Sky Broadband

Just a little bit of help needed please. I am just in the process of switching from Tiscali to Sky as my ISP. My current connection is an RJ11 cable from the phone socket to the modem, and a connection from the modem to the PC.

I received my box of goodies from Sky yesterday, including my router, an ethernet cable and a phone cable.

My question is can I use the RJ11 cable that I already have in place to connect the router to the phone line instead of using the phone cable that Sky have sent me?

    Yes you can, I did exactly that as the one provided in the box was not long enough.

    Thought it would be okay, but wanted to ask someone a little bit more technical than me!!
