    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.

  • JimFeltham James Feltham (@JimFeltham) reported from Bromsgrove, England

    @NOWTV Was that a penalty? Quality is so terrible I can't tell. #ENGBEL

  • ibaird73 Ian Baird (@ibaird73) reported from Birmingham, England

    @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!

  • CraigDHoare Craig 🌹 (@CraigDHoare) reported from Birmingham, England

    @NOWTV Please make the app better...constant issues streaming via TV. Internet connection is fine.40 quid a month for "something's not right "

  • 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.

    @NOWTV the whole set up and website is awful, why is it so ****? Can’t login on one laptop because the app thinks I’m recording it, the other one unable to connect to sign in comes up. Waste of money

  • SDemporium Suzy (@SDemporium) reported

    @ShopifySupport @Shopify I wonder if that’s the issue then. Ever since my broadband contract entered the final month, NowTV seem to have taken the speed & quality back to the dial up days 😩

  • matthew48656568 matthew (@matthew48656568) reported

    @Plusnet It’s an extension the wire runs from the master socket under the carpet to it. I’ve tried plugging my nowtv router into it and it does not work. If I join plusnet could I not use the extension one then?

  • buckko7 Rob Buckley (@buckko7) reported
