how many volts ? i am residential and only have one green and one red wire and thats it, no other wires, we dont use blue or black or yellow or anything else here, and also only two wires run from box to telephone pole

which is hot and which is neutral, or are both hot ?

at what times and how many volts ?

how do phone lines work ?

why would dsl work and not phones ? they are silent no static or anything, just totally dead

thanks
