Ken,
Our remodel was for all practical purposes a new house. Our electrical
contractor wired up cable, phone and LAN. We used shielded CAT 5 for
both phone and LAN and whatever the regular coax is for TV/video
(RG-11?). Also had the fire/smoke alarm folks use shielded cable as
well. I then put some of the clip on ferrites throughout the house
before the drywall went up.
I would insist your subcontractor use shielded CAT-5 (or whatever cable
you use).
Speaking of cable, I was speaking with the AT&T broadband folks yesterda
y about cable network, etc and they would have used regular phone line.
Uugh.
However, I can't tell you if anything works yet as we haven't moved back
in. I should know more next week.
