Outlet Activation

Hello -

I moved into an apartment with a bulk plan. I need my outlet activated. I've spent several hours on the phone already - the last time we were getting somewhere but I got disconnected and did not get a call back.

Good morning @inqipad. To confirm, are you looking to activate your service, or to activate a new outlet in another part of your apt?

I scheduled my activation for May 27th - which it wasn't. I think when I called the next day they said the service was active but the outlet was not - and I would need to get a tech on site to do it.  I contacted our property and they also said the same thing. I'm not sure if the outlet can be activated remotely but I tried the two existing ones in the apartment and my gateway still flashes orange. 

The power, coax, and (ethernet?/yellow) cable are all plugged in currently.
