They answered the call within 5 minutes which is a big plus when dealing with ultra slow costumer services. They were clear, jargon free and didn't take too long to resolve my issue.

Simple to navigate and edit all the options. Website ok if not a little clunky at times.
Not all options and information transferred/translated well from the comparison website to the First Alternative site. (Couldn't edit one option which didn't appear correct for example.) Overall a good product at a reasonable price.
