Same thing happened to my mate, all looked fine but no IP.

I called CS and they confirmed his line was up but it would be 72-hrs before he could use it.

Being a bit cynical i thought they were just stringing him along, this was a Friday afternoon, on the Monday morning he had an IP.

I seem to recollect that it says something about waiting time in the intro letter you get from Sky but don't quote me on that

Which service have you subscribed to ? If you have 448 up, you are either on Sky Connect, or still on Pipex. Sky Mid and Max have 768 upload speeds, I believe.

were on the `mid` package (or supposed to be) - and according to everything i`ve read that 448 is the upload (unless they`ve changed it!)

activation date (according to the letter ) was wednesday 5/9/07
