In installing some Copper Wire to the house from the Power Pole where the TOT wires are connected. The engineer said it didn't matter which way around the two black sheathed copper wires were connected to the red and green in the terminal box.

I can hear my own voice quite loudly in my handset and calling internationally, a lot of echo on the other end.

Is there a way to confrim there is no problem with the black sheathed copper wires?

your engineer is correct.

it makes no diference which way u connect...

probably something in yr handset regarding the loudeness...

the echo is due to CATs crappy gateway.

go for a walk and look at the installation of the wires for phone and power.

The question is not why the quality is so bad, the question is why it is still working sometimes, normaly it should not work at all.
