When I had a landline/ADSL-type broadband, originally there was a BT66B but there were interference issues (junction box was full of spiders....) and Openreach replaced it with a new wire from the pole and one of the black sausage-type junction boxes with the clip-on cover.

Jelly-crimps should be waterproof - I've seen plenty of instances where they have been underwater for weeks/months without problems.
