For my ISP, they maintain backup power for both DSL and POTS. I suspect 
that for a lot of DSL that would hold true because it's relatively easy 
for them to power since they already have the battery backup 
requirements for POTS. The setup they have here is a DSLAM and SIP->POTS 
termination in a pedestal with fiber backhaul. They use the old copper 
that used to go back to the CO to power the pedestal.
