Even though the photos aren't too clear, they are IDC terminals (Insulation Displacement Connector). Hopefully they are still OK if you've been at them with your screwdriver
You need a little tool from B&Q, maybe PCworld, any telephony shop, Maplins etc. There are some very expensive ones around called Krone tools, but there are plastic ones available eg B&Q 40p or so. You don't need an expensive one. The generic name would be an IDC Insertion Tool.
In the meantime you can plug that 'Tamar' filter in at "the socket where you plug your sky in", taking stats as I explained yesterday. Then, you may as well powerdown the router for an hour say, and powerup before mid afternoon say, to recover that sync speed. I won't be able to post until later on today, so I'm hoping Pierre will be able to find you a few pictures of how to use the IDC Insertion tool - he' so good at finding info, and pictures like that But in any event, there is no immediate rush for that.
@HP this is the phone lead from the sky receiver, there's no real choice about the cable apart from which it'll be filtered.

Understood that, but thought it had been extended (under the carpet?). Obviously the captive lead on the receiver isn't changeable.

Now chaps, I don’t know how but I’ve managed to get the wires into the Sky adapter. Which I’m very pleased about, only problem is if I click
services on Sky it say phone not connected. But I’ve checked both ends of the sky cable, everything seems OK
Oh can I just say despite the better speed the web pages sometime are very slow to load.
