you can switch the connections at the junction box outside the house, or inside where the lines are distributed throughout your house. inside, if it's a wiring terminal junction, just move the incoming pair of wires representing your internet phone line to where your old "line 2" connection is on the terminals. outside, in the "owner access" part of the junction box there will probably be rj11 plugs that you can just switch. in effect, your "line 2" connections inside the house will now be your internet line. the poor connection is probably caused by the inside wiring and not the outside since you probably have a new line drop from having three lines into your house.

that would be a shame though, not to use your cable connection. there are two options to connect your cable / ethernet to your office using existing wiring - you can use either your phonelines or powerplugs which use existing electrical connections. in both cases you will need additional devices to accomplish the connection. it is probably more worthwhile to run an ethernet cable up to your attic / crawlspace (if you have one) and figure the distribution from that point...
