I shall go one better and say that I ran ADSL for over 3 years on a 15 meter
extension taking the most convoluted route from the master socket to my
office.  Oh, and it probably had more than one staple going through it as
well.  Wire was the cheapest of cheap kits bought from Wilkinsons (think it
cost me about a quid).

Never had a problem with the ADSL tho...
