They arent. Most are either 2 or 4 conductor.

EDIT: Telephone cables in the UK consist of either four or six-core cable - depending on the circumstances of the installation. Each strand of the cable is a single wire wrapped in a colour-coded sheath to aid identification. The reason each wire is only a single strand, is because the current used to power the phone-line is extremely small, so doesn't need multi-stranded cable. (Snakester1962)
