Can only the 100Mbs part of a 10/100Mbs router fail?

Perhaps I'm confused, but the "internet connection" that I get as part 
of my DSL is a phone-line size wire, not something that I can talk over. 
Since he mentioned that he needs a DSL *modem*/router, I'm assuming that 
the modem part is important here: without that, you don't have an 
"internet connection" to plug into.

If I had to return my router, I'd not be able to just "plug into" 
anything.
