Hello,
I am a tenant and I need information regarding the telephone line of my accommodation (a detached house)
I would like to sign up for an internet + TV + telephone package, so I asked my landlord what the landline phone number of the accommodation was.
The problem is, my accommodation is not connected to the France Telecom network.
However, the outside telephone cables from France Telecom are on my facade but cut, and my landlord installed a telephone box inside the accommodation.
The aim: to connect the outside cables to the inside box knowing that the hole in the facade is drilled and a conduit is ready to accommodate the cables.
After some thought, why are there telephone sockets in the house, why an inside telephone box, why is there a drilled hole in the facade with a conduit directly to the inside telephone box, and especially why are the outside telephone cables cut?
Landlord's response: "during the renovation of the accommodation, the outside cables were cut to install a window, and we left it like that because France Telecom owns these outside cables and we don’t touch them
France Telecom will charge me I don't know how much just to put two screws, so I would like to do it myself.
If you have any explanations, diagrams... thank you
Have a good day everyone
PS: I would like, as I said, to have ADSL, so will my manipulation not weaken my line and leave me with a line that cannot handle a proper speed?

Hi!
Be very careful when messing with this kind of thing yourself! The cable belongs to FT...
Otherwise, if you still want to do it yourself, you need to pull a telephone-type cable made of eight strands. To avoid any loss due to cable extension, I recommend using single-strand cable (not multi-strand).
Then you need to connect only two of the eight strands, the white and gray ones, which will be attached to terminals 1 and 3 of your T-jack (there's no specific orientation, you can connect the gray wire to terminal 1 or 3 and vice versa with the white wire, it will work!).
That's it.

first of all, thank you for your reply,
in my case, the outside telephone cable consists of 4 strands (white, gray, transparent, and blue) and it is long enough to fit into the conduit and reach my indoor telephone box.
So actually, I just need to pass it through the conduit and connect the gray strand to connector 1 and the white strand to connector 3.
Do you think I will then have a dial tone? That way, I could plug in a landline phone and dial 01 23 45 67 89 to get my line number.
PS: If I happen to be a few centimeters short, I will connect it with single-strand telephone cable using something I've heard about, the Stochlock (a type of connector for telephone lines that ensures waterproofing), what do you think?
