Customer retention team and the "we're moving house" team aare/were the same people, but the admin below/arround them was terrible. We did get a VERY good deal when they reconnected us but the unnanounced number change was a weird "that could've been bad" thing. Frontline call handlers are generally terrible but if you can get a direct line for someone senior it's a lot better

Yes, it's persuading the (useless) frontline call handler to put you through to someone competent which is hard.
