I want to place my pc in my room, & I have 10m of cable. Should I follow an existing wiring(power and telepone lines) to my room, or make a different path so that the electricity from the wiring does not affect my DSL speeds. Does close wires have any effect?

Don't think low voltage AC like 115 will cause any problem. Only time I've seen trouble is in industrial applications where some dummy ran the comm cable inside the conduit with 480 volt, 3 phase power conductors.

The voltage here is 220V. But my house is three phase. the fuse box is 415V, but all items are 220V. Is this ok?

You will be fine as long as you don't use cable ties and strap the cable to the electrical cable. Let it hang loose.

I was planning to attach it to the wall using plastic hinges. Hang loose, it will not look nice. Thanks, will not strap at the electric cable.
