Starter Kit Order never arrived

I am moving houses and the only available fibre in the area is with Virgin, so I ordered a Volt Fibre Broadband package on the 20th of November. I received my Order reference and Contract Reference documents immediately. My selected delivery date was the 2nd of December, but it never arrived. Additionally, I never got a tracking number, a delivery provider or any updates for my delivery. I can not register into the Virgin Media app as I don't have an account set up yet. Could someone help, please?

I ordered a broadband on Monday. Immediately afterwards, I received a confirmation and precontract documents e-mail stating that delivery would be on Thursday. When it didn't arrive until Thursday 17:30, I first wrote on chat but they couldn't help, then I called the hotline. After waiting for 15 minutes, they searched for the account by repeatedly asking for the e-mail address, account holder name and postcode. The person I spoke to said he could not find an account. I asked him to look at the order reference, but he said that he was not authorised and that the manager had left and asked me to call the next day, that is, today. I called today morning and waited on the line for 32 minutes. Even though I tried to explain the situation to the caller, he insistently asked for the same information. I gave and again the account was not found. Then I was told that the service was unavailable at the address I gave. However, I was previously told both on the phone and on the internet that the service was available and that the previous user was a Virgin user. They told me that they would call me within 5-7 working days. I told them that I didn't want to wait that long and that I wanted to cancel the order. They said that if there was no service, there would be no order, so they couldn't cancel it. I repeatedly asked if I would be charged for this and they said that I would not be charged.

When I looked at the forum, I read that the problem was solved when the order was given from the beginning and I wanted to try this. Then I checked whether there was service to the same address again to try it and since there was service, I created a new order. 

But this evening at 8.17 pm I received an e-mail stating that I already have an order to this address, that they called me and could not reach me (there is no missed call on my phone), that I should wait for them to call me, that I can reach them by chat (the link does not work) or by phone if I want (I called immediately after receiving the mail on Friday, but it is closed until Monday).
I don't remember getting a worse service than this in my life. I've been waiting for internet for 1 week and I can't reach any official before waiting for 20 minutes. I can never get a satisfactory answer from the officials I reach. I'm just asked to sit and wait without internet. I can't even cancel my order because I can't even create an account. I'm waiting for an explanation.
