Used to word for BBCiplayer... now it is malfunction.. cancel subscription

When it works, it's great. And it did for me most of time for years. But when it doesn't support it the worst. Absolutely awful. The support form on their site brings up an error message even when filled out properly & has done so for a couple years. No response to emails, twitter, dms through social media. Once in awhile I get a dm saying 'oh sorry we missed this. we'll do better' but they never do better. Impossible to get a response. It's not been working for about 2 weeks now and no help from support at all. Have message pretty much daily. They'll still take your money. Only thing to do is cancel.
