Old telephone or antenna lines can work! You tie the cable to the end of the old cable and pull it through the existing PVC pipe. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ccunix@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago That's exactly what I am about to do in the house we're signing for in few weeks (waiting for the attorney to give us an appointment). When I saw the phone jack's in every room, all terminating down in the garage, I just figured it would be rude not too. Seeing as we will have 2Gb fibre, it makes sense permalink fedilink source parent [–] sneezymrmilo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Using old phone lines is exactly what I did for my parents house, worked like a charm. Highly recommend if you don't need the phone lines anymore. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ccunix@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago Even if you do need a couple, run Cat6 anyway. RJ15 is a subset of RJ45, so it is simply a question of how you patch it at the other end. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ParanoidPizzas@aussie.zone 3 points 3 years ago* (1 child) This was an older stumped house. The way I did it was to remove a power point, look in the wall cavity for where the cable came up out of the floor in the cavity space, and then assuming there was no obstruction, I then got under the floor and drilled up. In most cases I was able to stay a good 20cm or so away from the power cable. Worked a charm. I was paranoid if I got it wrong I'd be drilling right up through the actual floor. Nowadays, doing the same at my own house.... Cut the plaster. Run cable. Patch plaster. No stuffing around with the slowly slowly approach 🤷♂️ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ParanoidPizzas@aussie.zone 1 point 3 years ago Nowadays, doing the same at my own house....
