www.familyhandyman.com/article/what-to-do-with-your-old-wall-mounted-phone-jack"What was once one of the greatest technological innovations — the landline telephone — is quickly disappearing from homes, leaving unsightly evidence of its past prominence. If you’re one of the more than 50 percent of homeowners who have opted out of landline service, chances are you still have at least one ugly wall-mounted phone jack...." My notes: While we still have a landline, we do have some phone jacks that are obsolete now. Most we just left as is. If we ever redid the rooms, we'd patch it up. What have you done with yours?

Even if you do still have a landline, most services want you to plug your phone into their service hub box instead of those outlets. I wonder if they could be repurposed into ethernet ports to run internet instead?

Just left them alone. The old ones are not hooked up anymore. Have to use our modem to run the landline.

How would you reconfigure it to run internet do you think?
