If one has FIOS or some other fiber-optic phone/internet service, what

Is it Cat-5,6? Fiber-optic cable? 4-conductor phone line like has
been used for 80 years (and before that maybe 3-conductor), usually
round and white? If I use Cat-6 will it work better?


I'd install cat6 for internet and cat3 or better for phone. But as a practical matter and for maximum future proofing, do the whole thing in cat6.

When the installer comes, show him your DNC credentials and you might get a free install.
