Do you want to know if you were part of the illegal BT trials last summer? If so you can send a Subject Access Request to BT's Data Controller under the Data Protection Act (DPA). You will need to send a £10 cheque or postal order but they are required by law to respond to the request within 40 days.
You can read the Information Commissioner's Office Guidelines on your rights regarding SAR under the DPA by downloading the following PDF directly from their website:
Subject Access - Guide for Data Subjects
If anyone would like to submit any ideas for Subject Access Request templates please do so. If not I will try to get a template up by the end of the week.
Make sure you send Subject Access Requests as "Registered Post" should you need to issue a complaint against BT for failing to adhere to the SAR within the 40 days.
[UPDATE]
I have talked to a legal friend of mine and he is going to try to put a template for SAR together by the end of the week for us.
