Well it was no placebo. I'd measured my speed a dozen times on a

consistent afterwards.

That's entirely possible. You changed untwisted wire for twisted pair
wire. Twisted pair cancels out interference, so I can well believe you
saw an increase in your DSL sync speed.

Nope. After a mile of crappy phone company, ten feet of more crap
isn't going to matter.
