Terrible service. Just subscribed for a monthly sub and it's rubbish how difficult it's to watch something. They should learn from Netflix and Amazon Prime. I am going to cancel it NOW.

Signed up with them last August. Not sure how but I signed up to the sports channel in error. When l received their email confirmation l cancelled this and the amount was refunded. This was a bit time consuming to sort out. I was also advised to set up a pin number to avoid this happening in the future. No problems with broadband, TV or phone.

I have had a similar experience to some of the other reviews in that I've found a pass has been set up on my account without my authorisation. After going through two different complaints procedures NOW are still refusing to refund me. I don't know how this pass got added to my account. It was a sports pass and I, nor anyone in my family, am not in the least bit interested in sports, so it makes no sense. NOW have assured me that they cannot add a pass to an account from their end, which I believe. If they had done it would be fraudulent. They've also told me that my account hasn't been used by a third party. What they haven't told me is how the pass was added to my account without me being aware. However, they've admitted that it's possible to 'accidently purchase a pass without realising.' This, surely, is extremely poor practice. They know that it's an issue and that people have purchased passes by accident, yet they allow it to continue. It should not be possible to buy something by accident. An analogy would be walking into Currys and accidently buying a washing machine because you happened to walk past it on the way to look at the TVs. I had been with NOW since 2015 and had been paying for an entertainment pass which, when I cancelled, I was paying £9.99 a month. So for the sake of the £100 they have taken from me without my agreement and refused to pay back they have lost a regular monthly income of £9.99. They obviously see more value in the £100 than in keeping a long term satisfied customer. During one of my complaints NOW advised me to update my financial details as the credit card on my account had expired (that's what alerted me to the sports pass.) I don't trust NOW with any of my financial details and I will not be using their services again anyway, so all they have on my account is an expired credit card. At least they will not be able to take any more money without my consent. I have tried to completely shut down my account, but it doesn't seem to be possible. I will be taking my complaint further because I don't think they should be allowed to get away with what they have done. I would also like to stop them from being able to do this to someone else. In the meantime, if you're reading this and wondering whether to get an account with NOW, I hope this review has been helpful.

Customer service are not helpful at all. Once they have your card details, beware. They like to take money from your account. I found subscriptions that I had not ordered. I think you can get everything without the Now stick as most of the different content is paid for on passes, so you get very little in reality. Netflix, amazon Prime, just about anything will offer better value. They love to sell you a monthly pass on the back of a free trial. I wonder if they make alot of money out of mistakes? Be very careful if you hate to waste money.

Terrible service. Not worth saving pennies, go with talk talk. I chose this due to non-contract, as someone who moves house every 6 months. Not worth the £60+ installation. Engineer date delayed by one week. Then, delayed activation by 3 weeks, cannot contact relevant teams directly have to wait for a call back by 'tier 2'. Waited three weeks, received no phone calls. Received a text saying to call back generic NowTV number as they tried to contact me but couldnt get through. Was informed my order was cancelled. They cannot confirm why, they presume it was previous tenant. I think It was Now TV. Generally customer service is diabolical and have zero information. I was told I'd have to re-order, if you look at timeline you'll imagine that's another 4 weeks, while having to work from home :) Don't do it

ARE YOU WITH NOWTV , please check your bank statements if you have had nowtv , I checked my bank statement and found i was paying nowtv £11.99 month but I don't have nowtv, spoken to there custmer support services and found out that I cancelled my nowtv phone and broadband years ago but i didn't cancel movies as this is a separate payments. they have been charging my account £11.99 for years I thought when i cancelled broadband they stop all payments, but they don't, so now I have cancelled the payments nowtv are unwilling to pay me back all the payments I have made since 2018 , Yes its my fault for not checking my statements properly, But it was something I just overlooked, I would be a little more careful when checking your bank statements to see what your paying out , nowtv are complete scum by letting this go on, there could be other companies that allso don't cancel all your payments when you cancelled. Be aware

I would give them zero stars if I could. Appalling customer service, couldn’t care less what you think only interested in money huge mistake signing with them. I have lodged a formal complaint against them with the regulator. If you are thinking of using any of Now TV services, DONT. GO anywhere else then with them

Their service & passes are generally a pretty good deal for those of us who don't want to & can't be tied to contracts with subscription TV & streaming services. The level of customer service via their website & live webchat in particular can be very good. Just make sure to keep an eye on when initial monthly passes come to their end as they auto renew for another month.

Purchased a £199 ten month Sky sports pass on 3/8/19 ,they could not get it working then or since 8/9/19.Just as bad is the complete lack of customer service,i've only been able to discover a help email address.After responding to the first 3 or 4 contacts they have given up for the next approx 7 or 8.Even pleading for their claimed technical team and senior management involvement has absolutely no effect.I have never dealt with such an incompetent company

We have sadly been robbed by now tv. We have proof that we have not used the service since a automatic rolling contract triggered. They will not return hundreds of pounds they have stolen from me. When I started a case against them they lost the data that showed my account had no activity, very convenient!

I bought a pass for a month. Cancelling pass is very difficult. They keep asking questions. I thought I had cancelled it on Thursday 27.06.19 but it was not cancelled. So I ended up paying 2nd month's subscription. They have not mentioned that you will receive an email in 3 hours after cancelling your pass in how to cancel a pass section of FAQs of my account. If they had done it and I would not have received an email after 3 hours I would have gone back to the cancellation process again. I am very disappointed with it.

this review is for NOW TV's woeful "fab fibre". Having got a consistent 5 - 6mbs upload speed with my previous supplier (BT) when I switched to Now TV it stayed the same for several months. Then in January this year it dropped to 0.4 mbs which is very slow and affects streaming quality and my ability to upload files. The customer services basically said tough, we don't guarantee any kind of upload speeds. No matter how hard I tried to make the point that it made the service unuseable, they didn't care. I had to cancel my contract early. Be warned.

Lots of good shows. But unfortunately the website and app are pretty useless. For example, if you get to the end of the episode and you haven't clicked Play Next then you'll have to go back to the website in your browser and carry on with the Continue Watching section... as the app doesn't provide this basic option to you. Also, the most annoying this is that if you leave it too long it will log you out so you will have to log back in again on the browser and then refresh in the app and then go back to the browser to open up the film you want to watch. The whole thing is extremely annoying and poorly designed. Also, I wish they had more nature documentaries as they only have about 15 for the whole Wild channel.
