    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.

    @itvhub been trying use on NowTv and it’s not worked for days!!! Can someone please sort it out!!! Unusable!!

  • 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

    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

  • MrRamtastic Conner Crowder (@MrRamtastic) reported from Swadlincote, England

    @NigelOwen77 @AdKempy @dcfcofficial Not that reasonable when you consider the poor quality of stream, dull commentary, the fact you can get NowTV sports for an entire 24 hours for less money That said I do pay for it most weekends 😩

  • _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."

    @NOWHelpTeam I’m massively being mucked around! I have been billed £35 for Sky Cinema since ordering it on November 28th for an agreed ‘2 months for the price of 1’ deal. I tried calling Sky TV, but they told me to call NowTV. NowTV then told me to use chat which doesn’t work WTF

    @videotech_ @NOW Oh yeah no NowTV is ******* awful with its tiers, I don’t bother with it. @m_dmccallum showed me it when he was watching Peacemaker (I recommend btw) and even he unsubbed after that show.
