    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.

  • _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."

  • 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

    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.

  • 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!

    @NOWHelpTeam @RNID I'm sure the money Sky pay is nice, but if you are worth anything, and actually work in the interest of the deaf, please investigate how their subsidiary NowTV consider copy-pasting plot synopsis as a final fix to subtitles being broken.

    Anyone else with nowtv having issues with their wifi?

  • everythinglwry EverythingLowery 🍿 (@everythinglwry) reported

    The NowTV app Ui is awful, worse than the old Prime Video Ui

  • 7ellis96 Sam Elliott 🌻 (@7ellis96) reported

    @NOWTV if there is a problem with your broadband network, and you can detect it is with the network outside of my home, and you even say "we will not need to access tour home" why do *I* have to book an engineer? Surely you should fix broken networks without me requesting it?

    @BTSopenreach Hi, My name is Neil clutterbuck and I have been waiting for an Internet connection since the 9th September through NOWTV. I had a new job to start on the 9th of September and I was promised a connection by then. Since then I haven't had any update. Can you help me.

  • Begdelicious N (@Begdelicious) reported

    @NOWTV why the hell is the streaming quality always shite?

  • jonoholland Jono Holland (@jonoholland) reported

    @JensonButton Awful news - we were hoping for F1TV like the rest of the world but now we have to hit the BSkyB paywall which is 5x as much (NowTV) Or a Sky Contract which is 10x more

  • jjongyiboist essie⁷ (@jjongyiboist) reported

    i just wanted to watch the new house of the dragon episode but forgot nowtv doesnt work outside the uk 😔

  • jimmywim Jim Love 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@jimmywim) reported

    Anyone know a good pirate copy of House of the Dragon? NowTV is absolute garbage, paying for a service that doesn't work.

    @toobbroadband Call you guys for you to say there's no issue your end & it's NowTV? I know NowTV is pants but didn't have 4 buffer screens in the space of 2 mins before we switched to Toob! We have called, we had no help given.
