    Is there a way to give ZERO stars? I am shocked at how bad their customer service is. Customer service, online or on phone, is out of country. Representatives have little to no ability offer substantive help. I had an unauthorized charge for an amount substantially higher than initially agreed and they refused to refund the amount. Also, was provided no indication of renewal, no indication of increased rates, and made no agreement to the term. Absolutely despicable. Caution to anyone that subscribes, they will not honor their rates and they will charge you whenever it suits them.
