Me too. My house was built in 1951 and had only minimal phone outlets. When I moved in in 1985, TV coax had been pulled into the living room, and I added a couple more coax outlets, and pulled a second (modem) phone line into my home office, which happened to be right next to the telephone demarc box on the outside, so I just drilled a hole right through the wall. In 2013, I rebuilt the kitchen, and took the opportunity to identify every spot where one might want to put a computer, a telephone or a TV, and each got two RJ45s and a coax socket (well, only 6 got the coax) all wired to the bottom of a back hall closet, which became my wiring closet, and home to the cable modem and root ethernet switch. That has served me well. Of course, the landline POTS telephone service is long gone, and it's been a while since I dropped the coax cable service when I switched my Internet connection to fiber. -- Lars Poulsen - an old geek in Santa Barbara, California
