Hi,

This has probaly been posted/asked before, and if it has i apologise.
I recently built a new house and because i could not make up my mind which cable to install to the phone points in all rooms i ran a cat 5 and a normal twisted paired cable from each location back to a central point in the utility room.
Now my questions are these (if the answers are simple like myself, then great)
1) Which cable should i use as the pohone cable.
2) What is the best way to connect the cables together back in the utility room in order to get the best result in each room and for BB purposes.
3) Can i use this cable/system also to get sky tv into each room.

Kind Regards
kevin.
