Two totally separate phone sockets ?

Hi All,
Thanks for reading.
I'm about to become a Virgin customer with TV, Internet and Phone.
The fitting of the TV and Internet systems doesn't bother me but the phone is causing some concern so I thought I'd ask your opinion.
Currently I am with BT for phone and have a master socket in the hall, then out the back of that is a cable that goes through a few cupboard spaces eventually ending up in my room upstairs giving me a second socket.

VM obviously won't use the existing BT socket for the point downstairs so I'll be left with a dead BT socket both upstairs and downstairs.
It would be possible to connect the cable that comes from upstairs phone point to the new VM phone point downstairs but for various reasons I don't see how this could be done in a tidy manner.
If they put the VM phone point near the existing BT point its impossible to get the feed cable to it tidily.

After all that my question is..................

Is it technically possible to have four wires from the main VM box that is on my house wall outside where:-

Wire 1 = Phone point downstairs.
Wire 2 = TV
Wire 3 = Internet
Wire 4 = Phone point upstairs

wire 4 could then go up the outside wall, into the loft space then down to where I want the point to be ?

Hopefully the above makes sort of sense ??!!

Regards

Lynton
