Since internet access is more or less mandatory for modern life to function, I found that there were a couple of BT Wi-Fi Fon access points nearby so I've signed up for a month's BT subscription for £39 which gives me 720 hrs which is 24 hours per day for the month.
As we've both got unlimited mobile phone contracts, we're no longer concerned, at this point in time, about how long it takes to get our line installed.

I fail to see how the above order statement can be made & should be changed to read something such as this:
Your order
We'll place your order with Openreach who are responsible for installing your landline connection but we are unable to say how long this will take. We will, however, keep you informed of Openreach's progress.
We'll then arrange for your broadband service to be activated. This will take 5-7 working days from when your phone service has started.
Hardware
Your broadband router
Your broadband router will be sent out in time for you to use your broadband connection.
