Being a NB, call wait times have been horrendous. The only viable way to do a HUCA recently is to make two calls using two phones ~30 mins apart - so if the first agent is a dud, you hang up and wait for the other call to be picked up. You'll otherwise be on the phone all day...

This method has the added advantage of increasing the call count + potentially the call abandonment stats, which they surely can't ignore forever...
