Should not be a problem. BT is the ones that run the adsl network so everything goes through them, the way ADSL knows what ISP to send you to is in the user name, so if I had a demon adsl account then the username would be [EMAIL PROTECTED] for adsl and that is what should go into the router. Note however these are not great routers, if they are disconnected for any reason they are not great at reconnecting and they will require a reboot to reconnect. Also that is more than lightly the property of BT and I would not suggest telling them you have it or they will take it off you.
