You're at the mercy of Openreach engineer availability and it's beyond the control of PN unfortunately

@Callumjack86

Well the minimum time possible is 14 days (if you are swapping from 1 supplier to another) undef OFCOM regulations to avoid "slamming" where your account is moved fraudulently by someone else to a new supplier.

So that would mean 1st March (order on 14th add 14 clear days) and then an engineer to do the work has to be scheduled which unfortunately for you is 6 days later.

Even if you have ordered I would phone up within 7 days and ask for confirmation of the actual date and then again in 7 days.

Why?

Because if something goes wrong on the order, Plusnet might not tell you. Happens too often and you can easily find posts on this forum about failed orders and lack of communication.

Do not wait until March 7th to double check.
