    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.

  • _Rachele_ Rachele (@_Rachele_) reported from Birmingham, England

    . @NOWTV HELP ME PLS 😭 For about a year I've not been able to update my watch list - every time I try to add to my TV it's not letting me again saying: "sorry we're having trouble updating."

  • 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.

  • JakeHamblin20 Jake Hamblin (@JakeHamblin20) reported

    @NOWTV @ColbyStride I’m getting the same problem, was getting it yesterday and now I can’t even watch the last part of this game. Picture constantly breaking up!!

  • reeksie Enrica Wong (@reeksie) reported

    @nowtvhelp There is but there is no power point near that socket so it’s not possible to connect to the router. I have nowtv for almost 4 years now and had internet this morning so I find it strange that this is now a problem.

  • DenniseMitchel2 Dennise Mitchell (@DenniseMitchel2) reported

    @NOWTV We've been calling them nearly every day - they keep saying they have no information on what's wrong or how long it will take to fix. They simply pass the buck & blame Openreach. It's ridiculous, I've got 3 kids who are missing out on vital education !

  • JoshSwale Joshua Swale (@JoshSwale) reported

    @NOWTV is your website sign in down? 2 days I’ve been trying to log in yet it won’t even allow me to put my username/password in, just keeps saying “unable to connect to sign in”

    @Tissier_Tish Hi ZZ, thanks for getting back to us. I do apologise for the delay in response as we only work form 08.00-20.00. ZZ do you have any active passes on your nowtv account?

  • AaronAllSalts DJ AAROW (@AaronAllSalts) reported

    @NOWTV @nowtvhelp Now TV has now crashed on me 10 ******* TIMES! I’m trying to watch The Big Lebowski!!! I don’t pay £9.99 a month for a service to crash all time time, sort it out!

  • dekhogan Dek Hogan (@dekhogan) reported

    That's the trouble with watching the footie on NOWTV while having Twitter open. You get the goal flash well before you see the goal...

  • FirefoxLord Lord_FireFox (@FirefoxLord) reported

    @nowtvhelp Must just be my expectations. Wait actually it can’t be.... because Netflix, PrimeVideo, Disney+ and funny enough Apple TV+ apps all work really well. Must be NOWTV as always trailing behind.... (Another free trail Shipper in Home Bargins) 🙄
