In all seriousness, our router has arrived and a text says it will be activated Friday. I was wondering if we hook it up now can it be activated early or will it cause problems?
Fixed! Go to the fix.

You could always try talking to each other. It's rather an old fashioned means of communication but it still works.
Seriously though I'm afraid that it comes down to Openreach engineer availabilty.

Hi @soupbowl
I'm afraid that we are unable to get the service activated earlier than the scheduled date due to our suppliers workload.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Kind Regards,
MoR

Thanks guys. So the only way I can speed it up is to very quickly qualify as an Openreach engineer and set the ISP connection myself? Drat!

Sorry to be an overexcited child about this, but it would mean I can remotely work without exceeding my phone's data limit.
Latest event log entry was

Hi @soupbowl
I've made a few manual amendments which should allow a connection to be established.
It may be worth disconnecting the DSL and reconnecting it after a few minutes to force a new session attempt.
Thanks,
MoR
