On the odd occasion

On the odd occasion, I can’t log in to make a payment, and sometimes the automated service does not give me enough time to input the information needed. However, I am always treated very well when I call into the main helpline. I explain my problem and also that I am partially deaf, and can they speak up and slower. Nobody has made me feel inadequate, thank you to all your staff.

The advisor was helpful

The advisor was helpful, not pushy and really patient while I went through my list of questions! I am really happy to have made the switch - half price electric is just fantastic.

If I could give zero stars I would

If I could give zero stars I would! No one listens to you. The frustration of being cut off online x3 times and then having to start the chat again from the beginning is just ridiculous!! I was told 3 different options when I phoned them??

I am not happy with your…

I am not happy with your representative.
I was informed that after my account is set up, I will be able to go to quarterly billing.
I phoned customer services; I was told this service is no longer an option.
This is very disappointing.
I was shocked that I have not been with you for a month; you have already taken money from my account.
That is definitely not a good experience.

Never had a problem with the service but wasn't happy I had a price increase a couple of months before my tariff was due to change and went up again.. but on a whole it is what it is I'd say all the utility companies are the same
