The Cat 3 is better then the telco twisted pair coming into your house ! Good for at least 100 Meters ( 330 Ft.) at 1.544 Mhz (T-1)
DO NOT use the other wires in the four pair cable for your VoIP dial tone, this will cause nothing but trouble. When your VoIP router sends a ring voltage (95 to 105 VAC @ 20 or 30 Hz), this COULD interfere with your T-1 , causing any number of problems, from framing errors to clocking problems.
