Where is the cheapest place to get 20 Meters of internet ADSL cable?
(cheaper than pcworld)
where they give it in just the wire format, no fancy packaging.
EDIT:
The wire is to connect a ROUTER to my comuter = which is about 16 meters away from each other.
The router is in 1 room, the Computer in another room.
The router has MANY outputs for this wire....

I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple0 -
this is what you want it's for connecting a computer to a router ect the other link was rj11 thats a very long telephone cable !

What do you want to connect? Socket to router or router to PC?
If it's between the phone socket and the router 20m is a seriously bad idea and will slow down your broadband.
Otherwise you need an Ethernet lead as per Sonstream's post. Usually nothing to set-up on a modern PC or router. Just connect and away you go.

I think that this is what you're looking for. Far cheaper than PC World. Works fine for me (15 metre cable also available through Amazon).
