Even if you have to pay for it yourself, don't use anything but Cat5 for your Internet connection.
So, if you use a cable modem then I guess you must have strung Cat 5 cable back to the HFC node, or if you're using DSL you have connected it directly to the CO.

Verizon, and as far as I'm aware, AT&T aren't advocating using existing cabling for your entire home network, though for many people this would be the preferred solution. Instead, they are using it to firstly get their WAN connection into your house, and secondly to get data connectivity to TV STBs. There is nothing to stop you making the connection from your computers back to your internet router using Cat 5, Cat 6 or Cat 372 if you so choose.

Re: Put in for Cat5 .........

What are you talking about? I'm just talking about the wiring in your house. The Telco will put the Interface to your house, then from there I said run Cat5. Who would be crazy enough to go back to the C.O.?
