What would happen if you run two ADSL router’s on one phone line, with the same connection details?

Now, a DSL connection splits the phone line into two channel, one for voice communication and one for the data transmissions.

However, I have been talking with an engineering friend of mine, and to his understanding, a single ADSL router will not use anywhere near all of the frequencies available to it on a phone line. So logically, a second router should not greatly interfere with it.
The biggest problem I can see is that TPG provide us with a static IP which means there would most likely be an IP clash.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I’m thinking about buying something like a Netcomm NB5  since they are reasonably cheap at Umart at the moment since the NB6 is due to arrive soon and just trying it and seeing what happens.
