Hmmm... interesting.

If your NTL line has been disconnected, without being exported, you'd normally get NU (unobtainable) when you call it, not ringtone, unless the jumper has been pulled in the cabinet, which is fairly unlikely (although not entirely beyond the realms of possiblity).

Also, it should be possible to provide a dialtone to the BT line, even if the port hasn't gone through yet.

Try this: Plug a phone into one of the lines, pick up the handset and blow into it. Try it with the other one. Can you hear yourself in the earpiece on each line?
