Is CAT 6 cable okay as a telephone line?

I need to run a telephone extension, am I correct in assuming I can use CAT 6 cable for this?

  • I think it’s probably about seven years since I last ran an actual straightforward telephone extension, in another couple of years there won’t be a copper phone network to connect them to, we may not have ours in a few weeks from now.

    There are loads of things that will need to be replaced that are currently connected to telephone lines, like emergency call pendants in homes without internet.

  • in another couple of years there won’t be a copper phone network to connect them to

    So what will be there instead?

  • Voice Over Internet (VOIP).

  • And how does the 'Net get into the house?
