Timing for ISP Swapping

From past experience of ISP swapping, there was nowhere for me to specify WHEN I want the swap done.
For instance, if my existing contract expired on the 10th of April, if I fill in the order sheet with an existing provider, there is nowhere for me to specify NOT before 10th April.
Obviously I want the change on the 10th of April, or as soon as possible afterwards.

Previously I've put the order in 2~3 weeks in advance of the ISP change, but without any real control on timing.
Next time, I want to go from FTTC to FTTP, which further complicates matters.

Is there any way to specify timing limits when changing provides ?
If not, the whole thing seems rather slapdash.
 
Vodafone are pretty good as you can choose a go-live date in your order form online.
Not sure about other providers.

As others have said, some ISPs give you more choice than others, but if in doubt then give them a call and ask.
