Just something to be aware of, using a telephone phone extension cable to the router can often result in reduced ADSL speeds. If possible, connect the router using the standard cable supplied to the master telephone socket and then run an ethernet cable from the router to the computer ( or use wireless ).

It depends on what is convenient and what one plans to do with ones internet connection. I have no problems with a 10 metre run of internal telephone cable and can get up to 10Mbps on my connection. No problem at all for browsing, emails and streaming. There is already too much clutter near the main socket and ethernet cable is much thicker than telephone wire so more obvious.
However if the speeds you are getting do not meet your needs try following MisterW's advice.

my speed seems ok

In that case, the old adage 'if it aint broke don't fix it' applies. Leave well alone...
