if there is no sync light on the modem, and its saying its not picking anything up, it means that tesco have never activated the line in the first place, so just place a normal order with pipex, not a migration order.

Tesco won't give you a code as they use datastream and most other ISP's use IPStream so you can't migrate anyway. You need to do a cease from Tesco and a new order from your chosen ISP.

EMAIL:

Dear PIPEX Customer


Further to your recent PIPEX Xtreme ADSL application, we have been advised by BT that
your nominated telephone line has an incompatible service which is preventing
us from continuing with your order.

To allow us to proceed with your order you will need to contact BT and
arrange for the incompatible service to be removed. BT can be contacted
by calling 150 for residential customers or 152 for business customers.

Tracking:

Your order is currently "on hold" because BTs records show your line as having services incompatible with ADSL. For more information about this, check the FAQ on the PIPEX Web site..

Please contact PIPEX Customer Care on 0845 077 2455 as soon as possible for an update on your order status, quoting your PIPEX Xtreme user ID or order number.

Thank you for your recent PIPEX Xtreme application. We are pleased to confirm
that we have received your paperwork and have started the order process.

The conversion of your telephone line to ADSL should be complete within 10
working days, subject to further line testing. We will email you within this
period to confirm the activation of ADSL on your telephone line.

For full details on how to configure your computer system(s) to connect to PIPEX Xtreme,
please visit http://www.xtreme.pipex.net/adsl/support to view the configuration
instructions.

At this time, we estimate that your line is likely to be enabled during 21/12/2004. This date may still be subject to change and so you should check back in a few days for a further update. A precise installation time cannot be guaranteed but work will normally be completed by the end of the business day.
When BT update us with more information, this page will be updated.

So it's not fucked up totally then.
If it's split the same way, you can physically only get 31200kbs or lower, because the bandwidth of the line has been halved.
Luckily, you can get them to change it.
