Due to be connected Thursday phone system not recognising customer number

I signed up for VM broadband a couple weeks back with a request date of 23/10/25 It is a self install but I've not received the kit yet is this normal? I also need to request a longer coax cable as the location my router goes is about 5m away from the internal VM connection box but when I try to call to sort this out it asks for my customer number but it isn't recognised so I assume this is because I've not been added to the system yet? If so how else do I contact them to request this longer coax cable as I'm hoping ti can be sent at the same time as the router which as I say I've not been sent yet.

I've signed in online / made an account but its saying

    You should call the pre-installs team on 0800 052 1734 and ask them what's happening with delivery and also advise them about your cabling needs. It may necessitate a manned install.

    They are open  8:00am to 9:00pm  Monday to Friday, and 8:00am to 6:00pm Saturday and Sunday

    The VM QuickStart kit does not include cabling for requirements such as yours so, as advised, call and ask for a manned installation. It's free as it's mandatory (VM does charge as this will encourage DIY cable extensions).
