    @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.

  • _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."

    @NOWHelpTeam can you please fix your ad service, sick of seeing errors now. Left a show yesterday as unable to load video, tried to watch again tonight, nowtv says no! Logged out and back in, nowtv still says no!

  • JaneFT83 Jane Meddows (@JaneFT83) reported

    Avoid @NOWTV broadband. Awful customer service, no communication no cares given about anything. And if you want to talk to a manager you can expect a call back 48 to 72 hours later! AVOID.

  • stevengranville Steven Granville (@stevengranville) reported

    @NOWTV_It @SkySportsNews @F1 Does anyone else think that compared to Netflix and Prime, NowTV has unwatchable quality streams? Can’t read text on GP. They need more bandwidth.

  • _Gillers MarkG (@_Gillers) reported

    @NOW_Ireland is there any issue with the NowTV stick (Roku) the last 24hours?

  • Micah_Milaje Kelechi Stan Account (@Micah_Milaje) reported

    I swear @hayu is the WORST online streamer around. Maybe NowTV comes close but you need to upgrade your software cos the amount of glitches and error, it's actually ridiculous. Nothing is loading @hayu_uk

  • ItsCharacter It's Character Building 🏳️‍🌈 (@ItsCharacter) reported

    What the heck is going on with the internet @NOWTV ? Connection and speed have been terrible the last week. 👎🏼

  • strangeluvz ali🐋 wwdits spoilers (@strangeluvz) reported

    nowtv literally the worst streaming site ever

  • SueWild16 Sue Wild (@SueWild16) reported

    @NOWTV You have just taken two payments of £1.00 from my account but a message comes on the screen payment error! Card seems to be registered to my account. Why take two lots and why the error message?

  • tomgrundy Tom Grundy (@tomgrundy) reported

    2/ In answering a previous NowTV question about concerns the health code was used to ground protesters in Henan, Lee warned against 'stirring trouble.'
