jgas :
Thanks for the reply. I am using DSL and only getting 10-12mbs speeds. I thought if I had Cat6 and used a pair for phone in a couple of rooms that I would at least get 100mbs speeds preserved were I to get a faster internet source in future. Is it really that big of an issue to use a single pair for the phone?
Depends on how long you're planning on living at your house. You'd be doing something non-standard and will cause eventual issues in the future and will require a new line to be ran.
In the next 5-8 years, expect 1gb-10gb Internet to be making it to houses, assuming you're one of the 80% that live somewhat near a city. 10gb integrated NICs are supposed to start showing up on low-end chipsets in the next 5 years once 22nm makes its way to chipsets.
Again, depends on how long you plan on living at your place and what time-frame you're aiming for.
