Always run Ethernet Wire... Cat5e at least...... You can use this as phone wiring, but eventually you'll want ethernet wire.Thankfully they did this in my house and it has paid off immensely. I no longer use the phone wiring, but have used the Ethernet for routers, Ooma Machines, Music Streamers etc. etc.

Lucky me, that's what was used in a full 'to-the-bare-studs' remodel of our place about 10 years ago, with a phone jack in nearly every corner.
Just upgraded to fiber with the fiber modem and router in the garage where the service (fiber) enters the house. I've got the phone jacks replaced with RJ45 jacks and have the whole house wired with gigabit ethernet.
We didn't ask for it but our home was pre-wired with CAT6 throughout to all of the rooms with the cabling converging into a bundle down in the basement. Some of those cables go to our network switch while others are used for the phone.Each room has a wired phone jack and network jack, except for one room. That room is lacking a network jack. But as 'luck' would have it, I just switched out that phone jack and replaced it with an RJ45 network jack. We really don't need hardwired phone jacks as we use cordless phones.

While we had the Cat5e installed in our house, we also had phone wire and phone jacks everywhere.... I don't ever see us using the Phone Wire and Phone jacks..... Not even sure what it could be used for.
