Despite advising @specsaversuk.bsky.social press office we need to speak to them by phone for accessibility reasons, they are still refusing to call us. There is little point trying to communicate with a company that will not accommodate people with #disabilities.

For customers with #accessibility issues @specsaversuk.bsky.social also doesn’t list a phone number for customer service, only an online form or social media. That also isn’t accessible to people who need to communicate by phone. Their press office phone number also doesn’t work.

We were concerned too, but an #Apple spokesman has advised us that Apple Maps never featured the villages not appearing on #AppleMaps, and that additional details shown in other countries are due to the rollout of the new Apple Maps experience which is not yet available for all regions.

Had great support from #CommunityFibre over the last few years. Until the beginning of Nov there’s a deal on their website for double speed. I now have a home broadband of 5Gbps 🥳 - They are also really easy to reach and communicate with by phone, unlike some other providers.
