    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

    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

    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.

    got sent through a loop of 6 different help pages, 4 google search tabs with "delete nowtv account" and ended up having to email talking about how i have no use for their service and don't plan on ever coming back

  • dismaltune mikaelin ↯ (@dismaltune) reported

    @f1spidey Ah see my issue here is that I have a week free trial of nowtv and this is the only time I have free so I gotta watch this FAST lol

  • lindsmiddleton Well Fed&Well Read (@lindsmiddleton) reported

    @DrAnnieGray Me neither but I've managed via NowTV! Maybe a wee monthly free trial might help?

  • KellyPa09846044 Kelly Palmer (@KellyPa09846044) reported

  • 2019Novelist author_ess (@2019Novelist) reported

    Both @EE & @NOWTV quick to take your money but don’t wanna provide quality service.

  • davidraisonart David Raison (@davidraisonart) reported

    @nowtv why doesn’t my account activation work? Why can’t I speak to a human? Grrr!

  • Plowra76 Alexandra Plowright (@Plowra76) reported

    @NOWTV I pay extra for Boost so I can watch uninterrupted. Apparently trailers for other shows don’t count and worst of all contain spoilers. Thanks for ruining the grey’s anatomy mid season cliffhanger for me 😡
