I don't believe you have done anything wrong as the package that you have selected is self install.
The BT website says the connection can go active up to midnight on day of install but as that has passed I would say that they have made a mistake

Thanks for sorting that bit of confusion out. Ok, Infinity 1 is self install and everything you did was 100% correct. It does indeed sound like the wrong line was converted to Infinity by the engineer because you are still connected to ADSL not VDSL. If you tell the helpdesk that the Homehub says ADSL where it should say VDSL, they will have to arrange a BT engineer to come and fix it.

If they refuse, ask for help using this form: https://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4950

ok thanks guys, it seems like I have no choice but to wait for BT to sort it out (always a nightmare).

I will report back when I know more.

Of that works you would only be getting adsl speeds still

Bt kit works that it is sent out preconfigured or uses remote config systems to set you up.

Correct - that is exactly what you have.
As for whose kit it is plugged into we don't know.

Has the telephone service definitely moved to BT now?

Spoken with BT about this and they are planning on sending out an engineer on Friday which is just absurd (3 days to get an engineer out). I've been trying to see if I can fix it myself.

Yes, but having read through the thread, I'd say you are going to need an engineer to fix it. My guess, they have naffed it up at the cabinet. Connected wrongly, or to the wrong port. Have you checked to see if you are receiving the right telephone number ?
