To be honest, he's more into electrical stuff - he said twisted pairs aren't used in telephone cables but obviously I would disagree otherwise. What did you think of that pic?

Doesn't sound like he's going to help. The important thing is to find a pair of wires that are twisted together and use that pair.

Can you explain where that box is? Maybe draw a diagram of the wires and boxes as the signal comes into the house from the outside?

The BT cable coming in isn't twisted - there's no blue/white wire.

The BT cable coming in from where?

From the pole on the road - should it be twisted?

Yes. It should be (and it is, imo).

What makes you say it isn't?

I don't think it is? None of it is twisted... and what should I do about the like 6 six white cables. There's no blue/white?

Thanks again for your help

Sorry about this. Can you describe what happens to the wire from the pole when it hits the house? Does it go into an external box on the eaves? WHat about where it enters the house?

It's actually a business here so it goes from the pole, along the side of the building into a room where that box is located. A few pics are posted about 2-4 pages back showing where it comes in. It then goes via an underground cable to the master socket across a yard.

No problem - keep asking, I'm really dying to get this resolved. Thanks for your help by the way

Ok, so which is the incoming cable? The white and orange or the blue and orange?
