I would agree with that. My line was converted from Home Highway to ADSL -
so, in my case, it *did* have to be dis-connected at the exchange and
re-connected into a different rack. However, ADSL was then enabled *first* -
and it required a separate operation by the BT engineer to turn on the dial
tone before it could be used for voice calls.
In the OP's case, dial tone has been disabled but ADSL hasn't.
