Unexpected call response

Previous experience has always been excellent when contacting this company.
However this afternoon when the call was answered this afternoon 22nd January the background noise and laughter made it very difficult to hear the person on the other end.
Very disappointing that my call did not end in a satisfactory response.

I frequently use nucleus financials.
I am surprised at how often it is unavailable.A financial product should not be unexpectedly down as often as this one is.
Reliability should be better
