A large chunk of the UK wouldn't have broadband if it didn't.
Is it really surprising that ADSL2, which was apparently designed to work "up to 5000 meters" of copper, can work over 2 meters of wet string? Wet salty string being 1/2500th as conductive as copper wire doesn't seem too far fetched.
You need to consider reflections attenuation and imepdance
