Old Telewest wall unit in new flat - what is it?

Hello Everyone, I'm a 'noob' here but this looked like the best forum for this question.

Just moved into a new flat in Islington, London. Weirdly, there are no phone sockets anywhere, but there is what looks like an old cable-tv wall unit:

I guess my questions are:
- is this a cable TV box?
- whats the bit coming off the side - could they be phone wires? (the white wires have been cut so it just ends with bare wire at the mo, no connectors)
- how do I find out which companies' cable service is going into this box?

I assume that the previous inhabitants of the flat were using this for internet, tv and maybe phone (because I can't see anything else they could have used) - so although it looks old I'm hoping its still working.

So if I figure out which company was operating this thing, I'm hoping to get some services set up without getting new boxes installed etc ...

Thanks in advance for any help
