STILL OBSOLETE.
AND I would never consider BURYING RG-8 UNDERGROUND.
And YES, I HAVE LOTS OF EXPERIENCE WITH RG-8 with RF AND DATA.

For the OP of this thread, it is just THREE HUNDRED FEET of twisted pair which is well within the specs of 328 ft.
I have personally used just under 350 ft of twisted pair at 1 gigabit speeds with no degradation of network speeds pushing 12-15 gig files all day long.
Even for business purposes there ARE other methods which are PREFERRED over the archaic coax..
