    @NOWTV . Brilliant concept no follow through. Don’t what the problem is with your connections but it’s not the internet. Oh well there’s always Netflix.

    @nowtvhelp @NOWTV Please can you let me know where I can direct a written complaint. My tweets and emails are going unanswered and this problem is unresolved. I’m not getting what I am paying for.

    @NOWTV @nowtvhelp I’m wondering whether or not you’re going to address the ongoing issues with your system: crashes, endless-malfunctions, etc., or do you not care? Are you running #nowtv into the ground in the hope of bullying people into buying #skytv?

    @NOWHelpTeam @NOWTV For past 2 days I keep get an error message and the program crashes whenever I try to watch anything can't get more than 3 seconds. I think it has something to do with the ads. Can you help?

    Bro it’s so funny that I’m getting constant buffering watching NowTV (owned by Sky and I use Virgin broadband) But the second I switch to my bedroom’s router, no issues Yeah bro, love ‘free markets’ where you get throttled for using other companies’ products

    Watching on NowTV which has possibly the worst sound levels of any streaming platform (on purpose- you have to be a premium subscriber to get decent sound- wild i know).

    So @NOWHelpTeam how do I speak to a PERSON. I was considering you for #BROADBAND but only if you have PHONE support for problems. If (my) #NOWTV BB fails I cannot use the internet to reach you, so I would be 100% stuffed. What do I do in that situation?

    @NOWHelpTeam What are you talking about? I'm telling you it didn't work. I've had no confirmation because it didn't work. This was very clear in the previous tweet. This is the worst customer service ever. What's the matter with you? #nowtv @NOW
