Desperate for internet - in limbo. Broadband activation

Hello. My broadband was supposed to be activated on the 27. Nothing happened. Finally, on the 28th, an engineer came home. Other than dirtiying my wall (which I haven't been able to clean, and I'm renting), he could not help. He couldn't find the right wires. So he said he'd send an Openreach engineer. He said it would be high priority and I'd probably hear from them today. Thus far, nothing. There's no information when I track my order on Sky's website. So far, this has been a terrible experience. I'm desperate for internet. Help please.

I'll escalate your post, but realistically you're very unlikely to get an Openreach booking before Tuesday at the earliest as they don't cover domestic contracts on weekends and bank holidays.

@IntOx 
I’ve re-escalated your post to Sky and they may get in touch with you later or maybe tomorrow.

Look out for an email and also a blue/red speech bubble on the bottom left of your forum page. Once that speech bubble appears you only have 48 hours to join the private chat or it will close automatically. Also if you fail to respond to each message from Sky within 48 hours the chat will automatically close. Replies on the chat aren’t instant so keep checking the chat thread regularly.

Please make sure that your email/private message notifications are switched to ‘on’ to avoid missing the alerts.
