  • 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

    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.

    @jesslouiseaylxn Just to update you: after 22days of the worst broadband/phone service ever, I returned to NowTV on my original, capped deal, and Shell now have the brazen cheek to bill me for "early termination" I'm 78, but not senile, and I intend to fight the bastards. How are you?

  • JCollaro Johnny Collaro 💙 (@JCollaro) reported

    @NOWTV This version of Blithe Spirit is terrible, beautiful settings but you'd think it was the local am-dram performing. Stood 30 mins before dropping...

  • jonnytwang Jono Hall (@jonnytwang) reported

    @NOWTV Your job is to help I apologised for being a bit aggy at the beginning and you made fun of me. Trying to insinuate I was the error like I haven't plugged it in do you think everybody you talk to is stupid.

  • SoFiveYearsAgo Logan (@SoFiveYearsAgo) reported
