There's no argument there, I agree 100% and do prefer CAT3 when I can get it but my local suppliers don't carry it anymore, only Graybar. You're the first person I've seen mention the installation as the reason versus "It arrives on cat nothing, why upgrade it?" I personally see no technical/electrical problem with using cat5 for voice, so I was wondering if someone had a technical reason for not using it.
