Account not activated?

Moved home last Friday, received my Quickstart kit, and connected the Hub as planned.  Hub seemed to sync up fine and I received a text saying 'well done, you're activated.' 

However, looks like I'm not activated; logging on the Hub, it says 'Internet: Access Denied,' which I'm sure is because of an activation issue.

Four long calls to CS, going through the 'moving home' team.  Each time they run checks, tell me to wait another 24 hours, then restart the router, but with no luck.

Any advice from anyone on how to actually get things activated?

    So they've told me the account is activated, but they can't understand why the Hub is refusing to allow internet access.  Four day wait for an engineer to visit.

      It could be the cable is disconnected in the street cabinet and will require the technician to attend.

        Seems unlikely it would be able to see any form of connection if that was the case?  The previous owners of our property were with VM as well, so everything was in situ.

    Did the previous owners give their 30 days notice to cancel their account?

    It's possible that their account is still activated for that address, and a different Hub won't activate there.

      Good point; but how can I get through to CS about this?  The typical call centre responses are just no good.
