Ok, Im not really repairing anything (yet), but since I love this group
so much, Im posting this noob question here anyway. Im in urgent need
to connect an adsl access point to the telephon line and to do it I've
two options
The 1st one to use about 1 meter of telephon cable and have it sharing
the same plastic duct used by the power grid wires (not the smartest
idea, I know).
While the second one is to connect the access point through a 6-7 meters
cable enclosed into a 5 to 6 meters copper pipe (not grounded) Could
this pipe work like an antenna and represent a possible source of noise
on the signal cable? or could the cable lenght cause an appreciable
signal attenuation?
Which of these 2 options should I pick?

Don't share the DSL wire space with power wires. Make sure you twist the
pares if using raw wire or use CAT5 and one of the the twisted pairs.
That extra few meters isn't going to affect your line quality of noise
level.
