Well I can only comment on personal experience of two accounts.
1 business, 1 personal (new).
Raised two tickets on the business one in the last month. Both answered within 3 hours. Answered reasonably.
Raised tickets on the new personal one. All answered within 7 hours (as per wait time on the portal). New installation went smoothly, and working fine.
After reading these forums I wouldn't have believed or expected that.
I had assumed PN had melted down.
