I've no idea what the customer service was like (having never dealt with them) but all the good customer service in the world will only take you so far if the product is poor.

If you have to travel from London to Scotland (as I often do) it's worth knowing that East Coast rail does not charge for wifi, but Virgin West Coast does. It's not the price which is a problem so much as the hassle of having to get your credit card accepted. For me, this is enough to make me travel East Coast every time, and I've written to both rail services to tell them so. MST
