    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.

  • 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."

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

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

    @NOWTV Hopefully, our date for getting Wi-fi has been delayed by 30+days, and we cannot work (keyworkers) and loosing money...

  • scuba_dooba_doo Jason Cockrem (@scuba_dooba_doo) reported

    @NOWTV @WeAreOpenreach @OpenreachHelp Bloody useless the pair of them, couldn’t organise a piss-up in a brewery. Internet and landline outage in Faringdon, Oxfordshire since last Tuesday in the property of an elderly alone without support. Helplines are inept!

  • NitewingRock 🎄Rock |❓0❓❓ #TheSnyderCut🎄 (@NitewingRock) reported

    @AlexTakesDubs NowTV has some great movies but man do they need to fix their shitty service

  • MillsWesley Wesley miller (@MillsWesley) reported

    @NOWTV any chance of some assistance? Paid a months pass for the football and not getting it. Awful.

  • Kimekins1 Kimekins (@Kimekins1) reported

    @TomLawwrence @NOWTV I am also a key worker and this is terrible service at such a crucial time

  • Tachyon0011 Tachyon0011 (@Tachyon0011) reported

    Does @nowtv intend to leave disabled customers with a poor unusable nowtv app over Christmas. @nowtvhelp get the seperate Nowtv app back on. Its Christmas. You know it can be done. A real good coder can do it in less than a day.

  • MoodySilvs Silvs (@MoodySilvs) reported

    @EGadsby I hate to say this but we bought a Samsung not long ago and had a similar issue with NowTV app. Off at the plug and back on worked for us.

  • sheppardcjs Chris Sheppard (@sheppardcjs) reported

    @NOWTV Hi, that’s not worked. I still have the same error message.

  • mark_wootten Mark (@mark_wootten) reported

    @PeterBayliss @NOWTV I didn’t get around to watching it. I popped on Greatest Showman and then watched something bloody awful called The Festival which I have had on my Sky planner since September.

  • Deenkies Deborah Kennedy (@Deenkies) reported

    @NOWTV My internet has stopped working from 1pm today and is still not back on. Called customer service earlier but they couldn’t help. The router is saying connected but can’t stream or access internet on any of our devices. I’ve switched off router and reset but still nothing
