Actually, my builder had already planned on home runs of CAT5 for the phone lines to two rooms. All I did was pay to have outlets (and their associated home run CAT5) to all other rooms (4 at $135 ea). I then was able to later talk them into running a *PAIR* of CAT5's instead of just one to each outlet. The second one will be terminated with RJ45's. Due to a screw up on their part regarding my foundation & plot plan (in short its a raised ranch and the grade was supposed to be low enough to allow full size windows in back of the ground floor ... didn't happen), they ended up giving me the extra wire & jacks for free.
