That being said, you cant beat a proper junction box with some nice 4BA screws, not too sure ADSL or VDSL will appreciate the significant capacitance the older boxes will create though.
One junction box was the 3pair/5pair BT Block Terminal 66B - usually came as an empty box to which a three pair terminal strip and 2 pair terminal strips could be added but often just used to protect two or three dropwires/internal wiring crimped with 'Connectors 8A' or 8B.

Then there was the later BT16A which was a small box to accommodate up to three crimped dropwires - came in various colours - white BT16A - or brown

Hope that is of some use?
