    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 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!

    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

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

    . @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 I've paid a tenner for sky sports day pass when I try and watch the match it says I need a membership I've missed half an hour of the game I wanted, still won't stream, terrible service.

    @NOWTV is there issue with login. Keep getting message "unable to connect to sign in, please try later" on my laptop? Was fine friday?

  • gbowmancharlton
    George Bowman (@gbowmancharlton) reported

    @NOWTV paying £33.99 a month just to watch the F1 and its absolutely awful quality. Constantly buffering. When it isn't buffering, it is pixilated. Not good enough!

  • ItsJustMeDottie

    Anyone else just have problems with NowTv for F1 🤨

  • coferdinkt
    🦉 (@coferdinkt) reported

    @DavidBoink Yeah, would be better not to pay for Virgin as then I could subscribe to some service like Netflix or Amazon prime or even NowTV which I don’t have. Only the fact that I need internet 7 days a week at the mo for work & the hassle of changing stops me!

    @Fiery40 That would be awful for me as I watch golf on Skysports, via Nowtv , which requires a pretty good speed.

    @JRiH2020 We're with NowTV. It's about £18.00 a month for landline and broadband. In two years we had one outage, but this was sorted quickly.

    @NOWHelpTeam nowtv arsenal game is constantly cutting out with errors every few minutes, not good enough!

    @NOWHelpTeam I’ve done all this last time it happened and I was told there was a problem viewing NOWTV on a PS4, has this been fixed or is that why, yet again I can’t watch the match?

    @NOWHelpTeam PS4 Pro. My other apps like Netflix are working without issue. It's just nowtv and has been like this for a month. I spoke to someone at NOW over the phone and i was supposed to get an email but never did.
