It's worth mentioning that while it should be ok to move it yourself, it is possible that it may not work after being moved. This is because altering the cable length affects the power levels at the modem and if they drop too low it's goodnight Vienna. The only way to find out if it will work is to try it though.

Use satellite grade coax, if possible with moulded f-connectors at either end to save you the hassle of making up your own cable (also because poorly-fitted connectors can cause noise on the line and royally screw up your service).
