broadband activated, but it won't take my username

I got a text today that my broadband has been activated. However during the auto setup it didnt automatically connect me. So I tried entering my details, checked multiple times and everything was correct but it didnt let me connect. Page just refreshed itself when I clicked connect. I already tried restarting my router and fac restarting it too. Internet works bcuz when I tried using reset option when logging in, it connected me using setup email but the internet was really, really slow and some sites were unloadable plus some apps on my computer couldn't update. The phone line is working and the router is lit orange with a red B sign. This is when logging in. But I can't login using my acc credintials only with the reset button. Which then the router is lit blue after...the reset login.

Welcome to the community forums @locusedits

It looks like your account wasn't activated until a couple of hours after you posted this.

 

Mind sending me a PM with a copy of the text message you've received?
As I'm interested in passing feedback to the relevant team to investigate this.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. -Anoush

Hey It's activated now! glad my router isnt broken or anything.

 

I got a text that my line was activated but I was told that the broadband activates along with the phone line. When I tried to connect with the setup email, internet worked I had connection it was just really poor. But this morning got another second email that it activated.

I'm glad to hear that. Apologies for the confusion caused.

It seems that we could've been a bit clearer in the first text message we sent out.

 

All's well that ends well though, how's your connection since it went live?

Ok it looks like it's same as t his morning. I was just downloading something in the background I didn't notice that caused the speed test to be that low.
