This question is simply for my own curiosity... I need no help beyond that:

Ok so presuming you have a phone line and want to get a broadband service over that phone line you have to go through an 'activation' process of some sort... Usually this takes upwards of one week but I am curious as to why it takes so long. I understand something has to be enabled 'at the exchange' in order for you to receive broadband but beyond that what has to be done and why should it take 1 week plus? In short, I guess what I am asking is why cant the process be completed within 1 working day if it is a simple switch flip?
