That's the crux of it (I presume) ... the phone line is connected to Sky phone equipment at the exchange. Thus until the line is back with BT exchange equipment (return to donor as mentioned above) then no ISP can get the tag removed.
Until the line is back on BT, you can't use it with another provider at all, whether there are tags in place or not.No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
Most decent providers will help you to get the line back onto their network, or the BT network. I moved from an LLU provider to another LLU provider without needing to go back to BT first so just find a provider who wants customers.0
