In fact it doesn't.

When I was on ADSL that after MW/LW radio was the largest source of
interference. twisted pair is PRETTY good at rejecting external fields
but its not PERFECT especially in a bloody great bunch

The saving grace is that the longer the cable is the weaker everybody's
signal is at the receiving end and that's where the radio starts to
dominate the noise equations, Especially after dark.
