    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

  • _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

    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.

    @Plusnet It’s an extension the wire runs from the master socket under the carpet to it. I’ve tried plugging my nowtv router into it and it does not work. If I join plusnet could I not use the extension one then?

  • Peng3rs Peng3rs (@Peng3rs) reported

    @NOWTV the whole set up and website is awful, why is it so ****? Can’t login on one laptop because the app thinks I’m recording it, the other one unable to connect to sign in comes up. Waste of money

  • DigitalGriffter Digital Griff (@DigitalGriffter) reported

    @plex Once installed, the Plex app works with secured connections again, the Samsung Smart Hub App store works again, and you don't get certificate errors when using apps (e.g. @NOWTV)

  • LomasDan Dan (@LomasDan) reported

    @OpenreachHelp I was meant to have our broadband go live last Monday but this hasn’t happened as NowTV described it as an internal issue on your end. Nowtv has informed us they are waiting for a response from you, please may you look into this?

  • MrPeteEdwards Pete Edwards🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 📷 (@MrPeteEdwards) reported

    @PaulHusband_ @NOWTV Well that is my issue with Sky as well , and the sky app.. ads all the time. Netflix and Prime don't do it.. it's so , so.. old hat

  • SkyHelpTeam Sky Help Team (@SkyHelpTeam) reported

    @kingbaxtie Good morning David 👋 I'm very sorry to read this. I would advise getting in touch with NowTV directly to get support with any broadband issues you're experiencing. Thanks, Ellie

  • KayDotU Sakas Sibling 🇰🇪 🇵🇸 (@KayDotU) reported

    Hey guys @NOWTV. Realised there are a lot of programmes I cannot search for or access via my TV app. When I login to my account on the Web browser, I'm able to find these programmes then add to watch list.

  • Worldwideqa Daniel Raymond (@Worldwideqa) reported

    @NOWTV new router, wireless, wired, over 4mbps and still the buffering. Same setup and no problems with AppleTV, Netflix and all others. Will this be fixed or not? It is not worth the money in its current state.

  • cruisegle David (@cruisegle) reported

    @virginmedia is there an issue in the #Petersfield area? Moved to yourselves a month or so ago after issues with @NOWTV #broadband. Yours is even worse. Drops everyday and for two days I've hardly been able to get on. Work from home. No chance!!!
