Abstract
A method and system for determining the high speed data service capability of a subscriber line includes sending an embedded test signal to a subscriber line. A reflected signal received in response to the test signal is analyzed for determining transmission characteristics of the subscriber line. Based on the reflected signal, a determination about the high speed data service capabilities of the subscriber line is made and stored for future reference.
