Any additional phone lines should have just come from the appropriate

If this is what happened in your case, then it begs the question how many
other FTTN and FTTC network connections have been improperly
installed around the continent.

Great explanation Gary. That was exactly my problem. The NBN Co contractor who came to my place, in between two other Telstra Tech visits ended up making a new lines off the wall in the street and looped all the other sockets (in house line) at the back of the modem so that was isolated from the feed off the street. He picked up the problem straight away and said it should never have been set this way by the first tech. He added it would have worked but dropped often and the connection would have been unreliable. So my guess is a lot of installations would be bodged. Maybe not new ones but migrations from old ADSL services to NBN certainly.
