Wait, but that's my whole point -- it's the same channel, but higher bandwidth.

If you're defining the 'channel' as 'local copper pair', then, sure?

But the other end of the local copper pair switched and became digital, which changes the channel in my eyes at least. There was then a series of bandwidth increases in the digital realm, giving significantly more efficient and effective use of the channel.

It's not the same channel, because DSL requires equipment fairly close to the subscriber. You can't transmit DSL on telephone utility poles for miles, like you can dialup.
