Nildram tend to be quite pally with the likes of BT and seem to be
amongst the first to offer the services such as recently offered
whereby they would convert to analogue (PSTN?) for a line test, and if
that failed, convert you back to digital for ISDN, all inclusive in
the charge.

But interestingly their web site states:

ISDN to ADSL re-grades

It is possible in most cases to re-grade Home Highway ISDN to ADSL but
this will definitely involve a visit from a BT engineer, which is no
longer required with the other ADSL services or options. It should
also be noted that conversion would result in reverting the line back
to what is effectively an analogue phone service with a single number.
There are clearly some advantages in upgrading to ADSL but the current
usage requirements of the ISDN service must be considered before a
conversion is done, it may be worth considering an additional analogue
line for use with ADSL rather than a re-grade.
