It would if you were using the old four wire, non twisted cat 0 phone
wire. Since you are using cat 5 wire which is twisted pair the twist
cancels out the common mode interference that would most certainly have
been picked up with the old untwisted wire.
As for the drop to the house which is likely non twisted drop cable, it
is not in close enough proximity to be a problem. The magnetic field
that induces interference drops off in strength rapidly with distance.
