-
I am happy with the service, and have no issues with speed so far. I don’t use it all that much and live alone so am the only one using it. I like the cost and I like that they mostly leave me alone and don’t send a bunch of emails. It took ages to get it set up because it didn’t work at first and they acted a bit like I was stupid and couldn’t figure out how to plug stuff in or press a reset button - which was annoying. But it works now and as long as it continues to work I don’t have any issues.
-
Very happy. Quick to set up, fast broadband, all very easy and quick.
-
Quick switch over, reliable company. Would recommend, kept me up to date with the process of switching over.
