Longest high speed RJ-11 cable I could find on this side of the pond (USA) is about 10m. Maybe someone knows of a longer cable and if it is advisable.
ALTERNATIVE:
You will want to place your computers behind a BROADBAND ROUTER for firewall and other protection regardless of how long a RJ-11 cable you use. In doing so, you can run a short RJ-11 cable from your wall jack to your ADSL modem, and then you can run up to 100m of network cable (cat5e or better) from the ADSL modem to the BROADBAND ROUTER. From the BROADBAND ROUTER, you can run up to 100m of network cable to your computers.
You could even forget about a nework cable between the BROADBAND ROUTER and your computer by making a wireless connection to your computer. This requires that your router be a WIRELESS BROADBAND ROUTER and that your computer have a WIRELESS NETWORK ADAPTER.

My ISP tell me I need a
I have a problem connecting to my ADSL, which I've discussed with my ISP tech support.....
My PC is about 40' away from the incoming phone socket that I have to use.
I connect my PC to the net via one large phone extension cable. At the PC end, I plug the ADSL modem, then into my PC.
I was advised that I would need to get a suitable size of "screened ADSL cable".
I think that a 15 metre cable would do it - BUT I CAN'T FIND ONE!

follow the link, it's the 4th product down on the catalogue (High specification ADSL broadband modem, RJ11 to RJ11 cable, 5M) - the AA2600 at 10m is the closest I've found.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
The modem I'm using is a safecom USB ADSL Annex A (ADSL over pots)
