no, sadly it's not quite that simple.

was there a fault that caused them to cease the line in the first place?

 

[DaveJwxm]

no they just cut it off to early. why does it take so long , what do they actually have to do? at least its free i suppose - but thats wot i go to work for

 

[Adam]

adam k you have edited your post lol ...

if you are moving house then a cease and reprovide is needed.

normally it takes 10 working days, well it does for business lines....

it takes an engineer to go to the exchange to adjust the new line and movie it within the exchange and then re-apply adsl..


im sorry mate there is no button lol
