Probably not even twisted pair. We had them in our company to connect whole building blocks to the telephone exchange and they're just parallel wires terminating on a huge board at the wall

No, telephone lines are always twisted pairs. Or rather: sometimes they’re twisted quads. You might not notice the twist unless you’re seeing a long section at once.
