That seems like a bad cabling scenario. The cable coming from the wall should have been terminated by your ISP (placing a jack on the wall), and not ran directly from outside to inside your house. This is their fault and if you ever need to run FIOS again you'll have to get it re-wired, or terminated on the wall (given that they have enough cable length to work with).

I'm not familiar with FIOS, and not sure what cable they run inside your house. If it was a fiber optic cable coming directly to your house (not likely) then it will have to be re-wired
