Today I installed a wireless router in my bedroom. To get from the basement up to the room, the cable runs through outside conduit secured to the house. A few years ago, I ran an extra 2-pair Beldin CAT3 in case I wanted to hook up a test extension to my Partner ACS.
I used some of the Systimax cable to go from one of the ports on the FiOS modem to an existing 66 block. From there I connect to the 2-pair going up to the bedroom. From there I terminate onto another 66 block. Lastly I ran another piece of Systimax from the block to the Linksys wireless router sitting on my desk.
Despite the Jerry rigged arrangement, my speed seems quite good:

My FiOS data service level is 25/25.
