I suspect this would be "Normal Practice" for many ISPs, They know
that BT wont check a line until the customer has carried out various
checks and BT wont respond to a call direct from the customer.

In many cases these days BT aren't the supplier of the line anyway or at
least not directly so it is a case of 'jumping through hoops' until
problems are solved.
