Apparently if you put a short on the copper line, the ADSL still works, but of course the Analog/ISDN EXCH port does not work. If this is true where does the ADSL get it's reference from being still able to keep communicating over the line with the short on it ?

>To see the ADSL voltage, you measure between earth and which leg ?

>>Does anyone has 1st-hand experience of this ?
