Maria was very helpful

Maria was very helpful. I requested 3 different things. I was hesitated at first thinking it will be a very long phone call because what I was requesting wasn’t easy and they were time consuming. But Maria was very efficient and dealt with my queries very well. She was very polite and completed my requests promptly. I am one very happy customer.

Daylight Robbery

If I could give zero stars that would be it. They have been charging me double any other provider for six years and would not give any explanation other than ,well prices have gone up’ when my bill doubled. They are bigger thieves than Peter Morrell, Anyway I have left them quicker than Scotland left the 2026 World Cup
Shop around away from these roges

Great experience. The advisor was understanding, resolved all of my queries efficiently, and provided excellent customer service. I'm also glad to have a UK-based call centre, which made the experience even better.

Incredibly hard to work with

Incredibly hard to work with. They have made an error on our account 2 years ago. I am still chasing them to correct the issue. Even logging a complaint did not help. They just stating the fact that this has been done on our account and ignore any request to rectify the issue.
