You could attach 2 strings (wires, ...) to one of the exsisting signal
wires, pull the strings up to the attic, and pull the signal wire back
down using one of the strings. The "traveler" string could be taped to
the signal wire as it goes up into the wall so less of the signal wire
has to be pulled up.
