Ive spent the last 2hrs in Virginmedia Instagram chat with a request to cancel my services and have gone through all the security and given the reason why. I also pointed out I'm hard of hearing when on the phone, so 2hrs later their final message is to phone them to complete my cancellation request!!! So I'm stressed and not happy now as it was going so well.

Fire off a CEO addressed email. Get some compo for not being disable friendly.

I've managed to get the normal live chat working I had to use Google Chrome to see the button, so I think a human is now processing it.

Normally I can use a phone, hearing isn't hopeless but when I tried last week the line was too quiet so gave up.

So far I'm impressed how easy it is going on live chat, I tried WhatsApp and they have never replied in over 2 weeks. Lol

Edit - all done that took all afternoon!

Edit 2 - just got the email confirmation and a phone call at the same time so I guess that'll be VM trying to keep me, I'm not answering it. I'm expecting the mobile to ring next!

The NHS waiting lists in Wales are so massive that they have started to use private doctors and nurses inside NHS hospitals in the evenings and weekends to try to clear the backlog.

Treatment? No. Just invite you by phone to attend a consultation (with a clerk).

I just took our daughter for her "consultation", today, a Sunday.

Confirm name, address and DOB. Are you still having the problem? Yes, so we can only offer you an endoscopy in about 2 years. Do you wish to go ahead? We'll add you to the list, goodbye.

All that could have been done with a short phonecall.

I cancelled mine using the chat, it was very easy (and pretty quick).

I tried WhatsApp but they never answered, my problem with live chat is it never gave me the option button in Vivaldi so I resorted to Chrome a browser I never normally use, but after that it was very easy, I just had to log into my account to pass security.
