Phone Line Hook up?

[randerson]

My buddy is remodeling his basement and since we have all the drywall off we are going to run a new phone line he only uses it for internet with qwest and suggestions

Run a high speed cable at the same time. That way if he ever upgrades, the correct cable is already there.

Most are intalling

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line or ADSL, which has become very popular for residential internet access. ADSL can provide a subscriber receive speed approaching 1.5 Mbps and transmit speeds between 160 and 640 Kbps, which is more than adequate for most internet access applications.

If you can find Cat5e or even Cat6 cable that would be the best for the job. Make sure to make each run is a separate cable from the jack to the dmarc(were Qwest has there lighting protection)If it is out side the house you might want to just leave a couple of extra feet at the dmarc end inside the house. If you want to connect dial tone to the jacks use the white/blue pairs and they would connect to the red/green pairs at qwest's end unless they have newer cable that uses white/blue.
