My bad i did't clarify... It is definitely a shielded adsl cable, no issue there.

Unless you think that's really costing me a lot of speed...?

You could be loosing speed, but more importantly if the extensions are not filtered they are liable to pick up interference, not necessarily all the time, but enough to cause problems, even if they are not used.
You can carefully remove one of the wires and if you loose dial tone, that is the incoming wire, so remove the other pair and connect them to the 2 and 3 terminals on your faceplate. If you don't loose dial tone, vice-versa.
