Well, turns out I wasn't actually on bitstream, bit of a
misunderstanding there... my changeover date was in fact yesterday.
What I actually GOT from the changeover was: No DSL at all. great! DSL
appears to have been disabled on the line, I can't even connect to
attempt authentication. Orcon were nice enough to provide me with a
free dialup account in the meantime, but dialup?! It's been like this
for around 24hrs now...
