I didn't say that someone would do anything about it right now, but if you put it in writing its on record exactly what your request is

Posting it would involve an unnecessary trip to the Post Office or Post Box during the lockdown. They'll also likely claim it never arrived!

As I said earlier to the OP of this thread, if this is all you have to worry about at the moment, consider yourself very lucky...

Never been a fan of this viewpoint/attitude at all ... even though i actually agree with your end statement.

It's like before all this Coronavirus thing happened and someone would post about an incident that has happened to them and someone else would chime in with "is that all you're grumbling about? There's people out there who can't afford to eat, who are dying, who are [insert sad story here]".

Like yes, that's marvellous and all that, but it's still nothing to do with me. I deal with what is my concern and what i am being billed for is my concern. Now i could forget all of that and channel all my waking moments in to trying to bring world peace but let's be serious really.

For the record, i am sitting this out and waiting for it to pass. If it means i have to pay a bit more on my phone bill then i have to pay a bit more. I don't believe people with the internet etc should be having people come out and carry out unnecessary work so i wont be doing that.

I just wondered what others were doing.

The global pandemic is  rather different in that it is affecting everyone on the planet, though. 

 This isn't some localised "sad story" that you can simply choose to ignore in favour of your telco bill!

Regardless, the content of my original response stands..

Different how?

It's only different in that it's wider ranging. It's affecting many at once but it's still a sad story.

Some guy ran me off the road today / i cut my finger off today / i fell off the roof of my house today and broke my back.

Well if that's all you're moaning about, there's people out there dying.

It's the same thing, same attitude. There's always someone worse off and while their situation isn't great, am i to sit around all day looking for people in worse situations? No. Their situation is important to them, mine is to me, yours is to you.

Different because it's absolutely impossible to ignore it. 

By all means detail your  problems trying to reduce your Pay TV bill here on the forum at the moment, just don't expect  to be treated as sympathetically.....

Come on now. This is the internet. Anyone approaching it expecting sympathy is in for major disappointment. Vultures and finger pointers. Once you can accept that then you'll be fine
