Broken cable

Hi I've accidentally broken the cable which connects the box to the phone connector in the wall. I have no WiFi and it seems to only accept a certain open reach connector. I need a new cable? How do I get one I seem to get nowhere on the phone

If you're connect to one of the below sockets:

Sounds like you need an RJ11 to RJ11 cable:

Re: Broken cable

If you mean the one which connects the sky router to the socket on the wall you need an RJ11 to RJ11 cable.  You should be able to find one on amazon for a few pounds.  Get the shortest one that still meets your needs as a longer cable can slow the connection.
