Telephone Line

bonnieprince · 2013-10-21 12:06:54

I have a telephone coming into my house by the front door. The cable is 2 core copper cables (not connected to any junction box). My question is will this be suitable for a broadband connection from Eircom/Magnet etc or will they need to replace with a Cat 5 type cable from pole on the street. Thanks bp.
