How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think -

The spikes can be kV... but there's supposed to be a lightning arrestor somewhere to prevent damage.
Though since the arrestor was designed to prevent damage to a 1930's bakelite phone, it probably doesn't do a lot these days...Comment

So the answer to that is yes. Not completely die, but it's obviously not filtering correctly if you can hear the ADSL signal on the phone. I'd had that one 3 years; new one and no more noise.
To go further off topic a minute: the reason I was fiddling was because I'd had enough of WiFi and bought a couple of Netgear powerline connectors. One end of it is a combined ethernet link and power supply for a Netgear router (so you don't need an extra plug), but with that powering my Netgear ADSL router the ADSL refused to connect. With the old power supply it would work fine. I'm guessing it must be a noisy power supply and that kills ADSL even though the router itself was working fine.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
