  • 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.

  • _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."

  • carlsumner93 Carl Sumner (@carlsumner93) reported from Solihull, England

    @NOWHelpTeam hello, I can’t get into my nowtv account as it says incorrect username/password when I used my now tv the other night and can’t get sign back in and when I try and reset my password I click on the link the email I get sent then I’ve changed password but then error?

  • 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.

    @MikeFinleyMusic God isn’t he awful. He definitely has “the look” of someone with a dark side. FYI there’s a five parter about the same thing on Sky/NOWTV called Murder at the Cottage - more in depth, but more of him which is not so great

  • BlueRenWJF WayneF 🌱 (@BlueRenWJF) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam No. I've just signed up to NowTv and just keep having problems with launching it. If I do force stop everytime it works fine.

  • TotsiTweets Totsi Flack (@TotsiTweets) reported

    @BBCWomansHour had exact experience with Curry’s and NOWTV — only Twitter to customer service worked to resolve issues. It’s now my go-to solution.

  • Melzmelz1 Melz 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Melzmelz1) reported

    @NOWTV now just taking the pish. Finishing the few series I'm watching before ditching it, start a programme and have to suffer bunch of inane laugter at how stupid we are paying a subscription to avoid adverts with that god awful @McDonalds advert.

  • AltonTowersMike Michael Boyd (@AltonTowersMike) reported

    I can’t watch Netflix,Disney+,Sky on NowTv. I’m facing some intermittent problems, can’t even watch YouTube either. Everyone else having the same?

  • purlpirate claire r (@purlpirate) reported

    @NOWTV no broadband since Monday night, and now customer services are asking if we have had a flood! It's almost as if nobody is actually sure what the problem is, so not hopeful about the "it should be resolved within 72 hours of reporting"

  • Winterfell74 Bludgeon Riffola5150 (@Winterfell74) reported

    @itvhub Glad I'm not the only one experiencing these problems, well at least the final is on BBC 1. Alternative platform's, I can only think of probably NowTV, Dazn or an Iptv service.

  • ellmunford ells (@ellmunford) reported

    Where can I watch season 9+ of modern family in the UK? I’ve been using NOWTV but it’s hasn’t been working for days now and I need my fix :(

  • unlockedaisy 𝘋𝘦𝘦𝘋𝘶𝘣 (@unlockedaisy) reported

    @NOWTV @SkyHelpTeam Hi there, any known broadband problems in postcode: SK9 2SH? My friend is working from home, reset router and computer - still cannot get on the Internet 🙄

  • Mattdinio Matt Jeal (@Mattdinio) reported

    @virginmedia Been with you 1 month and had more broadband problems in 1 month (at least 1 complete loss of connection a week) than I have with NowTV over several years. I am working from home, sort it out, or I will leave It's a joke of a "service"
