telephone / CAT 5
Well. I'd certainly call and ask the local High speed service what there using from the connection point to first TV/cable modem. As said earlier by others make the choice a single home run for connection for TV and computer usage, and thus distributed back to the CPU’s or Telephone.
My phone and cable are run separate from main point of connection,
And is not a paid combined service, but with the available combined services of today, you’ll need to consider this going forward.
Where the wire changes over from house connection of cable/modem (example) to a router and possibly to an either net hub, the either net is not required but does allow an addition 4 CPU's, and there are only 4 connects on the smallest routers.
There’s really a whole lot of combinations, I like hard wires for phone, and CPU service and remember that with a hard wired phone you might still get phone calls when the power goes out. J
What people didn't say was that you can use the the additional wires of a Cat-5 8 pairs for telephone usage, but I didn't use that I like dedicated wires and not mixed services.
The big Organge box sells a smaller telephone peg board for around 25.00 a pop, 20-24 places.
ADDed:
I found this nice sight by Leviton in respects to the OP and what there using in the field, of course one has to sign up, etc. But it gives a good over-view and it isstick and to the point, IMO … Adobe marcoflash is required. http://ezlearn.leviton.com/el_front/login.aspx
