Buy a set of those DSL thingamajigs. Unless you're trying to run PoE to power a remote device. Then you're screwed. Ethernet does not work beyond 100 meters. If it does, it won't be reliable.

I like TJ’s suggestion, but if you wanted a shotgun approach, you could try breaking up the twisted pairs and give yourself two 4-wire ends on each side that’ll hopefully still handle 10mbps, then bond them. BAM! 20mbps. It’s so terrible it just might work.
