Going back to my old support days.

Wiring used for telephones, when used for telephones works fine. When the same
wires are used for other purposes, including data transmission, strange things
can and will happen. Depending on the quality and condition of the modular
cord things can go from OK to not working at all, so the poorer the
quality/condition the shorter it would need to be to minimize the effect. You
might also want to check the polarity. Reverse polarity has virtually no effect
on pots service but can put the skids to data transmission quality. Now this is
all from modem use but I think that a DSL over pots would be open to some of the
same pitfalls.
