When will my broadband become live

I got a email today saying my home phone service is ready to use, when will my broadband become live?

Usually by the end of the following day, @Beckyw . You should receive a further email advising of the date. Welcome to the forums, BTW.

What should I do if I don’t get an email tomorrow and my internet is not active? I’ve been waiting 2 months next week to become online

I should have asked - are you actually going to be an ADSL or Fibre customer? If it is Fibre, it will actually depend on Openreach engineer availability as they need to physically connect you in the street cabinet. If it is ADSL, post back, and someone will advise you what to do.

It’s ADSL an engineer has been out today to connect it underground as there was no spares on the pol, shortly after I got a email saying my home phone service is ready to use but when I connect my router the internet light is red but everything else is green

@Beckyw OK, so as I said, you should receive a further email once the broadband service becomes live - it can take up to midnight for all the bits of the network to connect up.

What is the current situation?

Hi Becky, welcome firstly to our community forums.

From what I can see your broadband order completed yesterday afternoon however our systems were a tad slow in activating your account, so that happened shortly after midnight last night and I can see you're up and running now.

Let us know if there are further issues or anything else you'd need help with.

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

Re: When will my broadband become live

Yes all sorted now 5 past 12 last night it became active very pleased with how fast everything happened once I made my complaint, that was only because I wasn’t online for 2 months and used a lot of 4G. Hopefully will have no more problems thank you
