    I couldn’t tell reading the post, but they may be renting instead of owning? They likely can’t do bigger construction tasks like that, so they’re forced to use what they have.

      It wouldn’t matter because 4 pair ethernet cable can still transport 2 pair phone signals just fine (if not better), so he could just replace the the sockets back to the old RJ11 ones and the landland wouldn’t ever know that anything was changed.

      Either way, reading at the other replies, it seems that houses in UK don’t actually use ducts to pass the cables so replacing the cable is nearly impossible. Didn’t know that.
