Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 1,061 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company.

Many people warmly appreciate the clear communication, professional guidance, and prompt responses received both over the telephone and via email interactions. Consumers state that it is easy to speak directly with knowledgeable human representatives instead of navigating automated systems. However, some customers also noted recurring difficulties regarding communication breakdowns, unexpected billing disputes, and complicated account transfers. A few reviewers experienced frustratingly long telephone wait times, annoying hold music, and general dissatisfaction when trying to resolve ongoing service problems.

Attentive and knowledgeable

Brad was very attentive and knew your products very well, he guided me to what appears to be the best plan for my business and this straight forward attitude was very much appreciated.

Friendly and efficient service

(I thought I heard the name Olivia but it might have been Lydia....)

The service provided was friendly and efficient in the end. Thank you.

It was frustrating initially when the website for business sign-up did not allow the name of our church to be uploaded. Several attempts, several emails and several different people involved before my final call for help answered by Olivia/Lydia.

The team are working hard my behalf …

The team are working hard my behalf but they appear to be working g with their hands tied.
I do not understand why it has taken nearly twelve months to migrate our account.
The other thing I would like you to look at are your invoices as I more confused when I read them, they show a current balance then a minus figure, but the minus is not a credit it is a charge in any other accounts a minus means credit, but not in your world, I would appreciate a call to discuss

Sorting a problem in person

I've only given you 3 stars because (as it turned out) your online system for changing tariffs didn't work properly.
I was suspicious that it hadn't worked properly so I called and I have to say that Joseph's help was first rate and definitely worth 5 stars. He tried to help, established that he wasn't able to, and so undertook to find the answer to the problem and get back to me the next day. And he did exactly that, with my issue sorted out. Excellent, and how refreshing to get through promptly to a human being. Just a pity the system didn't work properly in the first place.

Helpful and polite

Had an issue registering online. Managed to get through to an advisor quickly, issue resolved and new account set up with no issues whatsoever. Call handler was polite, clear and ever so helpful. Checked all details, costs and thoroughly explained everything.
