No activation date for new service
FIXED
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us"
I submitted the expedite at 12pm and just waiting for a response. Assuming all goes to plan, the order should be brought forward to tomorrow as in theory expedites submitted before 4pm on a working day are done for the next working day.
Fingers crossed!
For Frodo!
The expedite's been accepted and your broadband should go live tomorrow before midnight (Providing that the engineer can sneak into the exchange without being seen by the great eye)
In clearer words, it'd be due to engineer availability on the day. 
“If by my life or death I can protect you, I will”
Definitely sounds like a plan! I’m sure he’ll love it.
At one point I could almost recite the whole trilogy. I watch it through every few months now just to brush up.
As the engineer stepped into the exchange, they cried "Is this all you can conjure, Saruman?"
Happy to confirm the engineering work's carried out and the order's in its final stages before it completes in the supplier systems which should be by midnight tonight but I'm hoping for a lot sooner as I'm out of the office tomorrow for the rest of the week and I'd love to see you online before I go.
"One broadband to rule them all, one broadband to find them, one broadband to bring them all, and in the exchange, bind them."
The order's completed now and I've just activated your account our side.
With the luck of the dwarves, you should be able to connect when you've setup your router. Let me know
Ah we've checked your phone line and sadly there's a fault showing somewhere along the line which is likely going to stop you from getting online. Sadly it doesn't look like today's the day. I've raised this with Openreach and we've been given an estimated response time of by 01/10/21 23:59:59 for an engineer to take a closer look.
I will not say do not weep for not all tears are an evil, but you'll be in good company with the rest of the Fellowship.
I'll follow things up with you on Monday.
Yeah it's really disappointing as I'd basically pulled out all the stops to fast track the order through.
Unfortunately as the engineer task now is classed as a fault report we can't speed it up without going down the path of an emergency welfare case. For that it'd need someone who relies on the service for medical reasons (serious health conditions, lifeline pendant etc). Feel free to drop me a PM if anybody in your household does though.
It's possible that the job may be picked before Friday, depending on what engineer availability is like.
Not a problem @gnarlybravo it's a pleasure to help you!
Obviously we failed and needed to try harder with the Tolkien quotes 
"A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day!"
I'd leave your router on and at some point hopefully soon it should light up blue when the issue's fixed.
