    . @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."

    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

    @nowtv Can’t access my day pass to Sky Sports. Rebooted everything. Other passes are working fine. Others seem to be having issues with @SkySports too! Help!

  • 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 I'm trying to order broadband via your website, but can't get past making an appointment for an engineer, the page just goes blank. Is anybody else having this issue? Thanks

  • PritzPatel88 Pritesh Patel (@PritzPatel88) reported

    @NOWTV I'm unable to complete my broadband purchase. I can't get past the screen for making an appointment for an engineer, the webpage, just goes blank. Is anybody else having this issue? Thanks

  • NinjaMonkeyBoy Craig Freeman (@NinjaMonkeyBoy) reported

    @NOWTV have basically robbed me of 5 years worth of subscription payments for a service that was cancelled in 2015. Their customer service is awful.

  • christteach Christopher Townsend (@christteach) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @NOWTV You have just told me over the phone that the wifi connection is not your responsibility and because I am not a commercial customer it is not your problem if I cannot use your internet connection to teach. This will work well when I cannot teach from home next week.

  • itsmandisi Mandisi (@itsmandisi) reported

    @NOWTV has the worst customer service in the world

  • rossdaniello Ross D'Aniello (@rossdaniello) reported
