Leave the router plugged in so you can see when the activation happens from skys point of view

If he has an SMS and on his account its showing as active then the Broadband should be working and if not the line should be tested/ set up checked or Sky should have a look on the order.

Do you have any means of contacting sky?
Call 150 from sky landline or sky mobile and mention "failed activation"
