Would you like to be a guinea-pig and perhaps test my latest "on-going project". Its a bit rough right now until I get the time to finish it but most of the back-end stuff should be working despite it not looking "pretty".
Happy to!
The exchange checker should tell you if pipex has LLU'd your exchange.

That gives the following result:
Exchange was enabled on March 31, 2000
Exchange was MAX enabled on March 31, 2006

...which seems to show that Pipex LLU was due to be installed on May 27th. The email I received was on June 7th and the problem started a few days after that. Pipex say the upgrade never happened, but then they say a lot of conflicting things.
.. and also an interesting "quirk" with the adsl line checker Im coding that possibly shows up LLU'd lines (or at least during the testing done so far).. it will depend on how long ago your line was LLU'd and whether BT still has something called RAG test results on it.
Anyway it will be designed to input both the phone no and the postcode - but if you try entering just your phone no and see if it throws up anything strange on the RAG tests.

Here's the results I got from that:
Line Speed Estimation
adsl (fixed) : 2048 kbps (2 Mb)
dsl max : 5000 kbps (5 Mb)
Important: The above figures are an estimate based on information obtained from the BTw database.
DSLmax speeds are best guess based on the surrounding area and cannot take into effect individual line conditions which may effect the result such as the type of equipment you use or other issues which may affect the Signal to Noise Ratio.
RAG Test Results
adsl 1 linecode : GGEC
dslmax linecode: GEGEGEC
1Mbps and 2Mbps available (fixed adsl)
512Kbps and 256Kbps available (radsl)
ADSL Max is available (maxdsl)
The check identified another service on your line which may prevent you from ordering a new ADSL connection. Examples are : Existing adsl connection, DACs, LLU, TPON

I'm afraid I don't know anything about RAG tests so I don't know what the linecodes mean!
