Landline number still not ported from Sky

Hello, 

I made my first request over the phone to port our old landline number from Sky 2 1/2 weeks ago (which I made also when I ordered my VM package). After a firm deadline of 6/6 then 10/6 they both passed and still the old number was 'invalid'. I made another call on 10/6 and escalated to the manager in a hour plus long call and got a "100% guarantee" of 20/6.

I spoke to Ofcom and they said it is Sky's decision for how long to keep the old number in quarantine and that it is solely the new provider's responsibility to port the number. I'm fearful that this deadline will pass and I will lose this number of over 30 years. 

Can I at least get a status update and make sure that this request has been made and that will be done. 

Thanks.
