In Charters network -- not that good of one --, you can put RJ-11 upto 300ft, and keep a half-assed signal. When you hit the house, you have to put an amplifier on the line too, and you are amplifing a half-assed signal. So even if the modem did jump online at over 300ft, your speeds and packet loss would be horrible.
