Why not? I use nothing but, and it's plenty fast enough for us to stream 
video. There is noise associated with wired Ethernet. While choking the 
Ethernet cable can knock it down, not always completely.

As to telephone cable -- CAT5 and other structured cable is excellent 
for use in telephone wiring, and has far better bandwidth than almost 
anything else that could be used. Certainly better than standard Telco 
pairs. The fact that it's very good twisted pair also helps it resist RF 
and noise coupling.
