I was on hold for 1 hour 20 minutes

To be told you’re 37 in the queue at 2pm, then it go down each number incredibly slowly is very disheartening. I understand it being super busy at 8am but at least with more staff on then, it goes down quickly. Once I finally got to 1 in the queue it went to dialling tone and just rang and rang and no one answered, I was worried I had lost my place, then it went back to the hold music/info, then ringing again!
