Who does this in the BCS area? Our house was built in 95 and has tons of phone lines that I would like to switch to ethernet cables. Who do I call for this type of service? Electrician? Home A/V guys?

Any help is appreciated.

Either can do it.

Home AV is probably cheaper.

But why? Wifi is faster than cables.

It most definitely is not faster speed wise. Hardline will always beat wireless.

What kind of wire was used for the telephone runs? Mine from 91 i used cat 5 for all of them and just changed the jacks, and ran the certification scanner. Most test at cat5e level and work fine for gig Ethernet.
