Will a long phone wire reduce my DSL speed?

[CarolClark]

If I run a 100 foot phone wire around the house to install another jack, will that lower my DSL speed.Is there a maximum length for phone wire, before it lowers the signal?

Did u mean ADSL? Yes the length of wire does matter because also anything could happen in between (a few users had their dogs chewed the wires, i'm not joking).

Having said that, every case is different. I think u should deal with the problem IF it comes. There could be other reasons for slow connections.

The maximum is 100 metres. Approx 300-ft.

You can not use a telephone cable as short as wall outlets are located in places near sources of heat, angles, etc. and look at our house you can not set the computer near wall outlets. In addition, we would have wires all over the place, making great opportunities to travel and get hurt, or put together tables.
