New phoneline can I order broadband or wait??


[link to this post]
 
My phoneline became active at my new house (line was already there) on 18th August.

How do I have to wait before I can order broadband, I'm trying to order on O2 (not unbundled service but the Home Access package) and they can't seem to find my number.

Can anyone help??

It can take several days to a week before the BT database is updated to recognise the number.

put the number into the number checker and cut & paste the output here.

Can't wait for the day when the UK no longer has to wait for BT to SLOWLY do things.

Tried the order again this morning on the O2 website and it works fine, the order should go live on 29th.

My exchange is so small they'll never unbundle it but at least I should get a fairly good speed after the 10 day profile muckabout.

Thanks again.

When you get a new BT line with a new number it may well be that the number has been in use before.

When you do a line check how do you know that the line check refers to your use of the number and not the previous usage.



Now with Virgin Media cable (2MB) probably going over to Sky LLU.
