The phone companies tend to be very conservative with distances so it is indeed possible that another ISP could reach the spot. That said, however, speed and reliability is always a rapidly diminishing quantity with distance and line quality. Some DSL equipment will reach 50k feet with pristine wire - but you may be down to 128kbps long before getting that far. And what most of us would think of as "DSL speeds" are rarely attainable beyond, say, 20k feet.
Exactly. This is probably 'IDSL' which is not only slow (128-144K) but expensive as well.
