Do you not already have a telephone line connected to your property ? Almost 100% of British houses have a telephone line these days, even if its not working at present. Are you perhaps changing from one provider of a telephone service to another ?
If you DO NOT have a working line connected to your house, than that would need to be installed, probably by a thin cable coming from the nearest telephone pole, or by a underground feed, if your house is more modern.
In either case, my experience as a BT Engineer of may years standing
( although retired now ! ) tells me that they whole process may take a while, as connections would need to be made in the local Telephone Exchange as well.

Alston is right, although there is still some small amount of work needed in the Exchange to get the Broadband to work. If its a BT Broadband connection that you are having, than you should up and running pretty soon.

Try this :::
Open the ipad where it says "Wifi connections" The ipad should search and find your lovely new broadband connection ! Input the password in the appropriate place and you should be up and running !
I don't have an ipad, just a Samsung Galaxy TAB 2, so somebody with an ipad might need to give you further instructions, as Apple products seem to work differently to the rest of the world. I guess that what you are paying all that extra money for when you buy an ipad.
Failing that, just grab a 10 year old nephew, grandson, etc. The kids today come already hardwired for new technology.....there will a blur of grubby little fingers and it will be all be done in no time.
