action.
