Others will tell you different, but I have ran phone, cat5e and Romex all
together. In fact, when I wired my garage, the phone cable (I used cat5e
cable) was ziptied to the main run of Romex cables for the whole garage. No
problems with it at all. My phone cable is brought to my house hanging
underneath the main lines, and people want you to believe that a 120V cable
is going to cause a interference problem. nada!

It would if you were using the old four wire, non twisted cat 0 phone
wire. Since you are using cat 5 wire which is twisted pair the twist
cancels out the common mode interference that would most certainly have
been picked up with the old untwisted wire.

As for the drop to the house which is likely non twisted drop cable, it
is not in close enough proximity to be a problem. The magnetic field
that induces interference drops off in strength rapidly with distance.
