Wait, how would a phone cable cause a symptom like that...?

Maybe they're using the phone line for their Internet ? Vsdl etc...

I'm guessing some of the wires being broken caused congestion or sonething, I dont know why it did it, I just know once I fixed the cable it was fine.

Was the video signal going through it? Otherwise, sounds more like a coincidence.
