Does the length of a coax cable determine the deterioration of data speeds?

Due to some video applications that we need to stream - we are in need of the fastest and most reliable data connection. We are going to be using cable because that is the only within reach technology that we can use. We currently have two coaxes coming in to the building but the problem is that our building is far away from the pole. Thus we run the coax from the pole to the nearest roof and then we run it along the roof and eventually into the building. We are intending to add to more but our production room in on the far side of the building farthest from the current entry point. Will I get any deterioration if we just run the two new coaxes from the pole to the building and then run along the roof and into the production room. Will that be the best or will it be better to bring it in where it is coming and then run cat (it is 350 Ft) to the cable modem? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
