An equivalent working length (EWL) determinative system () for use in a digital subscriber line (DSL) telecommunication network () is provided. The EWL system () includes a DSL circuit () having a customer site () with customer premises equipment (). The customer premises equipment () receives and transmits communication signals and generates a first attenuation signal in response to the communication signals. A remote terminal () forms a loop () with the customer site () and has a loop length. The remote terminal () includes a remote terminal transceiver () that is in communication with the customer premises equipment (). A main controller () is electrically coupled to the customer premises equipment () and determines an EWL of the loop () in response to the first attenuation signal. A method of performing the same is also provided.
