My broadband was initially going to be activated on the 9th of August but I have since received a txt stating the 16th.
My phone line has been active since the first couple of days after order. But haven’t received my router yet?? What’s the process of things?

Is the broadband a Fibre ( or Fibre Extra ) order ? If so, it's likely that the order date has been pushed back due to engineer availability. For Fibre, a BT engineer needs to go to your local PCP cabinet and make some connections. PN will request the earliest provisional date when placing the order ( this is probably where the 9th came from ) but this may get pushed back by BT due to engineer availability, hence the txt saying the 16th.
Routers are normally sent out a few days prior to the installation date by first class post.
Hopefully a PN staff member will come along and confirm...
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Hi @Brobbo,
@MisterW is correct.
Fibre activations can't always be on the same day due to resourcing but can also depend on how your line has been connected.
Any downtime is refunded once live as billing starts from the activation of your telephone line. We do outline in our contracts that orders are subject to change but this doesn't make this situation any less disappointing.
Please feel free to give us a shout once you are live if you are not automatically refunded for downtime as we will be more than happy to assist.
Thank you.

Tomorrow is the 15th whereas the 16th was mentioned in the opening post. Don't want you to be disappointed if nothing happens tomorrow.
The engineer should visit the phone cabinet to put jumpers in connecting your copper line to the nearby fibre cabinet. If you see an engineer there, no reason why you shouldn't ask him/her if they are connecting you. Once that is done there will be follow up work leading to Plusnet being informed of order completion.
I think Plusnet should then create a service notice on your account (visit https://www.plus.net/wizard/?p=search then click the Go button) and send a text message.
Hope all goes well for you.

When I spoke to CS about the router I was told it’s due for completion on the 15th, I’ve received no other communication so fingers crossed it’s all green for tommorow

In that case it should be. The 16th would mean 00:00 hours on that day which most people would think of as midnight on the 15th. It's unlikely the Openreach engineer will be working in the dark with a torch so it should be completed during the day.

I see no engineer with a torch so I wonder what date is going to be plucked out the air in the morning.
