Yes, I got a 15m one MUCH cheaper at CPC (I don't use it any more;
router and rack are 1 metre from the master socket!)

Having said that, a twisted pair cable will be better in many
cases, as a house is inherently a 'noisy' place.


Yeh but it still requires RJ11s unless one wants to wire from the
back with CAT5 and that is probably only better than standard
(modern) BT twisted pair cable cos it is thicker and hence less
lossy.
I doubt it is possible to get RJ11 terminated CAT5 unless one makes
it oneself and manages to get the thicker cable into RJ11s

ADSL Nation used to do a range of what they called ADSL2 extension
leads, RJ11 plugs on the end & (lovely) twisted pair inbetween & if my
memory serves me well the longest was 20mtrs, which should fill
anybodies needs..
