1. A method of qualifying a line for high speed data services, comprising:

  • a) measuring power dissipated in the line at a plurality of frequencies in a first range below a first frequency;

    b) mapping the measured power dissipations to a value representative of the average loss in the line over a second range of frequencies that extends to a second frequency, the second frequency being higher than the first frequency;

    c) using the value representative of the average loss to predict the data rate of signals transmitted in the second range; and

    d) qualifying the line for high speed data services when the predicted data rate exceeds a predetermined threshold.
