Shows that Tesco has used full LLU - returned the number to a BT Wholesale WLR provider should be possible.
So while BT may seem the only option, PlusNet is another option. EE should manage it too, along with a lot longer list of SME type providers.
Porting is possible with full LLU, but the little bit of extra work means not every plays ball.

I do greatly appreciate your help Andrew. OFCOM (aka GOD) permitting, I will eventually migrate to someone (or invent Broadband via wet string & plastic cups).
As it happens, I had considered PlusNet but seem to recall having heard worrying tales about their using some "iffy" DNS tool, allegedly to assist with targeted marketing?

That would be Phorm which vanished some years ago

And wasn't it BT Retail that was the prime mover in using Phorm? Did unannounced trials?

If you decide to go with Plusnet you would be well advised to get onto them in the Community Forum after ordering online to get cashback. As Andrew says, moves away from full LU are messy and you need personal handling by one of the reps there.
The standard Plusnet system wouldn't do a simultaneous transfer, and Tesco (Vodafone) may automatically cut off the remaining service.

Dear God, if I had known that Tesco were the disgraceful, tax-dodging Vodafone I wouldn't have touched them!
Caveat emptor.

If its a WLR line then the number should be recognised by the BT Wholesale checker
NOTE The word ONLY in that quote, there is the implication its a full LLU service if you take Broadband AND Phone.

Ah yes, sorry, I missed that word ONLY and assumed that Tesco Home Phone also referred to the phone component of Tesco Broadband With Calls, but it doesn't.
