    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.

    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 have previously been in conversation with you back in November about being charged for something I've not even signed up for. This is still happening and want to speak to someone about it. Sadly you don't have a phone number for TV issues, but you do for broadband??

    @SkyCorporate @skytv @NOWTV Quality over quantity any day and I'm referring to the picture quality as well as the quality of the content. Please fgs make UHD content look UHD cos for example A Discovery of Witches looks HD at best and it's supposed to be UHD. This is my biggest bugbear with sky

    @NOWTV can I get a refund on my sub? Your subtitles don't work. They start fine then just stop altogether.

    Gary Garside (@garygarside) reported

    @NOWTV Yep! They were great, but sadly not much help. Engineer came out, but doesn’t seem to have changed much. Feels like I’m paying ~£25pm to tether via my phone every 30 minutes at present.

    John Ellison, Blues Guitarist (@johnellison) reported

    @NOWTV Hi guys, the app on the fire stick needs some work. It won’t return home when you are watching something without rebooting the @primevideouk fire stick?

    @nowtvhelp Hi, we were due to receive a NOWTV box last week. We’ve been told it’s delayed & now you can’t even confirm if it’s being delivered to our old house or new house. The engineer has now arrived before the box. We have to WFH tomorrow! Please help
