If youre talking about ethernet cable (Cat5e UTP) the limit is 100m (properly fitted). If your talking about catv then dont touch it, you break AUP and if you send a spike down the line you might end up paying for more than paint!

Prob about £50-£75, depends on how they feel at the time.

Only contract law, the possibility of a big bill if you balls it up, £50-£75 when it doesnt work...
Just leave the modem were it is, buy some more enet cable £<0.75-£1.50 per metre depending on where you go.
