    . @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.

  • 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

  • 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.

    @nowtvhelp @NOWTV Can you confirm your broadband service is affected by same issue as Sky tonight? Can't stream anything on TV and now can't access any websites unless I switch to using a public DNS server like Google or Cloudflare. Can you give an update when DNS will be fixed?

  • lunarjetman Lunar Jetman (@lunarjetman) reported

    @IanMousley @this_isruby @nowtvhelp There seem to be national problems with Sky who NowTV are owned by and piggy back off. Surprising that NowTV don’t seem to have been told their services are interrupted..

  • iamChawlaR Rohit Chawla (@iamChawlaR) reported

    @NOWTV @nowtvhelp I reported an issue with broadband services which started occurring approx around 5:30 pm in east London area. I was advised that this has been escalated. Is there any update on this? #Nowtv #Nowtvbroadband

  • Dickieboy5 Agent D (@Dickieboy5) reported

    @nowtv Broadband service has been hopeless. Trying to watch films via NowTv box. Can't get a connection. NowTV BB router has no internet. Any chance it can work today/ever? 😡

  • JustinDillonUoE Justin Dillon (@JustinDillonUoE) reported

    @NOWTV It’s not working

  • lewyitfc Steve Lewis (@lewyitfc) reported

    @jackgambardella Problems with sky/NowTV broadband... been having issues since 4pm...

  • robingrimmer Robin G (@robingrimmer) reported

    @NOWTV what's happening with now TV broadband today? Speeds down and connection dropping. Been with you 3 months and never had any problems so far.

  • tracey_milktray Tracey Ashpole (@tracey_milktray) reported

    @lewyitfc @nowtvhelp Yes, just pointing out NOWTV do have something on their website now. Doesn’t help the issue, other than acknowledging they know there’s a problem, which based on my previous experience with NOWTV is an issue within itself.

  • ChrisPegg007 christopher pegg (@ChrisPegg007) reported

    @tony_sutton Well its their choice to choose that on, we have no problems with sky broadband for one year and a half until they want to switch to a cheaper one. We dont have problem with nowtv broadband for few months until dns server gone down...

  • freakingeachin chris mcgeachin (@freakingeachin) reported

    @NOWTV Broadband has had a fe minor issues over the last few days but has gone off completely this evening. Rebooted, checked router logs etc. problems highlighted online so fault lies with you. When will it be back?
