Hi,
Moved into a new house got phone line reconncted with BT and O2 home broadband on it.
Syncs at 2612Kbps/834Kbps on a 2.6km line.
The internal wiring is as follows:
BT Wires comes in next to window > small BT branded box > NTE > 2 Extensions to bedrooms.
Below are two pictures - one of the small BT box joining the wires from outside to internal and the NTE.

I have two questions.
1) In the small box joing external to internal wires the pairs are twisted together rather than crimped or soldered. Is it advisable to change this box for one with built in connection terminals?
2) The nte is adkwardly mounted about 1.5cm below the floorline. Does anyone have any idea how I can get this above without damaging anything? Ideally I would like to replace the NTE with an adsl filtered faceplate model.
Thanks.
