Default Old phone jacks

pssst pssst Cat 5 is basically what is used for all phone lines now a
days. No, it's not necessary, but neither are cd's. 8 tracks work fine.

Cat 5 is not necessary for phones. If you are getting DSL for
Internet then you only need Cat 5 for that one location. The phone
company will install that.

If you have a network, you will be using wiring from the router
location to each computer and not to the phone service. This wire
should be Cat 5 or you could use wireless.

Likewise, if you are getting cable Internet, the extra computers will
need to be wired to the cable router location.

I would just wait on phone service.
