That test result is indicative of a load coil gone bad or a line extender module with a bad load out L-C bridge. Lead sheathed paper cable will do this if it's wet. The cable should be pressurized and an alarm should have been sounded, by now, if there is a breach in the sheath.

I think you should have the LEC run a test from their point of demarc and see if they have the same issue.
