    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 Hello, I have tried both of these and still not working. The live chat wasn't helpful either as it wouldn't let me chat with someone, just the bot.

  • Snellytheyid Andrew Snell (@Snellytheyid) reported

    @NOWTV @nowtvhelp no internet here. Do you have an escalation point or any advice? I see no one in the help team works after 8pm....

    @NOWTV HD channels are breaking up. Tried retuning the channels on two boxes and they have completely disappeared. All none HD channels work perfectly. As stated earlier HD channels direct to TV work perfectly, problem is only when using Nowtv. Full fibre at 300mbs?
