mine is 15m long and I can't complain about internet speed in general, ingame I usualy have a ping inbetween 5 and 30.

If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself.

About how long is it between houses?

Also if you intend to share internet, then its almost definitely illegal/violating user agreements. If your sharing a internal network you should be OK. 

If I use words like probably or most likely, it is because I dislike certainty. These words can probably be omitted and the sentence read as a certainty.

unless you mean extremely long then no, but extremely long ethernet cables has been used in businesses so you should be fine.

Length doesn't really matter in terms of speeds, but adds up latency.
