**In place connection, 2 business days.
 
**In place connection in urban areas, within 5 business days.
 
** Not in place connection in rural areas, within 10 business days.
 
  
  
In these special cases, we can process these as 'churn' requests. This generally takes approximately two business days to complete. You should remain connected to your current ADSL/ADSL 2 service (If you indeed have a service on the same infrastructure) until the churn is complete .
