Only tangentially related, but has anyone ever tried to eavesdrop on DSL? Modern DSL (VDSL2 in particular) is essentially a HF signal guided on an unshielded twisted pair (with line stubs and what not), so it should easily leak out and radiate. Apparently it does so much that radio hamateurs in the UK have been complaining[1] about it a lot. I wonder if the signal can still be demodulated or it's just an annoying baseline on the spectrum.

That seems to be recorded by tapping into the telephone wire, I meant from RFI.
