If there is no phone service to the flat at all, and the wires are in such a poor state, you are probably best off just swallowing hard and paying BT for installation. If there's anything wrong or even just a little substandard about the cabling, it can have an effect on the broadband speed you will get. You could end up with months of hassle chasing Virgin (or whichever ISP you choose) to contact BT to send an engineer round.
