I noticed that Toll Brothers now build new houses with 2 new
CAT5e lines as a standard. Why? Each CAT5e can support 4 pair
of phone lines.

I noticed that both jacks on the same outlet connect to the
same phone number in my friend's new house.


Are you asking for help for a problem or just why the builder would run 2
cat5 lines?





Hi,
Digitally one pair of wires can do lot of things. Multiple numbers, fax,
DSL modem hook up, etc.
Here local builders wire new houses for phone, data, audio, video,
security hook up throughout the house. I thought U.S.A. is high tech
country.
I am in Calgary Alberta. Even rural farmers have fiber optics based high
speed Internet access.
