How long until I find out if I have been accepted? It didn't say on the website or how I would find out either. Will it be by post, email etc...?

Thanks everyone-should have rang them by the looks of things. I might leave it for a few days then give them a ring and ask them the same question I asked you. Might hurry them along a bit.0

To clarify I applied online, but received all correspondance by post. Not a single email.
After they sent me the agreement I got 2 further letters within a week chasing me to sign and return it. They weren't in such a hurry to issue the card/pin and allow me to BT ...0
