I'm not sure which village you live in but those RJ45 jacks were installed as phone jacks which is why the blue and orange wires are the only ones punched down. Also, in the bedrooms the wall plate is a telephone jack wall plate not an RJ45 ethernet jack so with those you need to replace the whole plate to convert it the an ethernet jack. Only in the new areas down South are RJ45 ethernet jacks installed and I understand that to cut costs, they don't install these jacks in every room unless you specify them.
