ADSL Extended Reach Trial

Has anyone actually managed to get on the trial?
Do you have an activation date?
I ordered through eclipse on the trial, they say that something went wrong
with the order process and they are waiting on BT to let them know if the
lines pass the test or not.
Anyone else in this situation?

Yes with Zen

No

Yes, though I dont know if there was a problem with the order process. Order was
supposed to be submitted on Wednesday 9, but email confirming order placed not
despatched until 16.50 on Friday 11th.

On the 8th I had an email from Pipex telling me that there was no chance of
getting on the trial

On the 10th and 14th I have had emails from Pipex inviting me to join trial

Check order status on
https://www.bt.com/btcom-bin/btcom/c...ordertrack.jsp

For me, this shows my order placed with Zen.

Can you resolve the ambiguity - does this mean:

This shows that my order was placed with Zen.

Or

This shows the order that I placed with Zen,

Testing loads now. Passing some, failing others. It's only moved the goalposts
about 500 metres, so don't get too excited.

The latter was the case. i.e. an order placed with Zen appeared on the BT order
tracking system.

But now it has vanished! - See www.adslguide.org.uk BTwholesale ADSL

That's what they claimed though isn't it ? Moving the reach from 5.5km
to 6.0km ? Yes I know it's to do with line loss, but assuming that it is
fairly linear.
