    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

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

    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

    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.

    @NOWTV Don’t have a specific issue, the whole thing is overcomplicated and lacking. Just use other apps like Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Video and even BBC iPlayer. They have a much better user experience.

    @nowtvhelp Hi, I'm trying to do a technical check on my line but getting "Sorry, we can't check your service at the moment. Please try again soon.". When I try to contact Live Chat, it's telling me it's currently unavailable. Are these issues at NowTV's end?

  • snokesbadger Stuart Nokes (@snokesbadger) reported

    @TalkTalk Given your TV does not work properly and the nowtv app does not do what I was told, I will be going to the ombudsman as you are refusing to waive the early termination charge. Appalling.

  • cmillarxo Catherine Millar (@cmillarxo) reported from Bristol, England

    @NOWTV hello - my WiFi has barely been working for the last couple of days in the Bristol area. Can anyone help please?

  • darkjoker78 Jason Short (@darkjoker78) reported

    @NOWTV No. It's not Cavills fault either it's Zack Snyder because he just doesn't get it! Also he's an awful filmmaker.

  • cristianpemo Cristianpemo (@cristianpemo) reported

    @NOWTV @AscendedAncient I think is great, perhaps Superman The Movie is better, but MOS at least, is in the second place, because Superman 2, is not that great, 3 and 4 are the worst movies of Superman and Returns is a total lack of originality, represents that sense of not let the character evolve.

  • VinnyT66780182 VinnyT (@VinnyT66780182) reported

    @NOWTV your service has deteriorated so all streaming is badly affected and all devices using WiFi are badly affected. No way to contact you. Your line test feature won't work .no agents on live chat available. Done all the end user stuff to reset. Still useless . Help!!! Wfh !

    The quality of the streaming on Amazon is so much better than NowTV. The commentary is just as shite mind.
