Hi,
three months ago I moved to my home and did a bundle package for TV+FiberOP. Yesterday I decided to add the phone line, so I called Bell and they gave me a number while online, saying I just needed to plug my phone in and I was all set.
I went down to my basement and opened the cabinet where both electrical panel & telephony is.
Since my home is 10 years old, I found lots of phone wires and two gray boxes, but nothing market Bell.
I went outside, there is another gray box, bigger, which seems to gather a number of TV cables but, like the ones inside, it was pre-existing.
Basically, I cannot find a phone jack which is what I would have expected when you get a service.
I phoned Bell, they said that probably, because the tech came to install TV + Fiber Op, he didn't bother too much installing a phone jack, so a technician would cost me 90$.
Obviously, I find this unfair, especially because you buy a service and they do not provide you the way to access to it, it's like buying a car without the keys to put the engine on.
So, I decided to tidy up things and install the jack myself, but I need a starting point, that is why I am asking your advice based on the pictures enclosed.
As you can see, I have many phone cables, two gray boxes, a number of phone sockets all over the house, no jack at the demarc point.
I just need a line which I will use with my VoIP/fixed line wireless phone, but I need to identify the main line and put a jack.
Can you help me?
