    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.

  • 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!

  • _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.

  • 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

    @Foxhound_Maisey @thelegendofdan_ NowTV feels like an app built for PS3. We got a month recently to watch a things and it’d constantly drop to “recorded on a phone in the cinema” quality.

  • ju1ianLondon julian (@ju1ianLondon) reported

    @EmilyThornberry £157 is costly especially when ads on iplayer could help fund the BBC. Sky news/nowtv are very good & given how we stream, curate and consume telly nowadays it’s no longer sustainable to keep taxing and criminalising the public for the privilege of owning a Telly.

    @NOWHelpTeam Hi, we have a nowtv smart stick that seems to have stopped working. The TV constantly says 'No signal' we have tried all the usual turn it on/off etc, reset the stick reconnect to the WiFi... But nothing. Can you help please?

  • Gizem_aatila Gizem💋 (@Gizem_aatila) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Hi, I have NowTv Broadband and for the past week it has been extremely slow. It takes a few minutes to load a page, that's if it even loads it. I have restarted it multiple times but it doesn't really help. Can you please help?

  • debfury Debbie Campbell (@debfury) reported

    @NOWTV I cannot get in contact with anybody at NOW via your website and I cannot sign in as it keeps saying sign in is not available. I need to cancel my account but I can't do that if I can't log in! Please help!

  • WillAsIfGlass William (@WillAsIfGlass) reported

    Hello @NowTV can you please tell me why the Now TV app on fire stick is literally the worst app of all time? I am deeply confused by the fact that it neither lets me search nor let’s me scroll across options

  • PavittAmy Amy Pavitt (@PavittAmy) reported

    @NOWTV my elderly mother has tv and broadband from you, has been paying £18 a month and for the last 3 months she's been complaining of poor video quality. Turns out she's averaging 0.29mps download speed. I can't find a number to call, all online...she's 80 years old guys...
