Hey Folks,
Just trying to figure out what is going on with the telephone and internet wiring around my house. Can someone help me make sense of things?

The image above shows the master socket at my house.
The white cable entering the box from the right side of the picture (red arrows) comes from a telephone pole outside the house. It is active, as when i disconnect the wiring at a junction box upstream of the master socket, the phone line and internet both drop out immediately.
I cannot ascertain where the grey leads at the bottom are coming from, but look like they have been added more recently. I have not tested these at all.
Inside the master socket the white cable and grey cables are connected to each other and the master socket, then feed out to my microfilter etc as expected.
My question - if internet and phone are coming from the white cable, what are the 2 grey cables for?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Scott
