    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.

  • sophiemorbey morble (@sophiemorbey) reported from Birmingham, England

    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

  • sophiemorbey morble (@sophiemorbey) reported from Birmingham, England

    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.

  • 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!

  • _Rachele_ Rachele (@_Rachele_) reported from Birmingham, England

    . @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."

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

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

    @NOWTV Season 3 episode 10 of Magnum is not available. Usually available at 21:00 Sundays. Is there an issue please?

  • ojclayt OJ (@ojclayt) reported

    Only NowTV wifi would send an engineer out to fix your wifi and it ends up being worse once it’s ‘fixed’ absolute **** *****

  • davmcdngh David McDonagh (@davmcdngh) reported from Hove, England

    Anyone else’s @NOWTV not working ?

  • ScottCK66 ScottCK66 (@ScottCK66) reported

    @claudelittner @BuyCarParts @GLS_Germany Can't get the staff nowadays Claude. I was as frustrated at NOWTV for their ploy to get people to pay for a better quality picture. So they fuzzed the picture, watching the football the players were blurred you couldn't see who was on the ball. Yet adbreaks were crystal clear😤

  • lonny_aster meez (@lonny_aster) reported

    @fringebats Whatever you do I wouldn't recommend NowTV, Fatma. The streaming quality is pretty horrendous and I had to endure that for the entire final season of Game of Thrones lol

  • amizner Andrew Mizner (@amizner) reported

    @nowtvhelp @NOWTV That's odd, because I had a bit of trouble with my password but then successfully logged in and started watching before it shut me out. Have DMed main page, thanks.

  • NqueenJv JVNqueen (@NqueenJv) reported

    @NOWTV Thank you. That's a shame, I'd hope that @WalkingDead_AMC @AMC_TV would be able to supply subtitles to help viewers watching TWD on NOWTV.

  • stevedavis19990 Steven Davis (@stevedavis19990) reported

    @nowtvhelp I am having issues because @nowtv purposely make it difficult to cancel in the hope you can take some extra money from people. There should be an option to cancel on your account through simply clicking a "Cancel" button like you can do with any other service such as Netflix.

  • madtvallen 🇬🇧Mad🇿🇼 (@madtvallen) reported

    @nowtvhelp I've tried everything. I cannot login to Nowtv which means I cannot watch anything and I cannot cancel. This has been the case for a year.

  • DarthKinkus J Ω E Y 🇮🇪 (@DarthKinkus) reported

    @fringebats I didn't know NowTV had Sky channels what ?? 😭 I just hope we're able to get good quality streams of it from here if it's the only option 🙁 Thank you though Fatma!
