Professional and friendly when you get through

Once I got through (over 13 mins) I spoke with Martine who was very helpful. She dealt with my issue in a professional way and always explained what she was doing if she had to put me on hold.

All good experience from the customer advisor

Initially the wait to be connected was a bit long. But once i got to speak to a member of your staff the experience was as good as i have ever had on a phone call as a customer. The member of your staff should be highly praised and rewarded by Business Stream. Thanks you to this staff member for such a good experience.
