The OP was referring to field solutions, rather than data centres, and 4G LTE is a far safer bet than ADSL out there. ADSL does not have a long life expectancy, whereas LTE is being used to build the ESN.
If you have to do DSL, think VDSL - and expect someone to want to swap it for a fibre tail _eventually_.
Blackbox Console Servers, but if you have an old 2500 Cisco that still works reliably can use that, though probably some security issues with the old software on these, might want to only network it to a bastion host.
If you or anyone you know sees a wild 2500, please donate it immediately to your nearest museum.
At the very least - please, I beg of you - start with a 2800, and I'm wincing at the thought of even that.
