I don't know about the technicalities of the issue, but for what it's worth I would never use BT for anything again as the customer service and technical support I got when I had my phone line and broadband through them a few years back was beyond atrocious. Hopefully they've turned things around since then but I know quite a few other people who've had a bad experience so it might be worth looking into this side of things as well.
