How Long to Wait for Uswitch/Atlantic?

Ok, so I've been onto Uswitch and Atlantic came out as the cheapest for me.
So I put in all my details to switch over from Powergen about 2 weeks ago, and got an email from Uswitch confirming this, but no communication since.
Is it Uswitch that I deal with from this point, or have they done their bit, and I should now phone Atlantic and see what the status is? Or, am I just being too dam impatient and should wait my turn?:o
Thanks

I moved into my house on 18 July this year and applied to Atlanic that day (via MSE/USwitch) and got my letter last week and will be moving supplier next week (from npower --> Altantic)

I also used uswitch on 14 August to switch to Atlantic.
Their e-mail talked about waiting for 2 weeks. So after 3 I was beginning to wonder.
But waiting 2 months is bloody ridiculous. What have they got to do? Its all electronic so why the delay?
Has anyone had a better experiance?0 -
Six weeks is standard operating procedure. When I recently switched over to Atlantic, I heard nothing until about 4 weeks in, when I received a 'postcard' reminding me I would be switching over soon, then the welcome pack/dd confirmation/meter reading card all came a couple of days before the actual switchover.
I would imagine there is a bit of a delay with Atlantic right now, with the whole country going switch-crazyand them invariably coming up cheapest in the comparison sites. Let's just hope they don't put their prices up by too much in January. :whistle:

Thanks everyone for your replies. I'll be a bit more patient then and see what happens. I will hopefully save about £85 a year with Atlantic, so it should be worth a little wait I suppose!
Thanks again0
