Broadband order delayed

[#1]

Hi!

I'm moving house on the 10th of April and wanted to try and get some bits sorted out in advance, so sent in an order for broadband last night as I know things take a little while to filter through. I got a text this afternoon stating that my broadband order has been delayed - could I get any more details on why this is? I'm not sure when the current tenant moves out, so it could just be a clash there and I was a bit too overeager, but just wanted to know in case it was something that could be sorted.

Cheers in advance!

A warm welcome to the forums.

If the current tenant has told their supplier to cease service, then no other CP/ISP can place orders to take over the line until the cease order completes.  BT Openreach's systems do not permit "in advance orders" on lines having an open cease order.

Thereafter Plusnet restarting the phone line can typically be done on two days, with broadband activation being 5 days later.

Hey, thanks - guess I should have expected that one, just wasn't sure what the current state was. 

Thanks both of you for the help!

No worries, I've set myself a reminder to check back on it and follow things up with you.
