We got broadband+TV package and the TV does work fine - does this mean the problem should be hardware problem "in the house", rather than "the underground cable"?
For broadband part, I checked by connecting the modem to the wall box (Green Cabinet?) via that short cable and the 'flashing sync light' still occurs.
I got this down/upstream info through my wireless router:
(The downstream numbers, e.g. SNR, vary a lot from 0 to some 50 dB)
If I need to call them, what information of the housemate would I be asked? Also, how much does it cost to call the 0906 number from mobile? It does sound like a-pound-per-minute number to me!

If your SNR is below 30db then you will not get a connection, and if it varies over such a wide range then the is a fault with your connection which will require a Engineer visit before which you will have to connect up the original cable.
