I don't have DSL any more but when I did my installer used CAT-5 cable and put RJ11 connectors on it, this helped a lot. I was far out from the CO so I needed every little bit of help.
I'm 12,269 feet from the CO.
Which, to me, seems odd that another measely 25 feet makes any difference at all.
I am taking my transmition lines class for my EE degree this summer. The line length and termination characteristics make a *HUGE* difference to the signal quality. The phone company can balance the line to close to your home (I am not sure how close) but what happens inside is difficult to adjust for.
I used to think that any length of cat 5 was perfectly fine and good but that just ain't so. If you are at the wrong point in the signal wavelength, you will have problems.
