Phone Line Maintenance And Engineering???

IT Loser

Hi there, those of you following my earlier threads will have noted that I have exposed the brown and blue wires running into my house from the street. These wires are essentially my phone line. Connected to those [by mere twisting of wires together] is a length of what we could commonly refer to or regard as plain old "phone line" - ie a white plastic column containing 6 different coloured wires rolled together.

Now, I am trying to re-wire the entire thing to get it ready for a broadband modem so that it is good to go. My problem is that the line is currently very bad quality, lots of static and interference. The modem dial-up fails after about 3 minutes or so every time.

Basically what I am looking for is advice as to how to go about fixing this myself using modern telephone wire and cable, jack boxes [Jacks, or sockets if you will] and the relevant connectors. Does anyone have any preferred wiring diagrams they'd like to share? A lot of the stuff I have bought [jacks mainly] are compatible but poorly made, the RJ-11 spade end keeps popping out compounding the issue.

Thanks.

Phone uses the middle two wires if you use RJ45 wiring and CAT5E cable:
which is the blue and blue/W wites in Cat5E cable.

Google CAT5.

If using RJ11, also the two middle pins / wires are for the phone, The two wires either side don't connect to incomming phone line at all but in parallel to every phone outlet as an anti tinkle circuit.
