It was giving me very good space.

The support is fair. Sometimes the agents understand the problem at hand and sometimes they don't.

I paid the due amount on this account and within time too. You raised a ticket and asked me to send a screenshot confirming the payment from my banking app. I have done so and since then I have had no response to my several messages and to a new updated ticket response sent to accounting by your online chat staff member Lyon. I am referring this now, to my solicitor.

Very poor integration of changes made in Nov. That were not made known to front line and above support techs, regarding admin privileges. Logging in requires so many steps just to get to cp because of the non stop promotions. Nothing is one click access. Terrible design. Also, they push you towards chat vs phone support but you ask a question on chat and wait ±5 minutes for any response, which tells me they are juggling who knows how many calls. Lastly, please change the on hold music to option OFF
