Which is why I keep saying that not everyone has a demarc point to which
their entire home phone wiring is connected to via a modular RJ-11 plug
that they can simply dis-connect by unplugging the plug.

But their certainly is in the picture of the NID he also included.

If you have a "box" (NID) outside there is always a plug which allows
you to easily disconnect your stuff and allows telco access without
needing to go inside. That is the entire point of the NID.


His wiring reflects a typical older phone service that terminated on an
inside carbon protector block. At some point the telco was doing work
there and they did a typical installation of a NID outside while leaving
the protector block in place.
