Regardless of the regulations it is bad practice to run telephone

Or even better, Cat5e ;-)

Probably depends on what 'data' means, I tried wiring an Ethernet
connection with cable marked as CW1308, and couldn't get it to run above
10Mbit/s, some NICs wouldn't work at all with CW1308 cable, that's with
just 5m runs. Seems the CW1308 cable had no twists in it.
