    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.

    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

    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.

    . @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."

    @NOWTV Hi there, I am being charged £9.99 on my Paypal account for your service. I have no recollection of signing up. I can't log on to my account as I don;t know what my log in is. As far as I am aware I have never used your service. How do I cancel my service without login

    @nowtvhelp Hi @nowtvhelp I do not experience this with any other device or app. Only NowTV on PS4. I've got 7 day film pass and this is the same now. So Sports and TV both buffer. I can't use a LAN cable due to where router is. Anything else I can do?

    @NOWTV When I watch now tv on my Xbox a problem usually occurs with international football games where you usually choose what game you want to watch via the red button but instead the channel is limited to one game because there is no red button option

    @fiveub Internet with @nowtv has been down since Friday, no engineer yet so currently switched on with a massive 1MB Vodafone dongle courtesy of work. 😭 I need to pre-load Cyberpunk too. Not a chance lol. 12 hour night shift x 3 more (hurry up #OpenReach engineer)

    Jay (@BigJimMills) reported

    @NOWTV Yeah, I know you need the player. It’s the worst user experience ever lol. I’m saying nobody else does that and you should have playback in the browser.

    I pay a total amount of £58 a month for live football to @btsport and @NOWTV. Never had issues streaming using these services. Ironically, as an Amazon Prime customer I have bonus of them broadcasting a game not covered. Disappointing @primevideosport
