CCA and CCS cables

Your direct experience wasn't relevant to what was being discussed.

Surely within limits it makes no difference. I agree about IDCs, mixing sizes in one is not smart.

1mm^2 has 44 milliohms per metre per pair, so 0.5mm^2: 88mohm/m, 10m = 0.88 ohms, 0.2mm^2: 220mohm/m, 10m = 2.2 ohms. For telecomms I wouldn't expect it to make a difference. A kilometre of it would.

Less than 10m 0.2mm^2 CCS really screwed up the ADSL. No noticeable change in the POTS for the < 10 minutes it was in circuit.

I presume it's misbehaviour at rf that causes that, I can't see the extra 1.32 ohms being the problem.
