If you do want your modem in node 0 maybe for the extra switch ports
or
because of tidyness then you may want one of these:-

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....
