Great customer service by Dorsey

Today I spoke with Dorsey regarding a few issues I was having. I have to say he was first class at sorting the issues I had out. He's a credit to the company.
This hasn't always been the case dealing with business stream, but Dorsey was definitely the best person I've dealt with so far, so glad to see they are employing good and helpful people and providing good training for dealing with customers.
