They do both use the same line from the distribution point to your home, but within the core of the telco network, they are dissected logically to a data network (DSLAM - DSL Access Multiplexer) and the Telephone Switch TEX (Telephone Exchange).
The DSL network works independently from the TEX within the core of the Telco network. Hence, if there is a problem within any of the individual components within the telco core, only services related to that particular problematic component are affected.
Cheers!
