Yes, but would this result in more or less noise than an open end acting
like an antenna?  And would the ground loop noise be in the DSL spectrum?

Yeah, grounding both ends will result in some current traversing across the
pairs all the time because of differences in ground potential over long-ish
distances.

Grounding both ends will probably result in "hilarity ensues".  And I
suspect that Anurag can't ground the free pairs, because the copper belongs
to the provider.
