Having the wires coiled like that very likely degraded the line

characteristics to the point that you were getting a lot of lost/error

Why? Twisted pairs are resistant to interference.

Absolutely, the twisted repairs counteract interference, and each pair
is twisted at a slightly different rate to reduce crosstalk between the
pairs. Here's a simple summary.

Yes, but coiling the cable means that pairs (with twist pitch X)
interfere with other turns of themselves (still with pitch X),
so coiling the cable can increase scattering.
