Plusnet Fibre - switch from BT infinity

Hi
I've handed my MAC key to Plusnet.
Can anyone shed some light about their experiences of switching from an FTTC provider to Plusnet?
My switch date is - Thursday 13th November -  Is there not an earlier date since I already have an FTTC service?
Thanks

Hi,
Just for the bit that I can answer:
This is the earliest date I'm afraid. Unfortunately we are still subject to our supplier's lead times, although an internal appointment is not required.

Re: Plusnet Fibre - switch from BT infinity

Why have I received the following
Your router is in the post, it'll arrive in a few days. We'll text you again when your broadband is ready, please don't set up your router until then.
If it's in 3 to 4 weeks time - why am I getting the new hub now?

It looks like automation has dispatched it early.
Let me know if it hasn't arrived by Monday.

I received another text this morning about 5 mins ago.
Your broadband service is due to become active by midnight on 06/11/2014. Please don't set up your router until we confirm your service is active.
Have you managed to bring the activation date forward?
