    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.

  • _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

    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

    @NOWHelpTeam Hi I'm having trouble with NowTV on the Roku streaming network 😮 was working fine this morning and when I got on just now it has disappeared from my channels 😮 has there been an update or do I need to talk to Roku about this?

  • kev_johnson Kev Johnson (@kev_johnson) reported

    @alexellisuk @Zoom I'd just pay for the project. At worst, I could cut back on Netflix, NowTV, Ubi Connect, Spotify etc etc etc if the project made my life easier and I couldn't budget the extra $10/month

  • xim123 Stephen Brown (@xim123) reported

    So that's a "no" in response to maybe the NowTv rebranding will help clear up confusion over the different passes.

  • spike_1975 Jason mundon-carter (@spike_1975) reported

    @LightCastPod I'm glad we have it on @NOWTV instead in the UK. Hopefully they won't crash

  • realaleiac Math C (@realaleiac) reported

    Well - it seems the definition of a free trial for @NOW is to charge you straight away. I believe that's mis-selling, isn't it @NOWHelpTeam? Anyone else had this issue? #freetrial #NowTV

  • stevenmccall Steven McCall (@stevenmccall) reported

    @NOW_Ireland This is ridiculous. I now can't watch it legitimately in Ireland because I don't have Sky, and NowTV is the worst, definitely not 4K. I would have much preferred being able to spend €20 myself from Google Play Movies or something.

  • mawhittaker Mark Whittaker #FBPE 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🇬🇧🔶 (@mawhittaker) reported

    Whoever redesigned the #nowtv format, deserves a retro award. So confused a layout I no longer look to it for new shows to watch. AWFUL! Another Netflix refugee.

  • pauldungey Paul Dungey - a life with dogs ❤️ (@pauldungey) reported

    Why is Nowtv the worst streaming quality out there? Tonight's football was awful. My internet was fine. 😫 @NOWTV @premierleague

  • racerdesigns Chris (@racerdesigns) reported

    @Alex_Gillon @F1 @SkySportsF1 I got NOWTV on an offer for 3 months, then when it ended and I went to cancel it I got offered another 3 months for 19.99 a month. Hoping for the same deal again! However, if not, I guess I can't afford to watch my own work. I do watch the football too but the price is still mad!

    Worst internet provider of all time #nowtvbroadband @nowtv and I was with AOL....customer service is shite as well
