The phone companies can tell you that you're not eligible for DSL when
you may be eligible.
The issue is the type of DSL service, and the length & quality of the
copper line. Different DSLs work over different line lengths. Plus, as
Clark mentions, your copper might not necessarily take a direct route to
the nearest DSLAM or CO. Then there's the quality of the line: if your
line is old, it's going to be noisy - so it might not even come close to
supporting decent speeds.
The old lines thing might be our problem too, the house is nearly 100
years old.
