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."

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.

If you're looking to get @NOWTV Sports be aware that you only get access to "live" sports while the game is live - then, you may be able to watch "highlights" a day or so later If you're at work while the #Lions2025 match is on you won't be able to watch it when you get home

@NOWTV your coverage of the tennis is truly awful. There’s currently tennis in Canada and you’re not showing it live. Says your coverage starts 5:30pm but play has been going for over an hour. WTF am I paying you £

4) I've had @NOWTV packages (Entertainment, Film, Sport) for about 9 years) and never had any issues, but come April 2025 - and it's been absolutely poor systems, poor investigation and poor service. I now live in a town not a village anymore and the Internet speeds are fast!
