If it was anything like some of the contractors that BT use, then it may well have been bodged.

I was talking to a friend who is a BT engineer yesterday. And he told me some stories abot contractors. There is one team who have to have two BT engineers following them around, and putting right things that they have done wrong. Then there was another team who were supposed to install a line from a pole, that had to go around to the back of the house. Apparently due to the fact that it would take more than 20 mins, they put a plug on the line on the pole, did a test there, and signed the job off. And didn't even do the install.
