ISP Tag on the BT line?

Is there anyway to find out if an ISP used by a previous occupier has left a tag on the BT line?
I'll be moving from cable to ASDL over the next month and, though I will leave an overlap when I'll be paying for 2 ISP's for about a week, want things to be as seemless as possible. An old tag on the line could cause problems. The previous occupier left just over 12 months ago.

Really the best way to find out would be to phone BT and they should be able to tell you0

Thanks lee634. After searching on google and finding nothing I thought that might be the case.

No way for the general public to find out about tags on line now. Your new ISP can do the work for you - http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consumeradvice/internet/customer_service/tagonline/tagremoved/“I look like Spiderman at a funeral”~ Karl Pilkington0

It has all shifted recently ... the TAG is now within the responsibilities of the ISP and/or domain registrant.:wave:0
