hey Dan -
I'm now in a similar situation and looking for a "rugged Cat-5 + some analog pairs", and I'm in Canada as well.
I've contacted all the Major cable players in Canada and options/pricing are all over the Map (in some cases, it's a whole nother planet!) but I was plesantly surprised by the Pricing on the Whirlwind Medusa-Cat-6 that Frank Linked to earlier in this thread - it's quite nice and considerably cheaper then what I have seen from others.
Can I ask you for details of what you found, where/who you contracted and the pricing you found? In my case the Medusa at it's pricetag seems like a bargain... almost sniffs of "too good to be true"... anyone else out there got one, and if so, whad do you think?

Hi all,
We decided to go the with the solution proposed by Mac: separate cat5 and audio snakes, bundled together. Easier to change one of the elements in case of failure, more choices of retailers = better prices.
Thanks for all the replies.
Cheers
Dan
