    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

    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

    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.

    I’m so appalled with the service that I’ve received from #nowtv Money taken, day pass didn’t work and emails ignored. Will I ever get a refund, who knows. 😡

  • IamTils Hashtag Trend (@IamTils) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam just added nowtv boost to stream on 2 devices, how long does it take to work? Isn’t immediately working

  • HorseJpeg Adriana 🌼 (@HorseJpeg) reported

    @Angelic_L @NOWTV Nevermind that they use that antiquated pop out player, it’s so 90s, awful user interface 🙄

  • gloriaerotica1 Gloria Go (@gloriaerotica1) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam I can't sign in to nowtv. I am getting the message "Unable to connect to sign in, please try again later" no matter what browser I use. What's going on?

  • ChrisHughesSays Chris Hughes (@ChrisHughesSays) reported

    @OpenreachHelp @NOWTV don’t seem prepared to do this, despite the original date of 09/12 having been missed and us now being left without service. An update was expected from yourselves today, but we’re now being quoted a different issue with operations on your end, and another week of waiting.

  • akeys55 gemmil (@akeys55) reported

    @ShaneBeattyNews Don’t mind NowTV, but without fail every movie we have watched in Now over the past 2 weeks has frozen at least once - we don’t have the same issue with Netflix or Prime.

  • julz_valentine Julz Valentine (@julz_valentine) reported

    I paid @NOW TV £11.99 to watch a series & a film. But found out it doesn't work on Chromebook only after I'd paid. @NOW TV - can you give me my money back? Why is there no warning before you buy?! #NOWTV #complaint #complaints

  • JonMcabe Jon McCabe (@JonMcabe) reported
