When does my subscription start?

[#1]

I've just ordered Plusnet Broadband a couple of days ago.
Payment has been taken for initial subscription and P+P for hardware.
When does the subscription actually start?
Does it already start now? (even though I haven't got the line activated yet or received the hardware)
Does it start when the line is activated ? (7-10 days time)
Or does it begin when I first make successful connection? (when my line is activated and have received the hardware)
Thanks

Your first payment will be taken during signup (as you have already seen), the next month payment won't be due till 1 month after your activation date. Hope this helps.
