We shall be moving to a newly-built house in a couple of weeks. We shall be taking our EE hub and we know that the new address has high-speed broadband and fibre to the property, similar to our present house. The new house has an Openreach terminal which, I think may be 'live'. Two green lights on it are illuminated - 'Power' and 'PON' (PHOTO). I shall not be able to give EE the recommended three weeks' notice of our move, but, wonder if it might be a quick and simple matter to get us connected? Without anyone needing to visit the property?
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

@kernowhoop It may be live on the OR system with the two Green lights, but will not be assigned in any format to an ISP, so do not expect it to work, contact EE and give them the home move details for activation and see what date they return to you for getting it active to EE. Just keep the power on the ONT all the time, so when OR test the connection they can pass on anything required to EE no visit in theory should be required. just the remote activation off the system

What does BT Wholesale Broadband Availability Checker > Address Checker estimate for your new address? Post the whole table, the text below it and the line above it, blanking out your address.
