cyril7: Hi, and that Homeplan cable is infact cat5 rated (latter batches maybe cat5e but otherwise cat5), so techically you can run fast ethernet down it.

AFAIK the factory making telephone cabling use what ever twist their current ethernet cable uses.
@raytaylor When have you ever found aluminium cabling used in NZ?

Yep that is correct, the Homeplan stuff was just a two pair build of stock cat5 pairs from a standard cable source.
There have been reports of aluminium cable turning up, much of it seems from dodgy asian sources, you pay for what you get!.
I was at a TE Connectivity presentation the other day and they stated a fair bit had turned up around the place, causes serious corrosion issues with IDC connections (ie Krone LSA).
