    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.

  • _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."

  • 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!

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

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

  • diddydi1977 diane riley (@diddydi1977) reported

    @nowtv I have paid the entertianment package and still asking for payment, your chatbot is useless and the comminoty cannot help and no pne in call centre can discuss tv only broadband! What do you suggest as I have been trying 5 days. Thos is ridiculous

  • BiteYourBrum Bite Your Brum (@BiteYourBrum) reported

    Right, as someone who binged the other seasons and didn’t watch week to week, when will I be able to watch Succession S4 (GMT) and do the episodes still drop weekly? It’s still go NOWTV (eg Sky) right? Someone help me out, because searching for this information hasn’t helped 😭

  • NeonBrown10 Neon Brown 🍌 (@NeonBrown10) reported

  • ACWChemtools CHEMICAL TOOLS (@ACWChemtools) reported

    Is #nowtv the worse website ever. I cannot believe in response to "I cant login" the route to a solution is to ask you to login????

  • SamLeslie2 Sam Leslie (@SamLeslie2) reported

    @bt_uk I’m a new BT customer and for 3 days straight I have rang your customer service as I cannot access NowTV. No one can help and advises to ring back day after day. Yet you have the capability to send me my first bill which includes NowTV. I’m now regretting coming to you

  • denisewilson74 Denise (@denisewilson74) reported

    @NOWTV your platform is utter dogshit. Just signed up and can't access anything. Worst tv platform.
