    House Rewiring - Telephone Line

    Personally I would run cat 6 ethernet cable all run to central point of your choosing. You can then terminate the cat 6 into either a j45 socket for network or telephone plate. Then use a patch panel to wire up as desired. Then you've got the option for networking or setting up for telephone.
