Ongoing issues trying to get broadband

Not sure if anyone can help, moved into a house with existing phone line. 

I have been trying to Get broadband connected for the last 6 weeks and am now at my wits end. I am fobbed off on a near daily basis by very nice BT customer service people. 
But all I get is further updates further days apart. A complaint has been raised for all the good that did!! In fact that has made no difference at all. The problem lies with Openreach apparently but no one can ever talk to them. Thank 

People promise to phone back and never do, I occasionally get a ‘no reply’ text. Then I have to hang on for at least an hour on most occasions to get further updates.

Has anyone got any help or advice they can offer? I have 2 exams to take and have struggled to study for them with no internet.

@Cp4 

If there is an existing working phone line, then that would belong to another account holder, so unless they agree to have the line taken over, there is not much you can do, as you cannot transfer an account from one person to another.

Do you know who is paying for the phone line? Is there dial tone on it?

The phone line is fine and I have taken over payment for it. My issue is one of broadband and getting that up and running. Its been 6 or 7 weeks of false promises and still no broadband

Hello
My issue is with getting broadband activated, with Openreach seeming to be the problem.
