I wouldn't be so sure. If the new cable route passes near more or larger
sources of interference than the old cable route (eg. heating system,
electrical cables, fluorescent tubes, energy-saving lightbulbs) then it
could well be down to just that.

Unfortunately "high quality" does not necessarily mean "shielded",
especially with phone cable. If you can get access to the cable, it
might be worth wrapping some shielding around it, to see if that helps.
