One touch switch - vodafone cannot find my broadband service?

I don't get why it's so hard to switch! I tried to do the one touch switch but they couldn't find my broadband with virgin media. Is it because i requested a disconnection prior to doing this?

 If so i need to un-disconnect with virgin media first and then do one touch switch again? And how long will that take? I dont want to un-disconnect, find out it STILL doesn't work and then have to pay for  another week of my new hiked contract.

    Managed to fix this thanks to a helpful agent at vodafone. The issue was due to not having an existing landline (I thought the landline number still existed even though i didn't have landline as part of my current contract with VM) so i had to get a new landline number.

    Assuming you have some overlap between the two ISPs does it matter?

    VM use their own network so Vodafone being connected 'out of sync' won't be an issue.

      That's true. I'm not sure really. The agent at vodafone said to cancel the disconnection first and then do the one touch switch.
