I, for one, can't fathom what your problem is. Perhaps it might help
to outline:
Where you are,
Where the service is being provided,
In what form,
What items of equipment are provided by them,
What items of equipment are being used by yourself,
What software is running,
What exactly it is that you are trying to do.
You mentioned activation and registration. They can usually be done by
phone or over any internet connection, using any browser in case of the
latter. You shouldn't need to be at the address concerned unless a
line is being rigged, or end-to-end tested (like measuring its signal
strength).
Cheers,
David.
