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.

@NOWTV Right now the only path I can see to actually chatting to a human being at @NOW is to physically rip the line to my house out of the box over the road. So that the line test will fail. So that I can tell them the router is broken. It's a magnificent bit of banality of evil.

@skytv When your NowTV sports package is so expensive, do you feel comfortable outputting 720p quality and charging £3 extra for HD ( no way near) quality? Just watched a match on Amazon Prime, and it puts yours to shame. At that cost, 4K should be expected.

@TCL_Europe bought a QLED TV with Google, advertised as NOWTV app available ...but it's not. What is the issue? Not happy being sold a lie!

@OpenreachHelp …pleased). We didn’t realise the extent of the damage until we called an Openreach engineer out about the flailing cables and he took a look and confirmed there was damage and a really poor job done. However, he couldn’t help us as apparently we needed to phone NowTV who provide

@HSouthwellFE I once asked a friend at Sky and was genuinely astonished to find out NowTV wasn't some kind of blackop, deliberately kept just barely functional but always awful, to drive sky subscriptions

@NOWHelpTeam Your self service checker is awful, it originally claimed the internet appeared slow but the speeds normal (33Mbit down), it then claimed the issue was within the house yet nothing has changed in the house and I even tried the other NowTV router. Same issue via master socket.

@NOWHelpTeam Trying to view sites of VPN providers (Nord, Express, SurfShark) but can't - w/o using a VPN?! If I use TunnelBear they work, but if not they time out. Are you blocking them? Not trying to use a VPN to view NowTV, but to shop for a VPN for secure browsing overseas

@NOW hi, a friend of mine has a fault on her landline. Nowtv will not recognise or accept her email address when she tries to sign in to her account. Please advise as this is causing distress. Thank you.

@NOWHelpTeam Not sure, but I've gone back to nowtv stick and the quality still nowhere near as good as bt. Paying extra for boost I'd expect at least as good. You have the tech to provide better quality. Obviously a policy not to, so as not to tempt some away from paying silly money for sky.
