It is a RENTAL. The wires don't belong to the OP. He needs to lean on

The telco considers their customer to be the "owner" of the wire. If there is
billable trouble with the wire in the rental, the CUSTOMER is billed - NOT the
landlord. It would be up to the customer to be reimbursed by the landlord for
any charges incurred.

It's VERY likely that the landlord will tell his tenant to "pound sand" and to
take care of the problem himself by dealing with the telco.

I ordered DLS from Bellsouth. I told them it probably wouldn't work
well without replacing the ghetto junction box. They said if it had to
be replaced they would pay for it. I got DSL now and they replaced the
box. It's working great so far.
