Although sometimes you have to wait for a bit on the CS number, I have always been able to get through. Try during the day rather than evenings if you can.

Thanks, but i've now passed it on to Ofcom. They appear to be treating this as just another routine enquiry/complaint and are not affording me the appropriate treatment as a vulnerable person.
