DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is the technology that the site is most likely using if the field technician discovers that both the internet and POTS lines are not working. DSL uses existing copper telephone lines to provide high-speed internet access and voice communication services, and it is often used in areas where other types of internet service (such as cable or fiber) are not available. If the POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines are also not working, it suggests that there is an issue with the physical copper wiring, which is used by DSL for both internet and voice communication services.
