The present invention refers to a method (45) for locating an impairment (77) within a telecommunication line (13). In order to allow for detecting an impairment in the telecommunication line precisely and reliably and estimating a location of the impairment without interrupting the normal operation of the telecommunication line, it is suggested that the method (45) comprise determining (47) measurement data (Hlog, G) related to the telecommunication line (13) and estimating (61) a location (P) of the impairment (77) depending on the measurement data (Hlog, G), wherein said measurement data comprise crosstalk data (G) that characterize crosstalk (65, 69) between the telecommunication line (13) and at least one further telecommunication line (36). |
