Also...

Cat5/ to anywhere you might want to put a landline
- if you work from home, a decent "office type" wired phone is
better than
a DECT handset any day
- wired phones in places you dont *need* them to be wireless will cost
(marginally) less to run (no wall wart)
Cat5/ from your master phone socket location to node 0 / cabinet
- locate your broadband router/modem as close as possible to the master
socket (to get the best
DSL performance).  Then use the cat5 to run ethernet from the router to
node 0.  ie. as opposed to
extending the phone cable to node 0 and putting the modem there...

If you're not yet sure about some rooms then it might be an idea to run in
some additional spares - if the place
has wooden floors and you're using these voids to run cables as suggests
several per corner, you could bring some additional cable from node 0 with
the others and leave them spare under the floor (with enough length to get
them to any of the walls of the room).  Then when the house if finished and
you realise you need something you'd not thought of you only have to
disturb
1 floor not all the way back to node 0....
