Availability checker confusion

I've just moved house and had the existing line reactivated by BT. The previous occupants had FTTC service, so I figured it would be straightforward for me to get it too, but seemingly not. If I search http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/ using my address, it tells me my cabinet is enabled for FTTC, but if I search using the phone number, it gives me the same exchange and cabinet number, but doesn't offer FTTC - as a result, I can't seem to get BT to place an order for Infinity on the line.

Has anyone seen this before? Is it likely to be true, or do I just need to wait for Openreach to update their data?

Thanks!

If it is a new number at the address then it will show the correct cabinet but for a few days the line estimates for wherever that number previously went.

So yes, just waiting for an update from a different database. Would I be right in thinking the two sets of ADSLx estimates are different?

Unfortunately, I don't have a record of the estimates from the old number, and as it's now been ported to Virgin Media by the previous owner, it's no longer in the checker

EDIT: Sorry, being thick - the telephone number checker is only offering 'WBC Fixed Rate' at 1Mbps and 'Fixed Rate' at 1Mbps. The address checker offers both of these at the same rate, but also offers ADSL Max, ADSL2+ and FTTC. I'll give it a couple of days and check again...

That seems to be normal for a new line or phone number. My daughter's line had the same 1 Mbps in the checker for a few days after the service went live.
