Anyone know anything about phone lines?

I have removed the 1,3,4 and 6 wires from all the wall sockets. Which has helped slightly increase my sync rate.



When the phone line enters the house it goes in to this thing. ^^

Then it goes on to the master socket which has the ring capacitor.

I am sure this isn't helping anything, considering it looks like **** and is extremely old, as old as the house infact. I take it I can't remove it because of BT ruling etc.

I'm not sure whether any of those cables can be removed for a better more stable connection. With the possiblity of connecting up an NTE5 box.

that doesn't look liek any phone line im familiar with, that's gotta be super old. phone line wires are usually thinner than that and they now use a square box as standard. and i know it only needs 2 lines to actually run, but inside the box there is always atleast 3.

Yeah, the master box is after this thing. It seems to convert the phone line from outside in to the smaller wires which go in to the proper socket that the phone goes in to.
