I think you'd get away with any standard 4 core "phone" wire. I ran some
extensions in my last flat with 4 core phone wire from B&Q (it was white
too).

Later, I had the option to have the master socket moved for free (ISDN
upgrade) by BT. Lazy sod made use of my cable for the extra leg - so it
would be fairly hard for them to prove it wasn't them who did it.

Likewise when I converted from ISDN to ADSL + an extra phone line, the
BT bod reused the cat5 that came with the NTE9 for the new phone line.

As long as whatever you do is to a decent standard I have not known the
bods on the ground complain. (although to be fair, more recently when
investigating a line fault, I have one had one BT bod comment that the
line from their external JB through to the two master sockets
convienently located in a cupboard next to my PABX was not "our cable"
and was not using the colour coding they use, but other than that did
not seem too bothered. I expressed an mildly interested "oh really" and
did not say anything else ;-)
