I moved to Zen in 2017, following declining support standards and speed issues with my former ISP.

Both of these frowns turned upside when I joined Zen. I was a happy camper. Now I've got some beefs.

Support
-------

I've gotten satisfactory tech support over email, which is good because lately it's become all but impossible to use online chat anymore - just the option to leave a message. Given that this is one reason I left my ex-ISP, it makes me a little uneasy that things are going in the mega-provider direction.

Of bigger concern are the two messages (used via the 'leave a message' system detailed above) to sales since Christmas. All I wanted to do is upgrade my Fritz!Box which is allegedly offered to existing customers at a discounted rate. However they seem to be disinterested - I've not even had a reply.

Speed
-----

No quibbles here - puts Yorkshire's finest to shame.

Value
-----

Not the cheapest, but I don't care so much about that. I am dependent on reliable and fast, and I get that. So the value is there for me.

Services
--------

Not much to add of value here, I get what I need.

Contract renewal time soon, and since they don't seem to want to take my money for a new router - and I can't even get anyone to talk to me about taking my money - it's causing my eye to wander onto what else is out there.
