    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.

  • 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

    @nowtvhelp Just the nowtv app, same thing happens on ps4 when it's open for a while or open in the background, timeout issue maybe? Its not as easy to close apps properly on firetv as it is on ps4, they seem to stay open in the background

  • asg93 Adam Gray (@asg93) reported

    @NOWTV WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED! Tried for 3 weeks for a home move for Wifi, Spoken to many people everytime I get told I have to wait 1-2 days and still no sign of Wifi then get told I need to wait 72hrs for a call back from a manager. Absolutely shocking!

  • L_Janey84 Laura Crawford (@L_Janey84) reported

    Hey @OpenreachHelp apparently its your problem and an issue with your employees that have meant after 3 weeks we still have no internet with @NOWTV and are spending 100s of pounds on data to work and homeschool.....

  • mynameisaflower daisy (@mynameisaflower) reported

    hey @NOWTV far too many of your films are without subtitles and it’s an absolute nightmare for folk with auditory issues, can you please look at your sub track files and work to remedy this because so many films are just unwatchable otherwise...

  • _mallory1_ Mallory (@_mallory1_) reported

    This is such a first world problem but it's infuriating that the NowTV app doesn't autoplay the next episode and let you skip opening credits. Oh, and the subtitles keep disappearing 🙄 If anything they have is available on netflix I'll choose netflix every time @nowtvhelp

  • AnnHopB MrsBousie (@AnnHopB) reported

    @NOWTV We spent 3 hours on with hone to Internet provider, it’s not there issue it lays with you !!

  • PyrateAsylum Pyrate Asylum (@PyrateAsylum) reported

    @NOWTV Its all good, I just asked via voice control why are you not working then ******* to me mate... BOOM 💥 just like that..... all good.

  • robinj220 Robin Johnston (@robinj220) reported

    Tell me @NOWTV why should I continue to pay for a service that keeps cutting out. @skytv wouldn’t have this problem and is cheaper too??

  • dave_hall_85 Dave Hall (@dave_hall_85) reported

    @NOWTV ordered a brand new tv stick off amazon. Arrived yesterday and it doesn’t work! Gets stuck on the pairing remote screen. Have been on all the forums and they say that this is an issue on some devices. I think the remote is faulty. How do I get a get a new one sent out?

  • janblastmcfc Janblast📣 (@janblastmcfc) reported

    Thanks @virginmedia I’ve only missed 20 minutes of this @MCFC game as the WiFi keeps dropping out. Good job I don’t pay you or @NOWTV collectively £101 a month for this terrible service. Oh wait 🤔
