    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.

  • _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

    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

    The NOWTV Broadband in Edinburgh has been down since 12.30pm. Its linked to wider BSkyB issues. @NOWTV #nowtv I'll give them until tomorrow 9am to fix if they dont - cancelling.

  • AHScrackers Gemz (@AHScrackers) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam how come the uktv play app keeps closing down when being used with the nowtv stick?? Works fine on phone. Plays ads no issue, then either takes you back to programme select screen, or takes me back to nowtv screen. Any ideas?? Thanks

  • Funkytellum FunkyT (@Funkytellum) reported

    NowTV broadband (think it's in the BSkyB network) down in Manchester, any update on a timescale for a fix?

    @DannyBoiBlu @hayuhelps I only had an issue last month as I was with NowTV, switched to amazon and now the same issue.......just really annoying that we pay for something and not receive it, but I suppose their get out would be "there's other programmes apart from housewives that come with a Haya sub
