Most ADSL providers will not go out to the maximum distance that the technology allows, which for practical purposes is a bit over 18,000 ft. For example, Bell Atlantic will only go up to 15,000 ft, whereas Pacific Bell will go to about 17,500 ft, but some of the CLECs will go to the full 18,000 ft for ADSL, and even further for some other forms. For more information about the distance different providers go out to, under About DSL, click on Distance on the left side of this site.

So just because one provider won't install it for you, you may be able to get it from another provider without any trouble.
