    Within 24 hours of me ringing @virginmedia, we’re up and running with broadband (it’s also dead fast, bonus) 👏🏼 If anyone is considering @NOWTV for internet, PLEASE don’t bother. They are honestly the worst provider I’ve ever come across.

  • sophiemorbey morble (@sophiemorbey) reported from Birmingham, England

    Hey @nowtv @nowtvhelp please give Ferruccio from your call centre a raise!!!!! We didn’t 100% get to the bottom of my issue (shock) but he cheered me up with chats about Animal Crossing and RuPaul’s Drag Race. Top guy - please be my pal x

    PSA: Now TV are the worst company I’ve ever had the displeasure of coming across. Poor and rude customer service and STILL no working broadband, despite being promised it would be yesterday. @nowtv @nowtvhelp YOU SUCK.

  • GuildfordBen Ben Guildford (@GuildfordBen) reported

    Between @vodafone and @NOWTV I have the worlds worst internet connection. Trying to watch the cricket and it goes off every 4 overs... give you 15% off your bill is great... #Cheerslads

  • Rhys__Muir rhys muir (@Rhys__Muir) reported

    @NOWTV I’ve been overcharged your websites rubbish there no direct phone numbers I was told I’d only be £29 a month for my fibre broadband got the receipt emailed and it said £35 a month if that wasn’t bad enough my bills come off today and it’s came out at £60 this is awful!

  • sansboro Sarah Ansboro (@sansboro) reported

    My yearly tweet... for complaining of course. Has anyone experienced the worlds worst customer service @NOWTV I have been charged for nothing and I have had more emails back and forth with little or no solutions!

  • datascience_fun David Buck (@datascience_fun) reported

    @OpenreachHelp I did during the first outage on Thursday a.m, but they couldn't see anything wrong. Then I discovered that locally people on NowTV, Sky, BT, Vodafone, PlusNet and TalkTalk were all complaining of a simultaneous outage - and Openreach is obviously the common denominator. W7 area

    @guinness162 Can you make sure your NOWTV box and the #All4 app are both completely up to date, then reboot your device and internet for 1 min? If that doesn't work let us know.

    @theversion @NOWTV @UnstoppableLtd Clever thing with these cheap dramas ... they draw you in with a promising start and rely on audiences to stay tuned hoping for the plot to make sense and they never do. Too many like this now sadly. Quantity has taken over quality.

  • BenMurr36424431 Ben Murray (@BenMurr36424431) reported

    @GAZDAN62 NowTV really needs to have some 4K content on their in my opinion .. Been great for films over lockdown , but the quality of some streams been showing for me

  • j_dsoxza Levi BLOODCLART Ackerman btw (@j_dsoxza) reported

    Im giving them 6 months and if the quality continues to exceed Netflix, imma drop Netflix and just stick with my Nowtv movies, prime video and Disney+
