I need to move my main BT cable coming into my house as im building a porch and the cable runs down the wall where the lead flashing will be. I've opened the main telephone port in my house and there is only 2 wires connected. Orange and White going to terminals 2 and 5. There are a grenn black and what looks like 3 yellows all just snipped off doing nothing, is this normal?

Three yellows in exterior drop cable are not conductors in the normally accepted way but steel support wires for when the cable is strung between pole & Property.
