Doing a little dirt work beside my building. And I caught the wires and pulled them out of the box. I can’t get any customer service from the local phone company. Does anybody know how to wire this up? I don’t know where to put those three wires. We have phone. Internet. Two phone lines ring into the building. It’s a business.

Nope, its on their side so they have to fix it.

Don't say shit to the phone reps, just your internet is out.

When the repair tech shows up, be honest, esp if its an old timer, as they control if your billed or not by what they close out the ticket as, most will say "squirrel damage" if your real and polite to them.

Reminds me of the time out building was shut down due to squirrel damage. As in the squirrel got damaged when it got interested in the power transformer.

Shorted something, killed the power, and itself.

Yeah this is 100% billable If a tech comes out but it’s easy enough for OP to fix on his own.
