    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.

    . @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

  • ibaird73 Ian Baird (@ibaird73) reported from Birmingham, England

    @nowtv Can’t access my day pass to Sky Sports. Rebooted everything. Other passes are working fine. Others seem to be having issues with @SkySports too! Help!

  • 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 😩

  • 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.

    That's the trouble with watching the footie on NOWTV while having Twitter open. You get the goal flash well before you see the goal...

  • steeleyp_ PS (@steeleyp_) reported

    @Cricket_Ali @MikeMartin764 Indeed! Very, very poor from @NOWTV . Short of an embargo being broken, I'm utterly mystified how or why they have got this so very wrong.

  • JoshSwale Joshua Swale (@JoshSwale) reported

    @NOWTV Safari and google chrome on MacBook Pro, getting the same error across both browsers

  • JamesfWells James Wells (@JamesfWells) reported

    @NOWTV why is my picture quality poor despite a 60mbps connection and the fact that I've paid an extra amount for full HD? Is anyone else having issues?

  • andrevanes André van Es 🇪🇺 🇳🇱🌷 🇬🇧 #FBPE #FBPEGlobal (@andrevanes) reported

    @NOWTV I've tried it from both firefox and chrome (currently Firefox), don't see an error message. Only full grey screen, see no error message. Sound available.

    @tonyflaig @NOWTV Same problem here, Sky Cinema. We CANCELLED them last month and yet now have another bill from them. ******* disgraceful company. NEVER again. #NOWTV @NOWTV

  • FirefoxLord Lord_FireFox (@FirefoxLord) reported

    @nowtvhelp Yeah, but have you used it... don’t just read from your script. You have heard of Apple right? It is very important to make sure your apps across all Apple operating systems work correctly. (Free trials continue NOWTV can’t get traction)
