Ultimately, if a company doesn't want to supply a service to a customer then generally it doesn't have to. The exception being those with a universal service obligation like water companies.

Good point. Plus newspapers have similar columns too.
...or if it's because the customer is being denied service because they belong to one of the protected groups a la the gay cake incident.

I've also been sent this link by someone that others may find useful too:

Richard maybe try the cancellations department? Imo experience companies soon answer if they think you're leaving.
I thought of that, but i'm still in contract. Also, the complaints about not being able to get through also include cancellations/retentions!!!

If nothing is done by the end of this week it will have been a month without services, so I think I could leave due to their breach of contract, but will have to check with our legal people first.

My phone stopped working and has gone in for repair, unfortunately the cheapo phone i've borrowed doesn't have this facility (and I use a tablet). Do you know if you can make calls from a tablet?
