When you join TalkTalk, we'll provide you with an activation date for your services to go live. As all the work to connect your services will be carried out at your local exchange, the engineer won't need access to your home so you don't need to be in on the day. We're unable to change the date of your activation as this will have been arranged for the earliest available timeslot in line with our engineer availability. We'll simply connect your services on the date we provided, so everything will be ready for you to just plug in your router at a time that suits you.
