Default Communication wiring for a new house

We decided not to install network points in the bedrooms or by the TV.
Big mistake. We hadn't anticpated needing so many PCs and that TVs
would want a network connection when I installed the cabling many years
ago.


I agree. We have a total of 27 network points round the house (although
12 of them are in the 'office'). I put three in the living room; there is
a whole host of stuff near the TV, including a multicore cable to the
roof for antenna rotation, and a telephone socket.

I put them in the bedrooms and one turned out to be useful for an IP
camera (no, not what you think, Adam!). We had a vandalism issue outside
and the bedroom window was a good vantage point.

May not be worth it for the OP, but I ran multiple pairs to the front
door for doorphone/door release, terminating in the big central Krone box
for telecoms.
