Help with Telephone Wiring Mess!

Moderators, relocate thread if not posted in the right area.

I'm looking for some help from anyone who is experienced with phone line connections, I have recently acquired this property and the phone wiring is in an absolute state, I am wanting to minimise as much of it as possible, I intend to take out a Sky package and I'm not 100% sure what connections they will use.

From the outside there is some green trunking, with a thick coaxial cable and thin phone line in it, from tracing the coaxial wire it looks like it goes to a Virgin Media outlet inside the house. The thin phone line runs to a Virgin Media telephone socket, which splices into another telephone socket.

next to the green trunking another line runs up from the ground, this goes into a small grey box and then runs via a thin telephone line into the house and to a BT Openreach telephone socket.

How much of this could I get rid of if I just wanted a Sky telephone / internet package? any input would be highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
