A Pro would be that your regular 100BaseT Ethernet users two pairs out of the four so theoretically you could use the extra two pair to do voice. I'm not sure if telephone cabling and Ethernet cabling would suffer from being run in the same housing. Anyone with network cabling want to comment on this?
I know that for my DSL at home, rather than use filters, I have one line from the demarc that has the off pair of wires being used for the DSL from the POTS splitter. The other pair has plain old telephone on it and as such it doesn't appear to have any degradation from proximity. I'd actually be interested to hear more about this. As the maintainer of my own home network this could be useful.
