Hi mine has been restricted presumably by error as I am a new customer and activation date was Monday 23 2026. EE engineer came and muttered that this wasn’t the first such error he had encountered when new accounts were set up and arranged for BT open reach to visit Friday 27 2026. I would have thought the restriction could have been sorted out remotely without waiting for a visit. Member of EE faults team unhelpful and insisted I would only get the minimum of around £9 a day for loss of service despite the inconvenience and time taken up in phone calls and having to stay in for engineer visits etc. Poor first impression of EE customer service.

@mark3530 : What do you mean by restricted? Do you mean your BB hasn't been activated yet due to some fault found by OR?

Activation delay is £6.64 / day not the ££9.98 / day for a repair delay.
