Would have left earlier, but had no other decent provider in my area. As soon as i got news that brsk was available it was installed the next day.

Somewhere in VM headquarters the management are busy giving themselves high-fives and ordering trebles all round.

“Yes....a hat-trick...we’re number one, we’re number one.....

...oh wait a minute......"

They cannot possibly not know how bad they are, I assume they just dont care.

She has been with VM for nearly 20 years, and has experience in all areas including technical issues, she just worked though every problem I was having from a security/login issue to our account being in my husband's name and who is no longer able to understand what is going on but who can not yet be regarded as vulnerable enough to let the account be transferred into my name.

She was an absolute gem and I came away with so much having been sorted and she even reduced, our already well discounted charges, to a lot less than we were paying 3 years ago.

Yes I chose to renew our contract but she has now marked the records to show all the details regarding my husband's health and hearing problems, and that I have full authority to deal with any future issues and to pass any queries about this instruction direct to her team if I have any problems not being the account holder in the future.

Whether I will be able to get anyone on the First Line to redirect my call, then get through to Customer Relations quickly ( 1 minute !!!! ) is still to be seen, as just getting through to First Line agents let alone then have them listen to me is a massively, frustrating and long winded process to begin with.
