Delay to EE broadband

Stay with me:

Switched from Virgin to EE.  EE came out yesterday but Openreach says there is an issue that could take up to 10 days to fix!!  I work from home and am now panicking that my Virgin contract was due to end yesterday (still on at mo) and I'll be left without any connection at all. 

I just read somewhere that EE wont instruct Virgin to disconnect until the switch is complete - does that sound right?
