your order went in 28th April ( if your previous post was correct, when you said you will be ordering tomorrow), 10 working days from then is the 12th May shouldent expect it so soon after its sent out weekends dont count dont forget,... still early for u to be getting the modem... If you dont get it at thursday ill be suprized but before then i doubt it, mine took 10 working days exactly on the 10th day there is was :D felt like forever at the time but before i knew it i was on ukonline, though i dident like the fact for mirc users it messes up dcc sends, i just used port fowarding for that. dunno if u use mirc or ever use dcc sending, i rarely use it but nice to know it works :)

my line was also enabled before the modem got to me

Your router should arrive between 7 - 10 working days, if for some reason you haven't received your router after 10 days, please contact customer services on 0845 333 3322.
