Can you cancel the visit, I managed to sort it. When I called I was told no one could activate the conection as they don't work weekends. When I called a second time there was an automated message that activated the line. I still had no conection after an hour so I called up and they told me an engineer was needed.
I decided to look it the wall outlet coming into my house and noticed the power supply to it was not connected..... I screwed it in and hey presto, the router connected.
I'm now online.
