Excellent service
I was so happy to be able to talk to two helpful guys after only a short wait on the phone. I had no difficulty understanding them - so refreshing after the embarrassing struggles to understand strong accents plus the echo you get when talking to someone in a call centre in India.Both the Easyspace support guys gave me plenty of time to explain my problem and gave me excellent advice. When the final problem was still not solved one of the guys went onto my computer remotely and sorted it out. Such a relief! My stress levels have plummeted..........With my experience thus far I have no hesitation in recommending Easyspace',
